** CANADA. 2749-USB, April 2 at 0637 UT, unusual to hear anything in
the nightmiddle, but marine weather info in French with English
accent; millibars and direxions mentioned, also Matane several times
which is a QuÃbec city on the Gaspà coast NE of Rimouski. Stops at
0639* and nothing now on 2598-USB either. I cannot find a 2019
schedule on the Canadian Coast Guard site, just 2018:
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2018/Part2#21
which does not show anystation ending around 0640 UT; and it has never
been clear to me whether these stations stay on UT or make DST shifts!
CCG 2018 sked does show VCO Sydney NS *starting at 0740 UT via Port
Caledonia site, English only, which would now be *0640 if DST be
observed. Nor does this version:
http://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm#O%20ATL

Bill Hepburn replies already to an advance copy of the above:

``Hi Glenn, That could've just been an unscheduled broadcast with a
marine warning or an amended forecast. Unscheduled broadcasts are not
that uncommon. I've heard lots of them over the years. They also
interrupt the VHF continuous marine broadcasts.

From the RAMN: "MCTS Centres broadcast marine safety information
through continuous, scheduled and unscheduled broadcasts to provide
mariners with information such as weather bulletins, ice information,
and notices to shipping (NOTSHIP) concerning the operational status of
navigational aids and dangers to navigation."

BTW, broadcast times noted in UT remain on UT regardless of ST/DT
status. The RAMN's are now updated on an ongoing basis - so it's
always the latest issue. You can check the amendment dates on the
Amendment Register on page i. The "year" changes in April, the
official annual issue time.

My guess is that you heard Escoumins Coast Guard Radio broadcasting
from its site on Grindstone Island, QC. Regards, Bill Hepburn``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Monday April 1 at 2302, no signal from RHC for `Mesa
Redonda` TV soundtrack, which is S9+30 on only // 11950. So no ACI
this side of 5995 Mali. By 2306, 6000 has come on too. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 2 at 0625, this RHC English is off; 6060 is loud
S9+30 with music; 6100 is S9+30 but undermodulated with hum; 6165 only
S7 and u/mod. At 0629, 5040 starts `Focus on Africa` with a song from
Sierra Leone, good S9+20. So English span is now more-or-less 23-07.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 13820, April 2 at 1338, residual lite jamming on
ex-Martà frequency, while heavier jamming seems now under replacement
13605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 13735, April 2 at 1340, YL speaking, S4 with flutter. HFCC
shows nothing but VIRI in Russian, 1320-1430, 500 kW, 336 degrees from
Sirjan. One of few signals on band besides Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 5980, April 2 at 1413, RNZI is S9-S6, poor
maybe with SAH; Ron Howard reports that Shiokaze/Sea Breeze has
started using two frequencies at once, including this one for the
daily 1405-1435 Japanese broadcast, // 6090 (and the 1300-1400
including Thursday English is on 5920 // 6070). JIC continues to
demonstrate incompetence in frequency management, as NZ is not the
only collision. Will Adrian keep it there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday April 1 at 2201, REE in English, with what
else, music, in this case a blues band visiting and then Justin Coe
interviews a Jeff. So for A-18, English has shifted one UT hour
earlier to 2200-2230 M/W/F. Should also be on the other three, 12030,
11940, 11670. Come on, Justin, suppress your mÃsica-sobretodo-mania
and give us some news, even analysis of current events in Spain! Or
would that be too unsafe under circumstances? Secret REE Arabic should
now be at 2130, M-F? on 12030, 11670, unchecked yet (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830.05 approx., April 1 at 2228, VOT English to N America
for A-19, no RTTY QRM, only slightly off-frequency+plus, pending a
crash to 9830.7v one of these days. (I also must cope with a constant
local device JBA carrier slightly off 9830.000.) But something else is
already wrong: 2259 still on with IS, and 2300, 2-second-late, 6-pip
mis-timesignal and into GERMAN! still past 2305 check, just like
sloppyrators at Emiler would do in B-season after 0000 on 5960.
Fortunately now there are no legitimate broadcasters to collide on
9830 after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 2 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG; also at 0100 on 7780,
S9/+10, F-G. Next:

begun 4 days late; stations please replay latest available edition
if necessary]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Monday April 1 at 2140, Radio Free Grenada ID for
15105 kHz! It`s featured on `La Rosa de Tokio` this week via WRMI;
later discusses Radio Swan. This show and `Historias de Radio` provide
a *lot* of historical SW info with clips (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, April 2 at 0622, S9+40/50 of dead air, obviously WWCR
transmitter normally off at this time; equivalent level to 5935 with
DGS modulation. What of the other two? 4840 at 0630 is also dead air
of S9+30, instead of Alex Jones? (who has admitted he is psychotic) -
-- no, scheduled InfoWars until 0600, then TOMBS here too; 3215 at
0633 is S9+20 with double-audio! at about equal level: TOMBS and
something mentioning 1-800-VENUSLIVE (?). Both are on both LSB and
USB; the least WWCR could do would be to separate them sidebandedly.
Own WWCR program sked dated April 1 shows 3215 is supposed to be OFF
the air at 05-09! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4810, April 2 at 0630, steady weak carrier here, vs
utehash on plus side. Aoki thinx R. Logos, Perà runs 0900-2400 only;
EiBi B-18 shows 1000-1300 & 2300-0226. WRTH 2019 is noncommittal as to
hours. Could also be a ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5800, April 2 at 0623, OM solo song, VP S4-S5, need LSB
to avoid ute QRM plus. No legit broadcasters scheduled here except:
Guess what ---- now registered in Jeff`s A-19 HFCC is WRMI available
24 hours on 5800 via 181 degree Cuban antenna; but surely not this
now, far too weak. Nor is it a Cuban spur as one must always consider.

Checking full HFCC, 5800 and 11580 24h are the only RMI listings not
(yet?) in use, but most current frequencies are registered beyond
their axual hours.

However, Free Radio Service Holland publicized activity as of March 31
on 5800 i.a., but not mentioned at this specific time. Here`s what
FRSH says:
http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/129-frs-holland-on-air-on-sunday-march-31st-2019.html
So it could well be some other Europirate now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Note: there are still no April Fool items in this report, etc., etc., etc.

Logs
** ANGOLA. 4949.732, April 1 at 0132, JBA carrier, presumed RNA on
signature off-frequency - checked just as I am mentioning on 9395
during WOR that Ron Howard had found them missing. Also an even weaker
carrier close to 4950.0, likely AIR Srinagar, Kashmir --- neither in
HFCC but in Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 328 kHz, April 1 at 0617, dash and YTL from NDB beacon at
Big Trout Lake, Ont., 1000 watts. Really remote, fly-in only in NW
Ont., beyond Pickle Lake, almost 90 west, 54 north. 2031 km = 1262
miles from here. Also got three de USA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 7355, April 1 at 0042, wall-of-noise jamming
against no MartÃ, which seems jamfree on 7335 // 7365. Way to go,
incompetent DCJC on first day of new season! HFCC A-19 registrations
for IBB in Spanish from Greenville-B, which mean precisely nothing but
RM:
23-03 7365 00-07 7335 00-12 6030 03-05 7435 05-07 7365 07-10 5980

14-24 11930 20-24 9565
We sincerely hope this non-classified info assist DCJC to jam correct
frequencies and no others! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0049, RHC English is instead S9+20 of dead
air; while 6000 has undermodulated music at S9+10/20. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, April 1 at 0100, RHC news theme for Spanish is S9 but
JBM, much softer than 11700, 11760, 11840 and its 11830/11850 spurs.
Spain is now scheduled on 11670 until 2300 so will those ever collide?
Not sure when RHC start, where something always be wrong (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0544, RHC English survey during music: this
one is S9-S6 and JBM; 6100 S9+10 suptorted; 6060 S9+20 slightly
distorted and Algerian Qur`anRM is gone! 6000 S9/+10 JBM and
distorted; 5040 S9+30 about like 6060.

Rechecking at 0606+, 6165 JBM; 6100 undermod; 6000 OFF; 6060 & 5040
both with CCI --- no it`s not, rather undercurrent during voice-over
translation, self-QRM! When will SW stations ever learn to fade the VO
down completely once briefly established?? Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4764.999, April 1 at 0327, R. Progreso VG signal measured
here with margin of error of 2 Hz at most. And it matches 5025 BFO
pitch. Anker Petersen, Denmark has been reporting this as 4765.02,
such as March 24 at 0330, but I have never noticed them that far off
in BFO 1-kHz-step bandscans. Some of his other logs such as Eritrea
and Mali appear to be measured +.01 or +.02 too high. Please check
receiver calibration vs WWV or the like (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA. 7180.024, April 1 at 0325, JBA carrier, presumed VOBME,
but nothing on other channel 7140+; nor still inactive Somaliland 7120
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. 12005, April 1 at 1418, SW Asian music S7-S8, from
Radio Farda, eastward from Woofferton at 13-18 (also Lampertheim at
11-13) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 9625, April 1 at 1420, Japanese lesson for English
with arpeggios, as NHK 1400-1430 is now here, due west from PALAU.
Ignore all the South Africa listings on 9625 still in HFCC A-18 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995.000V, April 1 at 0550, R. Mali is already on with song
of lament in French, S9 and best heard yet. 0556 apparent switch to IS
repeating; 0557 military-band NA, sign-on in French I copy partially
vs distraxions, including ``Ici l`Office de Radiodiffusion TÃlÃvision
du Mali, ÃmÃttant de Bamako,`` and decades-outdated frequency list
including 4783 and another on 60m! And 92 MHz FM (four-score and
twelve). With BFO, frequency wavers very slightly. By 0602 is in non-
French, probably Bambara. Anker Petersen, Denmark, has reported this
on 5995.02, such as March 25 at 2120, but again I think his
measurement is way off. Please calibrate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5980, April 1 at 1416, RNZI is poor S5-S7 on new
frequency, bad for us. Maybe usable somewhat from *1259 if the Cuban
jammers be turned off in time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6889-USB, March 31 at 2227, folk/rock song at S3-S4,
not rechecked until 0038 April 1 when it`s off. Already at 2232* per
several logs of this pirate as Evergreen Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52472.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7420, April 1 at 0043, Balkan music, good S9+20; at first
imagined Greece ex-9420 or mistake? EPT is usually silent early UT
Mondays; in fact this is the RRI Romanian service now, as spoken at
0054 and // 9790.

7375, April 1 at 0044, RRI English now here giving schedule during a
mailbag, much stronger than // 6040 at 0048 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also SAO TOME 6080

** SAO TOME [and non]. 6080+, April 1 at 0548, VOA news magazine in
English, S9+20 but with fast SAH CCI. We already know Pinheira is the
one off-frequency, but now the collider is RRI in English, 300 kW to W
Europe and USWard at 0530-0600, also French 0500-0530, while VOA runs
04-07. How is this acceptable to HFCC?? Surprised RRI be the
understation, but that may change with conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, March 31 at 2225, VOT in English, S8-S9 with flutter,
back on always-A-season frequency to North America at 22 instead of
5960 at 23 in Bs. No RTTY now, but 9830 fully occupied earlier in day:
we can only hope it will always quit by 2158. Will Emirler knock this
one off to 9830.7 at times too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U K. 7300, April 1 at 0040, sounds like BBCWS in science magazine,
now about LEO satellites, S9/+10. 0058 wrap up `Science in Axion`,
0059.5* chop off. HFCC shows Woofferton eastward this hour only.
Offers a decent chance to hear in its long-abandoned N American target
area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 245 kHz, April 1 at 0612 UT, ND beacon FS is JBA! Is at
Rock, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 400 watts per dxinfocentre. LW storm
noise level is unusually low so I take advantage for some sleepytime
beepery.

293 kHz, April 1 at 0615 UT, ND beacon FBY, which is 25 watts from
Fairbury, Nebraska.

329 kHz, April 1 at 0618, ND beacon PMV, 25 watts from Plattsmouth,
Nebraska (a flood area, I think). Also logged one from CANADA, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on
7265 CUSB, March 31
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on.html
1031-1100 on 7265 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sun, weak``

Confirmed Sunday March 31 at 2130 on WRMI 7780, poor S5-S7.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+20 (and
still not on 5950).

Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 after 0230 on WRMI 7780, fair S9/+10.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 from 0301 on Area 51 webcast; and at
0323 on WBCQ 5130.41, VP and not // 3264.9.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 1 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA. Next:

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.15v, UT Mon April 1 at 0045, sacred choral music, S9+10
on `Encore` from Radio Tumbril via WBCQ. Brice Avery in Edinburgh is
disappointed in lack of listener response to his new WBCQ broadcasts,
in the form of QSL requests. Lack of any listing on the outdated WBCQ
program schedule, nor any publicity on its website, surely do not
help. Still showing for UT Mon 00-01 on 7490 is `Shoot the Darn
Messenger`. He welcomes music requests and has had much better
response to broadcasts via Channel 292 in Germany. Let`s show him some
support! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Area 51 webcast flowed on, UT Mon Apr 1 at 0400 after HRI
and WBCQ 5130v presumably closed down --- with `Church of the
Subgenius Hour of Slack`, reveling in how many F-bombs could be
exploded on internet only. I had thought that show was a bit more
erudite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, April 1 at 0050, WWRB reactivated on A-frequency with
politico-gospel huxters at S9+40. Likely the only frequency in use, no
more 3185 or 3215; unless some Ugandans give it another try (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 1 at 0541, WRNO is S5-S9 of dead air; in
Chinese or English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be in
late April. Best wishes and 73 (Alan Roe, March 30, DXLD)

** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 31 at 1401, Radio Martà is S9+20
unjammed, having just made the totally predictable A-season switch
from 13820, where the wall of noise remains. Something`s always wrong
at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, March 31 at 1425, China Plus relay in English on NF
for A-19, ex-15700; S9+20 and somewhat undermodulated as required.
Earlier, Wolfgang Bueschel had accumulated the A-19 sked for these
relays, via QuivicÃn site:

0000-0100 5990 QVC 250 ND NAM Spanish
0000-0100 9810 QVC 250 160 SAM Spanish
0100-0200 9580 QVC 250 10 NAM English
0200-0300 9580 QVC 250 10 NAM Chinese
0300-0400 9790 QVC 250 305 WNAM English

1200-1300 9570 QVC 250 10 NAM Cantonese
1300-1400 9570 QVC 250 10 NAM English

2300-2400 5990 QVC 250 ND NAM English
2300-2400 13650 QVC 250 135 SAM Portuguese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9630, March 31 at 0553, RNZI with C&W music on NF for
A-19, S9+10, the SSOB by fair, virtually the OSOB, and ex-25m is
essentially dead. No het, as R. Aparecida, Brasil, has been missing
from 9630.5v lately, but it`ll be a hetmess should it resume! A bad
pick for RNZI, now sked daily 0459-0658; then 5945, and from 1259 on
5980 as yet unchecked here. RNZ National program times within will
shift one UT hour later on April 7 when NZ go off wacky DST of UT +13.
At least that match DST offdate in Australiaparts now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 31 at 0610 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` is dead air; by
next check at 1400 UT has added a big hum, but still no programod
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185-AM, March 30 at 1731 on caradio, loop of ``Happy
Birthday to You`` by amateur pianist, occasionally interrupted, but
still/again going at 1930. Our local Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7320-7325-7330, March 30 at 0551, DRM noise at S5, now RRI
as scheduled 0530-0600 in English, plus 0600-0630 German. (WINB is
also registered for same DRM frequency span at 07-09 M-F, 07-10
Sat/Sun) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA [non]. 7285-LSB, March 31 at 0441, VA5AA calling CQ
contest, before Radio Sonder Grense would be on here anyway, but still
no RSG at 0550, RSA SW gone for good. Others noted its finale on 3320
a few hours earlier. So NAmhams get a frequency back. QRZ.com shows
VA5AA is: Mason John Hnatiw in REGINA, SK S4V 1V2 Canada --- that`s
Witanh spelt backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515, March 31 at 0306, VOT English to N America at S9-S7.
I had no luck for the earlier broadcast March 30 at 22 or 23 on 9830
or 5960, so this is my first A-19 QSY confirmation. Surely this will
sidekick to 9515.7 at times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15180, March 31 at 1430, YL in SW/C Asian service? at
S2-S4 but one of few signals on band. HFCC A-19 shows it`s IBB in
Uzbek this hour, 300 kW, 80 degrees from Woofferton UK, i.e. Radio
Liberty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: Manuel MÃndez, Spain,
reports: ``6190, Hamburger LokalRadio, Goehren, *0700-0800, 30-03,
English, ID âHamburger LokalRadioâ, programs âMedia Network Plus and
âWorld of Radioâ. 25322``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio

0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, from April 8``

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: not confirmed,
Saturday March 30 at 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB; monitoring via UTwente,
inaudible, altho earlier circa 1520 I thought I heard a trace of Keith
Perron during MN+.

Confirmed Sat Mar 30 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, poor S4-S5; also confirmed
UT Sun Mar 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good. Also confirmed UT Sun
Mar 31 at 0318 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, S9+20, about 3 minutes in so
started close to nominal 0315 this week. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4774.975, March 31 after 0600, romantic? song at S7 vs
double-CODAR swooshes. I seldom pull any modulation here. First
thought is Brasil or Perà which insist on colliding with each other;
but if you believe Aoki sked, neither would be on between 04 & 07.
Instead, TWR English is on 4775 until 0700 --- but Manzini sunrise was
already at 0403 today, surely too late for them. So I refine the
frequency (and maybe there is a second carrier almost the same), which
points to S America. I found one report of TWR only 8 Hz low, while
here`s a typical comparison of Brasil and Perà by Carlos GonÃalves
from June 2016y: ``PERU 4774.946 R. Tarma, Tarma, 2232-2240, 02/6,
canÃÃes Ãndias; 34433, QRM do Brasil [Congonhas] em 4774.914`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 30 at 1606 check, the extremely distorted
spurblob is finally gone, no QRM to SPAIN. I had been hearing it at
various times every day March 26-27-28-29. We may never know what it
was (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
