** BRAZIL. 9671.3 & 9657.4, 0553 April 7, approx. spots where
intermittent spur carriers with same talk modulation are spewing out
of 9664.53, Voz MissionÃria, among others. These compute to plus 6.77
and minus 7.13 kHz from fundamental. First time noted any such
problems from ZYE890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.7, Apr 6 at 2152, R. Aparecida S5-S7 and improving
gradually, but still too weak by 2221 to comprehend `Encontro DX`
scheduled at 2200 Sat including DX news from CÃlio Romais (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 6 at 0523, RHC English is S9+10 but just barely
modulated, like 6165; 6060 is VG S9+20, 6100 is S9+20/30 but
undermodulated; 5040 S9+30 with sufficient mod. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, April 6 at 0529, R. Rebelde modulation is cutting off
and on; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 7 at 0006, RHC attempt at an additional hour of
English fails as no signal here yet, while 6000 is S9+10 but suptorted
rating VP. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13728.296, April 7 at 1329, RHC very weak spur but with some
modulation // source 13700, and a matching one on the minus side,
unmeasured. I have continued hearing these any morning but not
relogged until now for the record. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13740, April 7 at 1331, RHC surprised here ex-13780, S9+10/20
always somewhat weaker than // 13700, S9+20/30. 13740 off by 1409
recheck. Accident or deliberate QSY? May or may not be wrong. Wonder
if this like 13780 will also occasionally get knocked off, to about
13739.25? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, April 7 at 1335, S5-S8 with flutter in
English, sounds like CRI, and yes, seems same as on 9570 via CUBA but
far out of synch. Still but poorer at 1406. HFCC shows ubiquitous 500
kW, 308 degrees toward W Europe from Urumqi site, English at 12-15.
OOFSOB = one of few signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5980, April 6 at 1342, RNZI choral music at S9 so
today has switched from 5945 unlike yesterday after 1300.

Meanwhile I sent my earlier A-19 obs to Adrian Sainsbury, who replied:

``Hi Glenn, Thank you for the feedback. There is no change planned at
present. I am visiting Samoa and Tokelau Islands for the next 2 weeks.
It will give me the opportunity to do some monitoring and help decide
if any change is required for our target area. Re 5980 the 6 MHz band
is crowded and it is difficult finding a clear channel for the long
periods we require. Replacing 9630 will be an easier to achieve.
Regards, Adrian Sainsbury | RNZI Frequency Manager, RNZ | Level 2, 155
The Terrace | PO Box 123 | Wellington | New Zealand``

9630, April 7 at 0550, RNZI VG about eels, no Aparecida het tonight.
All RNZ National programs should now be appearing one UT hour later as
NZ is back on standard time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 9689.9+, April 6 at 1900, REE SPAIN 9690 with
deportes again vs that tell-tale het on the low side as Voice of
Nigeria is still colliding with its LAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960.02-USB, April 7 at 0007, DJ glad we are
listening and playing soft rock, S6-S8 vs storm noise; 0011 ``This is
W-T-F Worldwide``, mentions music of ``golden years``; 0015 ``W-T-F
Radio Worldwide`` past 0019. He utters the WTF abbr., rather than
``what`s the frequency`` or something else. Many more reports covering
0008-0050+:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52688.0.html
No one else mentions SSB music sounding best when tuned 20 Hz high
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED: 6990v-LSB, April 7 at 0202, the weird
guy uttering Japanese-sounding syllables, interspersed with long
``aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhs`` is back! Such as kawata, koto, ishinata.
During one aaahhh the tone shifts as he is tuning down to about
6989.92. Also some long pauses past 0209, then stops. My last log of
him was Jan 14 at 0552 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3-WBFM, April 6 circa 1945 & 2045 UT chex on caradio,
hard rock station IDing only as ``Q102``, somewhat marginal but steady
signal. For some reason I am drawing a blank on it: WTFDA Database
says it`s KWDQ Woodward OK. Perhaps due to its isolation, this little
town has a dozen FM stations of which only 5 are translators or LP.
This and 100.1 a full 100 kW. Long gone are the days of 100.1 & 102.3
as Class A channels limited to 3 kW ERP. 2010y population 12K, in the
county only 20K. Woodward has two non-translator public radio relays,
of KGOU and KUCO, unlike 50K Enid with zero, not even translators
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030 & 11940 & 11670 & 9690, Sat Apr 6 at 2130, all four
REE transmitters are running and audible in Castilian, rather than
Arabic, which is evidently M-F on 12030 & 11670 only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also NIGERIA [and non]

** SWEDEN [non]. 15510, April 7 at 1808, OOFSOB, poor S4-S6 in African
language, French influence? HFCC and Aoki show it`s Radio Sama, via
IBRA Media via Woofferton UK in Fur at 1800-1830, flanked by 1730 Bej,
and 1830-1900 Ara languages. Fur? EiBi readme.txt says spoken by 0.5
mega in Darfur. WRTH had B-18 frequency as 9635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, April 7 at 1320, JBA carrier presumed from VOT
English starting at 1230 but not propagating beyond Europe? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: Noel Green,
England reports: Hello Glenn, I'm very glad to see you active again
and I hope you're feeling much better. This is to confirm that WOR was
audible this morning April 6 from Hamburg on 6190 at fair strength.
They actually started just after 0630 UT. I could copy about 80%+ of
what was being said - you started by apologising for being away from
the radio due to illness - because of local noise problems, their 1 kW
is not sufficient to overcome this unfortunately. But none the less it
was good to hear you. Best 73 from Noel``.

That was last week`s 1975, as 1976 was not ready until 0140, too late
in the middle of the night for HLR to get it loaded for new time 0629,
understandably. Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria also reports:

``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, April 6
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_6.html
0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, good signal``

WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: Next HLR airing should have been Sat
Apr 6 at 1431 on 9485-CUSB, but inaudible via UTwente SDR, and no
other reports received about it.

Confirmed Sat Apr 6 after 2100 on WRMI 9955, S4-S7.

Also confirmed UT Sun Apr 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG

Also confirmed UT Sun Apr 7 at 0344 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10
including storm noise, about 15 minutes into, so started circa 0329

** U S A. 5800, April 6 at 0522, JBA carrier, presumably still WRMI
with low-power tests. However some later chex have not detected it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6970-AM, April 7 at 0546, JBA carrier, maybe a pirate or
