** CUBA. 6060, May 18 at 0636, this RHC English is humbuzzy again,
while 6165 & 6100 are both on and OK; 6000 & 5040 both off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 1426, RHC Spanish ex-9710, just as it was for
the tarde transmission earlier UT May 18. BUT:
9710, May 18 at 2155 back here after last evening and this morning on
9700 instead; so a one-day test, mistake, or what? Both have collision
problems during their long spans as I already explained.
It will be recalled that for a few weeks, 9700 was employed for
evening English instead of 6145 or 6165. RHC really *should* keep one
31mb frequency for that, especially in summer, instead of putting all
their English eggs in the noisy 48-59m basket. Reasonable frequency
diversity is always a good idea for best coverage. Wait a minute: what
if the Commies take my advice? Never mind. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13610 & 13677 very approx., wideband FM spurblobs not from
13700 in the mornings, but now at 2152 May 18, from 13740-AM in the
evening, the only RHC fundamental on band. Also telltale F# tone; also
a trace circa 13811. But all gone at 2227 since 13740 has been turned
off tho still scheduled.
13670 & 13810 spurs out of 13740-AM, all back on May 19 at 0033.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6145 & 6165, May 19 at 0052 and still 0142, no RHC English on
either, just 6000 which is S9+10/20 but undermodulated, vs storm
noise. It does not help that main announcer Lina Valverde has such a
thin, non-announcer voice. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 19 at 0143, REE to N America is still propagating
midnightly, natch OSOB, S9-S7 and also until 0200 sign-off, 0201-0205*
needless prolongation of earworm IS but SOP for REE at closings. Only
// 11940 for S America does the same and is better at S9/+20. As
non-useful as it may be for best listening, sticking to 17855 may be
taken at least as an interesting propagational experiment for the
summer A-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, May 18 at 2158 & still 2226 recheck, no signal from
VOT English to N America tho no RTTY either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, May 18 at 0638, S9+10/20 of open carrier, surely
WRMI-10. Misprogrammed automation or test for some reason? Last time I
caught same way after-hours was April 6, also a Tuesday, no
coincidence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
