** CUBA. 11760, Apr 28 at 1935, speech in English about democracy, ha2, from RHC, not off the air but S9+10 into Georgia SDR, while primary? frequency this hour, 15140, is off. Lots of background noise at the venue. Outro as PM of St Vincent & Grenadines. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 15474.8, Apr 28 at 1453, JBA algo. Askew like that, I bet it`s Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN. Yes, HFCC shows some Encompass transmission in Japanese until 1500, but what is it, really? Furusato no Kaze per EiBi & Aoki. As long as LRA36 not try to emit before 1500, this will not be a problem.
BTW, due to storms and power outages I was unable to check for Esperanza this Sat Apr 27 before or after 22 UT on 15475.98 RCUSB - did anyone hear it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 28 at 1857, clear Arabic, presumed Rep. of Yemen Radio, recovered from horrible buzzroar instead, S9+5/20 into UTwente, but chopped off air at 1859* unexpected time. I`ll bet we hear the buzzroar again. ! shortly after writing that, recheck at 1905, there it is! buzzroar only at same signal level but sounding much louder. I was about to bandscan for a new frequency. It`s as if they deliberately changed from one to the other. Something`s always wrecked at wRiyadh (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17870, Apr 28 at 1448, surprised to find Spanish here, anti-Russian comments, 1449 VOA editorial, S5/S7; 1456 R. Martí ID for 1180 and vague ``onda corta``; so the separate Grimesland broadcast aimed at Cuban mercenaries for Russia in Ukraine has abruptly shifted from 17865 for the Sat/Sun only broadcast at 13-17. Neither 17865 nor 17870 appears in latests Aoki, EiBi nor HFCC! And I see no ACI or CCI reason to change. Maybe avoiding jamming? Not aware of any. At 1559 it`s S7/S9 into UTwente, but I can`t get the few Kiwis in western Russia or eastern Europe to run. Some now labeled as not covering higher MHz bands. M-F 17-21 UT 17690 ex-17680 is also missing from HFCC. About due for another change without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
