** CUBA, 6000, April 3 at 0605, RHC English S9+30/40, only 49m still on but JBA at 0624 on second harmonic 12000. Also 9700 // at 0620, S7/S9 and no CCI - if 300 kW from Romania aimed thisaway 0530-0630 really be on? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, April 3 at 0603, S9/+20 of dead air from R. Educación instead of eclectic music, and as always slightly low in frequency. I gather from other reports that XEPPM appreciates its SW audience and sometimes calls out to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, April 3 at 0602, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 7319.998, April 3 at 0601, S3 music direct, presumed pirate, Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda, last reported to be on 7320, and this is very close. Nothing else known on this frequency. Ron Howard was also hearing it, as usual much better: ``April 3, I was listening from 0625 to 0655 UT, to Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda (Radio Eastern Star), again on 7320 AM; pleasant listening to mostly Russian songs, but also some instrumental music. Is wonderful that the station occasionally plays an old Russian IS. My audio posted at https://app.box.com/s/ql1oec2kkkapgg0vx01irw3sxqk7mb23 Ron, California`` Arthur Pozner replied: ``This Interval Signal was very commonly heard on the internal Home Service (All-Union) broadcasts since 1964 until the fall of the USSR. And that song in the audio recording goes back to the Civil War era (1918-1922)`` Walt Salmaniw, BC: ``Yes, I was listening just before then and agree that reception was quite good in to Masset. I posted on the HFU, and received an eQSL from the operator quite quickly. Nice touch. 73, Walt`` Gary Pence also reports at 0640: ``The Russian guy at 7320 --- Hi Glenn, I was listening on 7320 khz at 0632z, good S7 sig, KFS omni and omni at Point Reyes. N. Utah has him OK as wo71 [?] in Northern Nevada. What has changed since 4015 is that Southern Nevada radio ranch no longer heard there and now doing a little better in Stauffer, CA KB6c and the best sig in KFS southeast at S9+5 so he must be somewhat in front of this 60 degree beamwidth. His audio is really tweeked well for AM and sometimes a little over driven. I wouldn't mind if someone tried another TDOA on this current frequency. 73s, Gary, KM5X`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, April 3 at 2220, VOT English to us manages to be on air today, VG into UTwente on the way, but overmodulatedistorted. `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring` until 2228, the horribly-accented YL with something about how to breathe correctly while exercising; later, a `DYKT` segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563.5 CW, April 3 at 1458, HIFER beacon PCO from Pine, Colorado is JBA, and so is on 13565, K6FRC in Patterson California --- and seems to be another JJBBA somewhere between them but uncopiable.

RF 34, April 3 at 1533 UT, one TV DX signal decodes briefly as 33-1, KMSS-HD. That`s the 1 megawatt Fox station in Shreveport LA, correlating nicely with APRS map showing a large tropo blob between here and there. Rabbitears.info shows it has an X direxional pattern, the NW leg good for us, and not too far off the fixed beam of my antenna aimed SSE at OKC. City/city distance 574 km = 357 mi. Also, BAD signals on the STB from these RF channels: 31, 28, 26, 22, 21, 14, 12, 11, 8. Not enough DX to disrupt any of my semilocals, but marginal 16 is also Bad (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, April 3 at 0602, no signal from RV on 7260, 7890 or 11835. But at 0608 a JBA carrier on 5040 - I bet that`s it, as later confirmed by Ron Howard: ``5040, Radio Vanuatu, 0659-0750 UT, April 3. "BBC World Service" promo, available on 104 FM Port Vila (my audio attached); 0701-0713, news in Bislama (several items about the number of households in Vanuatu without clean water and food, a month after the recent natural disasters [news story - http://bit.ly/3U72sVZ ], etc.); island pop songs; 0730+, generic PSA about cyclones; somewhat readable.
