USA re 5010 kHz WRMI Okeechobee, Florida US state in North America,
yes noted today April 29 empty channel ON AIR
in 06-07 UT time slot, strength like Cuba Spanish Latin music on 5025 kHz.Surprise, surprise, RHC on 7350 kHz. CUBA RHC Spanish now on 7350.001 kHz from Bejucal site.
But not at 11.00 UT check, nor at 11.12 UT,
noticed this channel later after 12 UTC. 12.05-12.15 UT noted
on S=9+25dB in Edmonton Alberta Canada remote Perseus installation. Adjacent KNLS ALaska 7355 kHz at 12.10 UT at S=9+10dB strength,
and CNR1 Beijing-Matoucun #572 site Mandarin sce on 7345 kHz S=8. Noticed also in 22 mb RHC now - VERY SURPRISING -
not on A-season 13780 kHz channel, but on 13740 kHz again,
broadband 20 kHz wideband audio !
co-channel and - latter - covered as always since years by
TDF RFI Issoudun France in northern summer A-seasons. At 10.53 UT noticed Cuba RHC TX ON AIR already from Quivican San Felipe
TITAN 250 kW site, S=9+40dB on exact
5999.994 kHz, at same time check also
6100even (ex11950) RHC from Bauta site at 11.07 UT,
also empty TX carrier channel 10.54 - 11.00 UT on S=9+25dB strength. 9535even RHC Bejucal, poor S=6-7 at 11.04 UT in NJ, NY, MI, states;
and Edmonton Canada. At 11 UT also string visible on 15230 kHz, but under threshold,
probably from RHC Quivican site towards Brazil and Argentina ? 7305even kHz At 11.25 UT S=9+20dB empty txion channel like
engineering test on US Greenville NC site.
At same time powerhouse 7335 kHz R Marti Spanish to Cuba,
despite of Drumps budget lowers from 29 to 11 mill $ annually. On 25 and 22 mb also noted some scratching audio signals
annoying in ranges
CODAR transmissions
11857 to 11865 kHz and
11926 to 11933 kHz at 11.21 UT,
13424 to 13477 kHz at 12.52 UT OTHR broad 13505 to 13515 kHz signal block from Asia at 12.53 UT Also - I guess - 13603 to 13609 kHz - some scratch audio
? intermodulation appears from Bejucal Cuba site ?
Low -104dBm on threshold level in eastern US states,
but stronger noted in western Canada at Edmonton remote SDR site.
Othe scratches of audio intermodulation mix of UNKNOWN txion center at 13.03
UT on 13571, 13682, and 13820 kHz. Now - from 13 - 15 UT, at 13.06 UT check RHC Bauta now appears also on
13700even kHz. In peaks up to 20 kHz wideband audio.
Fair S=8-9 signal in Alberta CAN. 73 wb df5sx ----- Original Message -----

CUBA. 13502, 13568, 13634; 13766, 13832, 13897 approx., April 28 at
1418, extremely distorted spurblobs out of S9+30 13700-AM of RHC. The
inner pair are much stronger than the rest at intervals of about 66
kHz; more readable in AM than FM mode which also bears the earmark F#
tone above Cmiddle. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)CUBA. 11980, April 29 at 0020, CRI relay in stilted Spanish,
S8/S9+10 which could be mistaken for a fundamental instead of the
second harmonic of 5990 which is S9+10/30; also on non-harmonic weaker
// 15120. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Both fundamentals are
Quivicán per Aoki/NDXC but fails to acknowledge the existence of
11980. Nor does Eibi, but ``harm`` 12000 for RHC, and the Vanuatus,
nothing else despite what I and others may hear. Aoki does not even
include the widely-reported Vanuatu multiples of 3945. I find it perplexing how some DX sources are so reluctant to publish
harmonix and other monitored spurs. Sesquidecades ago I had a column
in NASWA FRENDX, `Hunting Harmonics with Hauser`, and got the
impression that some `DXperts` were reluctant to admit that they
really exist, that I was not imagining them, or suffering from
receiver-produced images (which can also happen, but, know how to tell
the difference!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000 & 6145, UT Wed April 29 at 0030, at tune-in the mit-week
edition of RHC `DXers Unlimited` is just starting right at the
midpoint of its widely variable timing during each English hour ---
assuming that started on time, not always the case. First topix are
the sporadic-E season about to start (meaning on VHF, it already did,
April 13/15, and before that on HF); and sunspot signs of two solar
cycles at once --- but reception is so poor on the only two
frequencies, due to heavy storms in central and NE Oklahoma, and
undermodulated/weak signals, that I give up. Why, in the noisy, insolated summer, are all RHC English eggs in one 6
MHz basket after 00 UT, plus even lower 5 MHz, not always, after 05
UT? Makes one wonder how well frequency manager Arnie really
understand propagation. I would not call him a ``self-styled expert``
as he once honored me. Something`s always wrong at RHC, and this is
just another thing, self-defeating its anti-American propaganda ---
so, way to go! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5010, April 28 at 0559, S9+10/20 of open carrier; can`t see
how it could be anything but WRMI-10 which nominally closes at 0330
after Argentina relay. So why on now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)this report dispatched at 0333 UT April 29
