** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800 only, April 14 at 0230-0330* monitoring RAE Argentina al Mundo as now on WRMI skedgrid and also on the air. It`s not Spanish-only, but all 8 languages. Opening by Fernando in Spanish as ``Made en Casa`` #3, sked since 6 Apr at 0230-0300 [sic] Tue-Sat. So it`s a week old already? Last week it was #2, apparently produced once a week and repeated over & over. 0235 into Portuguese YL; brief music bridges, Andean music this time; 0243 French giving time for that as 2330 L-V on 7780; 0249 Italian YL & OM; 0256 German YL thru hourtop; 0302 English by Fernando again, giving new A-20 sked for that as 1-1:30 am Tue-Sat on 9395, starting April 6 referred to as ``last Monday``, so now it seems this segment was recorded today? 0308 to YL in Chinese; 0314 Japanese; and that`s 8 with time to spare, so? 0321 Portuguese again; 0324 outro in Spanish, 0326 music to 0330*. Each may include a bit of news about what`s going on especially quarantine-related in Argentina, and refer to website for more real news in each language. Note: just last night, UT Monday after 0300, something totally different on 5800: Prague in English // 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 12190, April 14 at 1441, weak Chinese vs CODAR, certainly CNR1 jammer against one of countless Sound of Hope, Taiwan low-power frequencies. Quick check of WOOB areas 10.9-15 MHz finds no others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6145 // 6100 // 6060, April 14 at 0552, quite unusually, RHC English now at equally good signal and modulation levels on all three! But rounding out The Cuban Five, 6000 is undermodulated and 5040 mushy. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, April 14 at 0553, Radio Rebelde is off again; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Next check 1449 a JBA carrier: remnants normally audible ~sesquihour before sunset to sesquihour after sunrise over this 2+ megameter path (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TAIWAN [non]. 5010 // 5800 // 7780 // 9395, April 14 at 0217, RTI Spanish via WRMI on *four* frequencies as we have observed before; now the April 11 update of WRMI skedgrid finally agrees with this observation; always a time lag to match up. The 0100 is shown and heard on 5800 only and the 2200 on 7780 only. I`ve not yet confirmed whether there really be a new show every night; maybe still mentioning date in openings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 14332-USB, April 14 at 1508, W8BF in TN prompting for check-ins from anywhere to the YL Systems net. What`s this? Nothing but OM voices heard, 1509 on to KM4TTT in FL asking for calls. Also ran across this net recently on 40m. All explained here: https://ylsystem.org/ ``Since 1963y, YL International Single Sideband System`` --- Once OMs were allowed in, nothing about the gender differential percentage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1714 UT April 14
