** CUBA. 6000, Sunday March 17 at 0639, this RHC English is off, but
the other four of The Cuban Five are on, this time with good
modulation: 6165, 6100, 6060, 5040 with honky-tonk piano, ``Ain`t
Misbehavin``` as outroed. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Sunday March 17 at 1916, `DXers Unlimited` is just
starting on RHC, but VP S4-S4 with depressed MUF. At least is back to
usual time within the hour rather than near the start as one week ago.
Too poor to copy, but as usual Arnie is hurrying thru his script. You
should have heard him `En Contacto` at 1345 on several Spanish
frequencies, breakneck pace and very slurred speech. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 7285, Sunday March 17 at 0616, church choir and
organ, Afrikaans talk, sermon? S7-S9, from Radio Sonder Grense which
has only 10-14 days left as an SWBC station. It`s 100 kW at 275
degrees from Meyerton, not hard to hear here, nor is the night
frequency 3320 at 18-05 UT as the sun is setting; after 7285 at 05-08,
it`s 9650 at 08-18 with Guinea, Saudi and other QRM problems (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7490, March 17 at 1505, synthetic Spanish on
WWCR --- o, it`s TOMBS with choppy translation of Brother Scare`s
contact info, rendering his name as ``La Escalera del Hermano``, ha3;
at least they did not transform it into El Susto del Hermano! Then
other languages so garbled I can`t be sure of them, maybe Swedish,
etc. Can`t he get these voices to be hoarse? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, March 17 at 0625 or so, WRMI Oldies with ``Alice`s
Restaurant`` which goes on and on until 0637; a treat to hear but only
fair with some fadedowns; if // 9395, inaudible there. The canned
announcer has it easy, never identifying or saying anything about the
tunes which sing for themselves (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9380.422, March 17 at 1357-1401+, S3-S4 of fading open
carrier, vs much weaker JBA carrier on 9380.0. HFCC and EiBi have
nothing scheduled now on 9380, only AIR elsewhen, but Aoki/NDXC still
shows the AIR National Channel. Maybe the stronger carrier is a ute
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
