** CANADA. 2598-USB, March 12 at 0616, YL in French marine weather,
poor, at a time when nothing is supposed to be active among the NL
stations.
2749-USB, March 12 at 0616, another collision between Canadian coast
guard stations, and again at a time unscheduled for any of them in the
Nova Scotia-Quebec area. Better signals than 2598. Same RoboYL voice,
at first one in English, the other in French, 0619 both in French.
Almost every sentence ends before a pause with `vendredi soir`` =
Friday evening. Isn`t anyone paying attention at CCG? Are no mariners
complaining to them about this? By 0621, just one is on, and at 0627
in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. 6010, March 13 after 0000 UT and recheck 0320, still no
signal again from Alcaraván Radio, or the Voice of Thy Conscience
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, March 12 at 0014, RHC is S9+20 but JBM and suptorted in
English, also some Spanish crosstalk; then English mod faded up a bit,
and it`s // clear undermodulated English on 6145, S9+20. Last night
RHC seemed to be starting the two English frequencies around 0100 but
tonight evidently they are trying for 0000. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6010v, March 12 at 0020, trying for COLOMBIA, I have a JBA
signal which is wobbling, perhaps caused by Doppler flutter, or two
stations slightly apart beating, one of them unstable. A slight peak
sounds like Chinese; or is it Spanish? Not Portuguese. Nothing else is
scheduled at this time but BRAZIL. Then I remember a previous finding:
another Cuban leapfrog mixing product of 5990 over 6000 another 10 kHz
beyond. At 0035 on second radio I can CONFIRM // audio 6010 and 5990,
so that`s exactly what it is now. The fulcrum RHC frequency 6000 has
to be on air at same time, and so it is tonight with undermodulated
English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2025)
** CUBA. 13780, March 12 at 1352, RHC here ex-13740; change or
mistake? Have used 13780 before; no obvious reason to move back and
forth. By 1437, 13780 is off. Still on 13700, spurless. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, March 12 at 2255, RHC in Brazuguese, and 2300 into
English. Finally four days after the imposition of yanqui-inspired
DST, RHC have found this transmission, moved one UT hour *later*
instead of logical earlier, ex-2200. Now probably at 2200 is French
ex-2100. 11880 was back on air yesterday but in Spanish before and
after 2300. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 13570, March 12 at 1353, poor signal in French; CRI
via Kashi/Kashgar at 1200-1357. Not usually audible here on the edge
of the ISM band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 12 at 0604, Radio Truth signing off in
English requesting reports to PO Box 5, Chiquimula, address! Then same
in German. Yet Dr Madrid has said over and over that there is no
postal service in Guatemala, e-mail only, certainly for outgoing
eQSLs. Is there postal or isn`t there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU. 5980, March 12 at 2351, another Chaski-check finds JBA
carrier autocutoff at 2351:53.5*, which is 18 seconds earlier than
last check 9 days ago, March 3 at 2352:11.5*, i.e. right on the mark
of 2.0 seconds each. Not much jamming with which to contend this time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5935, March 12 at 0602, S9+40 of dead air from WWCR,
certainly longer than necessary for a cigar puff, but DGS has resumed
by 0622. Meanwhile, 5890 was off, 4840 & 3215 nominal with TOMBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15610, March 12 at 1858, weak open carrier and not sure of
any modulation after 1900, but WEWN is back on proper day channel
instead of night channel 9385, where heard yesterday after 1900 but
not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15215, March 12 at 1356, S4-S5 open carrier with
flutter, soon off at 1357*. No clues in the schedules (Glenn Hauser,
