** CUBA. 9720, April 9 at 2112, NO signal from RHC, despite new sked
dated April 7 via Wolfgang Bueschel claiming English to Africa is now
here at 21-22. I quickly scan the 9, 11, 13 and even 15 MHz bands for
a replacement, including last year`s frequency 11880 --- zilch. I do
the same during the following two hours when 9720 continues absent, at
2245 and 2314, the latter when English continues on 5040.

I could not imagine RHC would be using 7 MHz band for this, so
unchecked, but Dave Kenny, UK found 7380! as new English-to-Africa
frequency, at 23-24, preceded 22-23 by French and Kriyol (instead of
Portuguese). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 11980, April 9 at 2315, CRI English relay at S9/S9+10. This
could easily be taken as a fundamental, but it`s really second
harmonic of 5990 which is only slightly stronger, S9+10/20; and
axually sounds better on 11980. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, UT Wed April 10 at 0033-0043, RHC English is S9+10/20
but just barely modulated, while // 6165 is undermodulated but
sufficient, during `DXers Unlimited` which Arnie introduces as the
``weekend edition``, so wrong show played? Some ham topic I zone out
from his mumbled presentation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, April 10 at 0101 I happen to catch tail of Spanish
frequency announcement claiming 5040 start at 0200 --- but here we
are! And 11760 to stop at 0300. Also plugs now 4 FM frequencies 24h
covering fraxions of Cuba. But all in Spanish? No, English also claims
to be on them, but what is the breakdown also with other languages?

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9630, April 10 at 0612, RNZI is VG, but ~0.5
kHz het also audible from high side, i.e. R. Aparecida, Brasil (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 5980, April 10 at 1433, two VP signals a few
Hz apart beating, i.e. RNZI vs Shiokaze. The latter seems to go off
about 1435 as scheduled, but RNZI signal is still unstable, Doppler
fading? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 11680, April 9 at 1804, VP S4-S6 news in French; 1820 think I
hear RFI mentioned, but it`s really BBCWS per HFCC, 1800-1830, 300 kW,
152 degrees from Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: NOT confirmed Tuesday April
9 at 2055 the 2030 on WRMI 7780, which had been reliable for many
months; instead, sounds like synthetic Bible readings, but not //
TOMBS 9330v etc. WRMI websked still shows WOR, so a mistake or
permanent change?

WOR also NOT confirmed Wednesday April 10 at 1030 on WRMI 5950, as I
happen to awaken; instead: SMTV! See WRMI item below for expanded SMTV
sked. Next WORs unless further WRMI changes:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
0000 UT Thursday WRMI 7730
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780
0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 [new; or 1977?]

** U S A. 4980, April 10 at 0058, WRMI with Supreme Master TV, 0059.5
Zanotti ID and off, extended an hour. Also more SMTV April 10 at 1033
instead of WORLD OF RADIO on Wednesday. The WRMI frequency grid
websked has now been updated as of April 7 for 24 hours of SMTV, one
frequency at a time, presumably 7 dpw, thus blowing away that WOR and
all other programming in these blox, mainly Systems D and F:

01-03 5950, 03-04 9395, 04-08 5950, 08-10 9395, 10-11 5950,
11-14 7570, 14-20 15770, 20-21 9395, 21-01 4980.

But the program skedgrids below that have not been updated to
correspond! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5010, UT Wed April 10 at 0100, WRMI in English with Bible
readings; frequency grid shows extension 0100-0130 Tue-Sat on System
H, but the System H program grid does not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
