** CUBA. 15370, March 7 at 2046, RHC is in English and just barely
modulated. This Bauta frequency is supposed to be in French starting
at 2030; 15140 is also in English where it is supposed to be, but
overmodulated/distorted at S9+10. Anyhow, no spurs audible from
either. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
15370, March 7 at 2206, RHC by now is in proper Spanish, S9+5 but JBM,
yet the SSOB if not the OSOB. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 6060, March 8 at 0523, RHC in Spanish instead of
supposed-to-be-English after 0500, only S9+10 so not the usual bigsig;
and suffering a SAH from Qur`an, underneath as the Fribbath is
underway overthere. That`s Algeria via FRANCE at 04-06, only the first
hour supposed to be Qur`anic per Aoki, the second Network 1 in French
& Arabic. Something`s always wrong at RHC. How about the other RHC English frequencies? *None* of them are any
good now: 6100 S9+10, 6000 S9 but both undermodulated; 6165 very poor
S8 with ACI from stronger 6170 VOA Hausa via ASCENSION! Somethings are
always wrong at RHC. 5040, March 8 at 0622, the final RHC hour here is also in English,
S9+20/30 but overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13728.283V, March 8 at 1426, JBA carrier blob wobbling, and a
match on 13671.715V, spurs out of 13700-AM RHC, i.e. plus & minus
28.28+ kHz as also measured previously. There could also be second-orders at plus/minus 56.56 kHz, the upper
clashing with WINB DRM noise 13755-13760, but its lower component
cannot be detected circa 13643 in the clear. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15700, March 8 at 1432, China Plus relay in English is S9+30
and suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 15230, March 8 at 1433, RHC is S9+10 of dead air, maybe a
trace of modulation, while 15140 is too-loud & clear. By 1538 recheck,
15230 is modulating but distorting and crackling, about like 15140
during `Sonido Cubano`, tsk2, ruining an otherwise worthwhile music
show. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** JAPAN. 11815.0, March 8 at 1435, wild jazz from R. Japan in
Japanese service; S7-S8 with a heavy het from weaker Turkey off-
frequency 11815.7, but almost eliminated by AMF button on R75, better
by LSB-only tuning. Turkey off by 1500 so ``NHK Warudo`` ID and 3+1
resounding timesignal, // 9750 which had no such QRM. Then 11815 off
clearing for Qur`an from VOT; see Turkey (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ** MALI. 5995, March 7 at 2214, S6-S7 very poor music, but must be
ORTM reactivated again after a few more days AWOL. Richard Langley
says it went off at 2230* instead of nominal previous schedule to 2400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 11815.7, March 8 at 1502, VOT Turkish with Qur`an, Fribbath
vespers, in the clear after stronger NHK closed 11815.0 (see JAPAN). I
wonder if it`s live from the brand-new super-mosque which just opened
yesterday in Istanbul:

A report I saw said each minaret is dedicated to some war or another
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490.17v, UT Fri Mar 8 at 0103, WBCQ playing back an old
`Allan Weiner Worldwide` during an Available Time Slot
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=7490
--- and there was another(?) one three hours earlier sometime after
2200 as I tuned by March 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5130.48v, UT Fri March 8 at 0109, this WBCQ is on, S9+10,
two guys conversing giving multiple platforms, mentioning Liberty
Radio, time for the Intel Report (subsexion?), 0113 pause to fulfill a
listener`s birthday music request from Kalkaska; refers to ``lower
49`` maybe implying this originate in Alaska? No, Kalkaska is a small
town and county in northern Michigan near Traverse City. Probably the
revived militia show, secretly shortwaving: Still *nothing* displayed
on the 5130 schedule
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=5130
between 0330 UT Wed and 0100 UT Sat. 3264.9, March 8 at 0115, this WBCQ can be detected as JBA carrier,
apparently always on but never usable here; and NO info about program
content:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=3265
Others have indicated it relayed Pirate Joe`s WHVW; or the AM side of
WBCQ, WXME; or Timtron`s LP in Skowhegan ME, WXNE (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17775, Thu March 7 at 2208, JBA carrier, the Only Signal On
Band, must be KVOH running later than scheduled, but total loss as far
as we are concerned. Another look at skedgrid revised 1 Feb. shows
closings: 2005* M/W/F, 2200* Tue/Thu, 2100* Sat, and never on Sunday
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1751 UT March 8
