** BRAZIL. 9630.453, May 18 at 0535, S5-S7 carrier, maybe unmodulated,
obviously R. Aparecida, which had been missing for some time at
nightmiddle chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non?]. 11860v, May 18 at 0245, S9 total of open carrier
with slight het and pulse jamming. At first I wondered if Radio MartÃ
carrier were still on from Greenville long after sign-off. But one of
the 11860 sigs is the JBM +10 kHz RHC spur out of 11850, which is
S9+30; the matcher on the low side, 11840 in the clear, is S9. There
is also a slight het on the low side of 11860, which could be Saudi`s
Yemen service, as Gianni Serra, Roma, had measured it April 28 on
11859.96 --- I haven`t heard it well in ages. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060, May 18 at 0254, RHC Spanish frequency is OFF. May 18 at
0526, 6060 still off and 6100 too, both now supposed too be English,
leaving only 6165 undermodulated, and 6000 S9+20 with somewhat more
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9790, May 18 at 0537, huge open carrier at S9+40. Still at
0546 but gone at 0600 recheck. Obviously the 250 kW Habana relay of
CRI not turned off at 0500; RFI 500 kW in French is scheduled here at
0500-0700, but not a trace of it. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.239, May 18 at 1329, RHC again self-knocked off from
13740.000, S6-S8; while // 13700 is S9+10. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, May 18 at 1334, RHC is S9 vs storm noise; almost seems
like a fundamental, but unscheduled, really 2 x 6000 also still
audible at S9, then a dead air pause on both. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9330.1, May 17 at 2231, TOMBS via WBCQ old
transmitter, and on old 7490.1, but NOT // --- forced myself to listen
to each for a minute and no match even out of synch. At 2342, BS still
on 9330.15, S8/S9+10 replaying the bit about EMP threat, while 7490.17
now has gospel huxter at S9/S9+10. As we are approaching AAAWWW time,
no sigs detectable on 5130 or 3265, high storm noise level. More at
USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1982 monitoring: confirmed Friday
May 17 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, fair but fading; it was better before
2200 with VORW. By 2227, S5-S7 vs unnecessary Cuban pulse jamming;
usual overlap with next item as I conclude with ``--- next week``.
Fortunately those words are disposable, non-essential. Andy Sennitt ID
is also cut off before he can finish uttering the WRMI address, as
automation continues to be misaligned, 2230 into gospel huxter in
Spanish.

Also confirmed UT Saturday May 18 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, fair in storm
noise.

** U S A. Continued from SOUTH CAROLINA [non}: 9330.15v & 7490.17v,
May 17 at 2357, WBCQs monitored on two receivers, smoothly merge into
same fill music following separate programming, and at 0000:00 sharp
May 18, ``William Tell Overture`` theme starts, plays complete with no
interjexions! 0003 dead air for a minute; 0004 oncomes Allan Weiner
saying it`s been a rough day, with crazy issues, but undetailed. Once
again he`s very depressed this week and says he almost didn`t want to
do the show. It`s not clear whether this is all about the project, or
the political situation, or both. Says trimulcasting on 3265, 9330,
7490. I listen to the first half on 9, then 7 is better.

I gather that the supertransmitter has not been on since last week, as
the antenna is still not ready; delays due to heavy rain for two
weeks. Funding problems, issues over money; local contractors gouging.
Invites phone calls right away but no one seems to inquire exactly
what the problems are. I keep listening hoping for some useful info.
At 0038 says they are buying an old ladder firetruck for $ 5K to reach
the antenna heights, instead of renting a ladder truck which has been
costing $ 22K per month. New transmitter is so complicated, watch out!
When working, it`s great. Now hopes to get into full-fledged operation
sometime in June. 0045 reads a few pirate items from Free Radio Weekly
just published, including, unattributed, my log of Captain Morgan SW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, May 18 at 1330, WWCR with a sporadic-E boost to
S9+10/20. Still at 1512, S9/S9+20. 6m Es map not checked until 1700
when there is not much, nor on 10m, but latter does show some golden
TE - Trans-Equatorial contacts between SE USA and deep South America
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15809.918, May 18 at 1512, WTWW-3 rarely on with classic
rock, distorted overmodulation, and as always offset way below
15810.000. S9+10 via my inside longwire due to storming. Still at
1551.

[non] While in the neighborhood, look for World Music Radio, Denmark,
200 watts on 15805, which SHN says is on the air this Sat & Sun at
0700-2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, May 18 at 1511, again this Saturday no signal from
KVOH when `Wavescan` is scheduled; off or not propagating? OSOB is JBA
carrier from 17815 WHRI. KVOH had come back earlier this week after
last week`s outage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 18 at 0533, finally no signal from the mystery
open carrier which has been on here several nights (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
