** CHINA. Unusually today I have been bandscanning the entire 11-15
MHz OOB range for jammers, once one was found to be propagating, as I
was originally looking for a Cuban harmonic on 12200.
12190, April 17 at 1234 Chinese at S3 // 6125 and 11785 where there is
a mixture. This is one of countless CNR1 jamming frequencies as
monitored by Wolfgang Bueschel during this hour, +3 Hz high.
13130, April 17 at 1242, another Chinese at S2 // 11785. Per wb`s
report, another CNR1, vs Sound of Hope, the latter being +86 Hz high
when he heard it, but not even a het from it here.
12820, April 17 at 1244, Chinese at S3. Wb`s report shows CNR1 on
exact frequency, while target SOH when he monitored was -95 Hz low,
inaudible here.
15110, April 17 at 1408, Chinese opera and talk at S9-S5, the only
such signal inside 19mb; it`s CNR1 jammer against VOA Chinese via
Philippines this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, April 16 at 0559 [not 0539 typo originally], RHC
English is suptorted just before 0600* turnoff, which seems to be
intentional from this frequency/site only. English continues on best
6060 with This Day In History, concerning Bay of Pigs, Fidel speech
declaring the Revolution is socialist (-- gotcha!) and the founding of
RHC in 1961y; also good signal and modulation this time on 6100,
slightly worse on 6165. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000 & 6165, UT Wed Apr 17 at 0238, both the only RHC English
frequencies this early are undermodulated, and to boot, 6000 is also
suptorted, in DXers Unlimited just ending at 0239, and into a new
program `Connecting the Dots` with a new announcer, Mike somebody,
about the A-bomb in 1945 --- no doubt another way of spewing anti-
American propaganda. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 4765, April 17 at 0241 check, R. Progreso still missing. Does
Arnie ever explain such significant problems? Of course not!
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11840 at S7 & 11860 at S9, April 17 at 0242, RHC Spanish
spurs out of 11850 at S9+20. Elsewhere on 25m at 0249: 11670 is S9+20
but suptorted; 11700 S6-S8 but clear; 11760 off already. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, April 17 at 0559, RHC English re-opening another hour,
suptorted here and stays a while past 0600 tonight; 6060 is VG, 6100
is good and slightly better than 6165, while 5040 is off already.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 6100, April 17 at 1229, RHC Spanish
mixing/underneath Russian, which is CRI, 500 kW, 55 degrees from
Beijing site this hour only. the two making a medium SAH. RHC is also
on 6000 undermodulated, and no longer on 6150. No harmonix audible on
12200 or 12000.
Well into the A-19 season, what does RHC websked say?
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias
It`s still B-18! Showing nothing lower than the imaginary 9600 in the
12-14 UT morning, despite their really running 6150.
An A-19 sked via Wolfgang Bueschel, however, shows 6000 at 11-14, 250
kW QuivicÃn non-direxional; and 6100 at 11-13, 100 kW Bauta at 340
degrees toward Chicago with `Mesa Redonda` --- but I think these M.R.
entries in the morning are spurious. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13740, April 17 at 1404, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air, not turned
off yet. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** UKRAINE [non]. 7780, April 17 at 0235, WRMI relaying ``English
service of Ukrainian Radio, with Ukrainian Perspective``, fair.
Inconvenient listening time for me, but pleased to note that this
service still exist on SW, scheduled only at 0230-0300 UT Tue-Sat.
Main announcer has a very distinctive voice, instantly recognizable;
what does he call himself? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Wed April 17 at 1323, S6-S9, WRMI in DX program, rapid
Spanish about British pirates of the 60s, with many clips (in
English); 1327 outro mixing with rapid Morse code, 1329 ID as ``La
SÃper StÃreo``. It`s `Antena DX` from 1300, in a timeslot once filled
by World of Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505v, April 7 at 0237 check, WRNO still AWOL (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
