** ALASKA. 9580, April 27 at 1454, ending `Creation Moment`,
anti-science nonsense, then rock music, and KNLS closing with English
schedule for ``New Life Station`` including 13760 at 03 for S Asia,
i.e. via Madagascar. This confirms that not all the English hours from
MWV Mahajanga are African Pathways Radio as one schedule asserted.
Alaska had resumed on April 23 after 3+ weeks off, not clear exactly
why, expenses?
Supposedly current sked for both is here:
https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/
including KNLS English: 08 on 9695; 10 on 9580; 12 on 9795 and 7355;
14 on 9580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ALASKA. 9730, April 27 at 1502, rock song at S4-S6, clearly a
station that does not believe in news on the hour --- or any news at
all about the *real* world. 9730 is heavily used by China, North
Korea, Vietnam and Myanmar, but Aoki shows this one-hour window for
KNLS in Russian; only possible competition being SOH Taiwan relaying
RFA up to 20 hours a day including this one. In fact, it`s the same
KNLS-2 transmitter I just heard in English before 1500 on 9580, but
now 30 degrees clockwise at 300 degrees for ``E Central Russia``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 9680, April 27 at 1501, S5-S9 open carrier, presumably CNR1
jammer against Taiwan not turned off yet, but could be vice versa.
Aoki/NDXC shows jammer site as Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 11640, April 26 at 2125, chat in English about the
value of reading books, African accent, S4-S5. It`s CRI via MALI, that
odd half-hour broadcast until 2130, or is it expansion of the previous
one-hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, April 27 at 0550, RHC in Spanish instead of English
during this hour, S9+30. Something`s always cockeyed at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13763 & 13637 approx., April 27 at 1406, RHC `Sonido Cubano`
music back on big distorted S9 spurblobs, about plus/minus 63 kHz out
of 13700-AM transmitter. Useless in SSB tuning but audible in AM or
FM, and with the F# tone in FM. JBA on second-orders circa 13573 &
13827. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 7335, April 27 at 0554, Radio Martí music at S9+20,
apparently hit parade having reached #1, no jamming audible at first
unlike slightly weaker // 7365 S9+10/20. 0559 elaborate ID, ``siempre
contigo``. 0600 becomes `Radio Revoltillo`, show of revolting
comments, dated jueves 23 de abril, so a replay; also counts number of
days to end of year. Jamming now audible under 7335. Nothing on 5980
now except jamming as no RM until 0700; and 6030 audible under
jamming. Comments about how the Great October Revolution was really in
November due to calendar changes. 0613 takes phone call to a 305
number, evidently from another exile; or contact via
radiorevoltillo@gmail.com
RM has other music shows late at night. Better enjoy all this while
you can, as overnight 04-10 UT transmissions on SW are to be canceled
effective May 2, apparently due to a major budget cut. RM is the main
output of Grimesland, vs only a few VOA transmissions in Bambara,
French, Hausa, English, so we fear this could be the beginning of the
end for the ``Greenville`` site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7254.9, April 27 at 0554 tune-in, big VON carrier cuts off
immediately, unknown if ever came back. At least they tried (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday April 27 at 0130 on WRMI 7780 - only, VG via Maine SDR;
repeated at 0230.
Also confirmed UT Mon Apr 27 starting at 0305 on Area 51 via WBCQ,
5130-, stably a few Hz on minus side, after an ancient Jean Shepherd
stream-of-consciousness monolog ran over, concluding with his peppy
themesong - what was it? Axually better here, S9+10/20 than to a
Rochester remote where there were storms. Alternate 6160v NOT on the
air.
WOR 2031 presumably confirmed UT Mon Apr 27 at 0330 on WRMI 9955;
checked previous semihour during RPI it was S9+10. Next:
1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania? to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 9955, Sunday April 26 at 2120, WRMI with chat between W&M
about their favorite TV shows; it`s `The Lab` for a semihour, easily
overlooked and last reported in September as in DXLD 19-39, with
quotation from WRMI program page still there, outdated info lacking
this very airing, IDing them as Kate Holiday and Ryan Rivers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
