Hauser
** CUBA. 7380, April 10 at 2200, new frequency for African service,
RHC opening in French, S9/+20. 2250 check still in Kriyol instead of
Portuguese from 2230; 2310 check in English, so that`s now at 23-24 on
7380 // 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, April 10 at 1926, RHC OC prior to 1930 broadcast, but
with spurious hash peaks approx. plus/minus 3 kHz, even with no
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, April 11 at 0321, NO signal from R. Progreso, just some
CODAR swishing. Richard Langley, NB, agrees, who first noted RP absent
the night before during its entire 0030-0400 span. 5025 Rebelde is
still on and nominal. What`s with RP? Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.239, April 11 at 1327, RHC way off-frequency from
13740. As soon as I found new 13740 ex-13780 on April 7, I figured
same transmitter would eventually also get knocked off-frequency about
0.76 kHz below, and now it has been! Last measured March 25 on
13779.24. Considerably weaker than // 13700. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, April 11 at 1411, RHC is S9+10 but just barely
modulated; // 15140 better but still undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 9435 // 11710, April 11 at 1317, VOK with
insufferable propaganda in stilted English accompanied by self-jamming
noise bleeding from adjacent transmitters. Almost identical signals,
S9+10 and S9 respectively. Have not heard these in some time, and
suspect one or both transmitters have been down; 13-14 is the prime
broadcast for North America, with a repeat on same at 15-16.

At least NK has the right idea about scheduling, while SK`s KBS World
Radio`s so-called N American service in English also at 13-14 UT
remains on 15575, inaudible almost yearound. At 1321 check I can
almost imagine a JBA carrier on 15575! If KBS put the same transmitter
on a clear 9 or 11 MHz frequency, it could be heard. In fact, 13-14
English is on // 9570, but 205 degrees and totally blocked here by
Habana relaying China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, April 10 at 1933 UT, searching for some rare music
on the AM band, ``1600, The Cush, and 1600kush.com``, i.e. KUSH in oil
terminal Cushing OK, east of Stillwater. Cush is pronounced like in
cushion; then C&W or nostalgia, or ``Americana``.

[and non] This reminds me to enumerate the few stations around here on
daytime/groundwave listenable primarily with music, not including
foreign language, gospel huxters: 780 KSPI, 860 KKOW, 900 KSGL (split
with gospel huxters mornings), 1070v KFTI, 1280 KSOK, 1600 KUSH.
Everything else is talk or sportstalk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Apr 10 at 2201, REE thrice-weekly English already
amid interview with an author instead of a musician! About Nazi
concentration camps; OK, Justin, but how about some material
explicitly about SPAIN??? Even news? Interviewing some foreigner you
can catch visiting Madrid is a cop-out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** THAILAND. 9390, April 11 at 1316, English announcement introducing
Mandarin, S8-S4 with flutter. R. Thailand is back here for all
languages 1200-1430, beam changes between each from Udorn, including
the two English aimed 132 degrees at 1230-1300 & 1400-1430. Too bad
the English is not on 30 degrees USward like Mandarin now.

Other HSK9 English: 0000-0100 & 0200-0230 15590 to North America but
inaudible here until maybe midsummer?; 0530-0600 17640; 1900-2000 &
2030-2045 9920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 10 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English to North
America, no RTTY either. Still nothing at 2209, but did not get around
to checking later in hour whether it ever came up. TRT'de her zaman
yanlÄÅ olan bir Åeyler var.

In A-19 schedule, following frequencies are on earlier, probably one
of them prolonged, failing to QSY to 9830:
9460, 1600-2100 Turkish (someone already noted it on past 2100)
9620, 2030-2130 English
9635, 1930-2030 French
11615, 1930-2030 French
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Wednesday April 10 at 2100 on WRMI 9955 --- off the air past 2108+, as
I sometimes have to remark ``such are the risks of being the first
program in a transmission block`` (meanwhile 9395 WRMI is OK with RAE
Italian). However, WOR confirmed on WRMI webcast, and by recheck 2127,
9955 is on at S9-S6. Simultaneous 7490.17v WBCQ with WOR from 2100 is
JBA even with ECSS at 2105, a situation which is only going to worsen
as summer oncomes; also confirmed on webcast.

NOT confirmed, UT Thursday April 11 at 0000 on WRMI 7730, replaced by
Bible reading in Spanish. This is the fourth former WOR airing on WRMI
which has been canceled in the past 3 days! Quite a shakeup.

Whew, still confirmed UT Thursday April 11 at 0100 on WRMI 7780,
S9/S9+10. Next:
0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 [new; or 1977?]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 11 at 0601, NO signal again tonight from WRNO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15115-15120-15125, April 11 at 1412, cannot detect any
hybrid DRM from WINB; by 1431 now I can hear some weak tones on the
lower half, while any DRM noise on the upper half is indistinguishable
from band noise level. Maybe this works better toward Europe? 19m
propagation to here is pitiful except from Cuba. Presumably during
Unique Radio, Australia, program as now scheduled Wed/Thu/Fri 14-15
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hauser
** CUBA. 9720, April 9 at 2112, NO signal from RHC, despite new sked
dated April 7 via Wolfgang Bueschel claiming English to Africa is now
here at 21-22. I quickly scan the 9, 11, 13 and even 15 MHz bands for
a replacement, including last year`s frequency 11880 --- zilch. I do
the same during the following two hours when 9720 continues absent, at
2245 and 2314, the latter when English continues on 5040.

I could not imagine RHC would be using 7 MHz band for this, so
unchecked, but Dave Kenny, UK found 7380! as new English-to-Africa
frequency, at 23-24, preceded 22-23 by French and Kriyol (instead of
Portuguese). Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11980, April 9 at 2315, CRI English relay at S9/S9+10. This
could easily be taken as a fundamental, but it`s really second
harmonic of 5990 which is only slightly stronger, S9+10/20; and
axually sounds better on 11980. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINIG DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, UT Wed April 10 at 0033-0043, RHC English is S9+10/20
but just barely modulated, while // 6165 is undermodulated but
sufficient, during `DXers Unlimited` which Arnie introduces as the
``weekend edition``, so wrong show played? Some ham topic I zone out
from his mumbled presentation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, April 10 at 0101 I happen to catch tail of Spanish
frequency announcement claiming 5040 start at 0200 --- but here we
are! And 11760 to stop at 0300. Also plugs now 4 FM frequencies 24h
covering fraxions of Cuba. But all in Spanish? No, English also claims
to be on them, but what is the breakdown also with other languages?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9630, April 10 at 0612, RNZI is VG, but ~0.5
kHz het also audible from high side, i.e. R. Aparecida, Brasil (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 5980, April 10 at 1433, two VP signals a few
Hz apart beating, i.e. RNZI vs Shiokaze. The latter seems to go off
about 1435 as scheduled, but RNZI signal is still unstable, Doppler
fading? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 11680, April 9 at 1804, VP S4-S6 news in French; 1820 think I
hear RFI mentioned, but it`s really BBCWS per HFCC, 1800-1830, 300 kW,
152 degrees from Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: NOT confirmed Tuesday April
9 at 2055 the 2030 on WRMI 7780, which had been reliable for many
months; instead, sounds like synthetic Bible readings, but not //
TOMBS 9330v etc. WRMI websked still shows WOR, so a mistake or
permanent change?

WOR also NOT confirmed Wednesday April 10 at 1030 on WRMI 5950, as I
happen to awaken; instead: SMTV! See WRMI item below for expanded SMTV
sked. Next WORs unless further WRMI changes:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
0000 UT Thursday WRMI 7730
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780
0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 [new; or 1977?]

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

** U S A. 4980, April 10 at 0058, WRMI with Supreme Master TV, 0059.5
Zanotti ID and off, extended an hour. Also more SMTV April 10 at 1033
instead of WORLD OF RADIO on Wednesday. The WRMI frequency grid
websked has now been updated as of April 7 for 24 hours of SMTV, one
frequency at a time, presumably 7 dpw, thus blowing away that WOR and
all other programming in these blox, mainly Systems D and F:

01-03 5950, 03-04 9395, 04-08 5950, 08-10 9395, 10-11 5950,
11-14 7570, 14-20 15770, 20-21 9395, 21-01 4980.

But the program skedgrids below that have not been updated to
correspond! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5010, UT Wed April 10 at 0100, WRMI in English with Bible
readings; frequency grid shows extension 0100-0130 Tue-Sat on System
H, but the System H program grid does not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1719 UT April 10

Hauser
Note: previous report should have been subjected as April 7-8! Not 8-9,
At least the dates within it were correct - sigh

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.960, April 9 at 1401-1404+, JJBBA carrier, no
doubt LRA36 on again since it`s Tuesday, but slightly lower than
measured last week. Manuel MÃndez, Spain, meanwhile got a reply from
RNASG March 30 that they do operate Tue & Thu at 1230-1400, but are
looking into adding an evening broadcast. With staff names:

``SeÃor Director de la Emisora Gustavo Ernesto QUIROGA
Encargado de la Emisora Josà RamÃn CALPANCHAY (Operador TÃcnico)
Locutoras:
Sabrina ALANIS
Beatriz COSTILLA
Karina MUÃOZ

Last Tuesday April 2 they did stay on until 2059* mostly music as
monitored by Bruce Churchill via the remote in Brasil.

Wolfgang Bueschel replies today April 9: ``Nothing visible on SDR's in
Perseus server net, but noted KiwiSDR net on Brazil Rio de Janeiro
island, off coast SDR installation. S=3 or -113dBm music program at
1540 UT at April 9, AGC off, manual gain 97dB. 73 wb df5sx``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11850, April 8 at 2302, RHC Spanish again on new frequency,
and this time at S9+10/20 on fundamental, I can also detect the -10
kHz JBA spur on 11840. So the spur and fundamental have swapped
places. Jamming still running on 11860 but one or two carriers
underneath, no doubt the matching spur plus 10 from 11850. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, April 9 at 0607, another hour of RHC English is still
running here and on the rest of The Cuban Five: 6165, 6100, 6060 all
sufficient, except 6000 JBA, much softer than 5995 Mali. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 9 at 1314, RHC is VP and JBM, still ex-6150 but
no 2x audible on 12000, and // 9640 which Wolfgang Bueschel found
missing earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9465, April 9 at 1325, S4-S6 pop song stands out
from other E Asian programming; Aoki shows it`s Nippon no Kaze in
Korean via Paochung, TAIWAN at 1300-1330; followed immediately by FEBC
Bocaue in Yue, when I do have a much weaker signal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. April 9 at 1420 UT, regional tropo DTV DX is
up; Hepburn map for 1500 UT shows Enid on the northern edge of level-1
enhancement, surrounding levels 2 and 3 in S Central OK. Most open UHF
and a few hi-VHF channels show BAD signals, but only one is decoding
solidly, from OKC:

RF 21, KUOT is the PSIP ID on all six of its subs, some with corner
bugs, some without or illegible. I later compare to rabbitears.info:

21-1, bug upper right Y in a circle and below that ctvn.org for
Cornerstone TV
21-2, no bug but r-e listed as IBN TV; what`s that?
21-3, 3ABN LR
21-4, AFTV, not 3ABN Latino as in r-e (AmFacts - Amazing Facts)
21-5, HopeChannel, UR below a logo - NO audio!! r-e says 3ABN Proclaim
21-6, unID; r-e has only 1 thru 5!

Rabbitears says this is really KUOT-CD, 15 kW ERP at 591 feet above
ground level; slightly direxional favoring NW. Digital channel 21,
display channel 19 --- no the display channel is also 21 now.

This holds up solid on both my broken rooftop antennas, over an hour
until about 1535 UT fade below threshold. Some of the channels are
same as on my local 3ABN translator K17JN-D which *still* is emitting
subs 1, 3, and 5 only, as per PSIPs except 17-1 only with callsign:
17-1, 3ABN bug LR
17-3, AmFacts and bug LR
17-5, Hope201 and HopeChannel bug UR

At 1601-1604 UT another bandscan finds Wichitans in from the north,
decoding or semi-decoding into my SSE/SE-facing antennas:

RF 45, KSNW DT 3-1 --- still not repacked to 15 where will collide
with KTBO OKC; also with: 3-2 Telemun[do]; 3-3 Ion; 3-4 Justice
RF 35, MyTV 36-1, i.e. KMTW Hutchinson
RF 31, KDCU-DT 31-1, Univision; too weak to explore -2, -3, -4
RF 26, FOX 24-1 [obviously KSAS --- and OKC`s Fox on RF 24, 25-1 KOKH,
also PSIP IDs only as FOX!]
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Dead air from TOMBS: see USA: WRMI, WWCR

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: just after
dispatching my last report, checking via UTWente SDR for WOR via IRRS
via ROMANIA, scheduled for 1800 (ex-1900) UT Mondays on 7290:

From 1758 UT Monday April 8, I am instead hearing Chinese music, 1800
timesignal, CNR1 theme. NO IRRS --- HFCC now has CNR Beijing scheduled
until 1805, and it does go off and/or is replaced by a strong tone,
presumably IRRS getting ready and then open carrier. Soon I find this
timely notice from IRRS:

``Hi Glenn, Due to a last minute schedule change, we are starting 15
min later on 7290 kHz (1815-1915 UT daily, Summer), so your program
goes on air at 1815 UT (20:15 CEST) on Monday. 73, Alfredo Cotroneo``

So that avoids the CNR overlap. But there is considerable splash from
7280 in Spanish, 7300 in German. 7280 is Vietnam direct; 7300 is Iran
until 1820. I notify the above change to the WOR iog just in time at
1812.

WOR does start promptly at 1815, good signal. Bruce Churchill, CA,
replies: ``Nice signal from IRRS at 1822 8 April from KiwiSDR in Bay
of Islands NZ (path length nearly 10,800 miles) - SINPO 3/4,3544. At
1836 a white noise source co-channel wiped out the program, but
fortunately switching modes to USB solved that issue. Switched back to
AMN mode at 1850.5 and the noise was gone. However CRI's 500 kW 7295
xmtr coming on at 1857 forced me to switch to LSB mode - again this
eliminated the QRM. World of Radio program from tune-in to 1844,
Feature Story News (FSN) news broadcast at 1844.5, then "Shortwave
Report" at 1849.5 with extracts of news & opinion from Deutsche Welle,
Radio Habana Cuba and Russian Radio. Carrier off promptly at 1915.
Bruce``

Next scheduled WOR broadcast is 0030 UT Tuesday April 9 on WRMI 7730
--- but checked at 0041 thru 0059, VG Wavescan is playing instead!
Mistake? WS is already scheduled immediately prior at 0000, so twice
in a row, or swapped with WOR at 0000? Anybody hear it then? Websked
still shows 0030 WOR.

WOR still confirmed UT Tue Apr 9 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S9+10.
Next:

** U S A. 7730, April 8 at 2310, S9+10/20 of open carrier dead air, as
WRMI-13 is now on skedgrid starting at 2300 with TOMBS for an hour,
then System D from 0000 (see WOR monitoring); while 11 & 12, 7570 &
5850, also start BSing at 2300, where I should have checked for more
OCDA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4840, April 9 at 0604, S9+30 of dead air from WWCR-3, when
TOMBS is scheduled weekdays all the way from 06 to 12 UT. Must not be
minding the satellite uplink at Walterboro, as dead air has also been
showing on WRMI, 7730, earlier, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** BRAZIL. 9671.4 & 9657.7 approx., April 8 at 0548, RVM again tonight
putting out lots of spurious, peaking intermittently around here from
fundamental 9664.52, during gospel huxter preaching. Especially on the
plus side there is plenty of garbage in between. Displacements are
plus 6.88 and minus 6.82 kHz, averaging 6.85 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11850, April 7 at 2125, RHC Spanish surprises us on another
new frequency, revolutionary music // 11760. Apparently ex-11840 which
transmitter was always flanked by weak but readable spurs on 11830 &
11850, but this is no spur nor are there any audible 10 kHz above and
below it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 8 at 0624, RHC English is S9+20 of dead air here;
6100 S9+40 with mailbag, good modulation, as is 6060 only S9+20; 6000
also S9+20 but with some distortion. 5040 is off. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13740, April 8 at 1328, RHC here for second day ex-13780, and
off by 1400, so apparently deliberate; why? HFCC as of April 5 shows
no collision on 13780; Saudi adjacent 13775 & 13785 but not
significant; while 13740 already has Iran and Issoudun covering the
entire presumed RHC span 11-14 UT; altho neither noted here before RHC
glommed. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 8 at 1334, surprise, RHC is back here ex-6150 for
morning 49m broadcast, S7-S9 but just barely modulated. These are
happening a week after A-19 began for participating stations; what
next from Arnie? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: while I was busy finishing
1976, Mark Coady, Ontario was hearing another new airing: ``7780, USA
WRMI at 0130 with Glenn Hauser's âWorld of Radioâ - Good Apr 6 [UT
Sat] â WRMI is finally showing âWorld of Radioâ at this hour instead
of IBC Radio on their schedule spreadsheet``

WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 7 at 2130 on
WRMI 7780, poor S6-S8.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 only, S9+10/20

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, fair

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0300 on Area 51 webcast; and via
WBCQ 5130.42 at 0327 check, S9 vs high noise level

Also confirmed UT Monday April 8 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 fading to
S6. Often 9955 is JBA carrier by now. Still preceded by ``Hallelujah``
song filler which I am forced to interrupt; sorry! Next:

** U S A. 7490+, UT Monday April 8 at 0000, WBCQ starts playing
`Encore`, the new weekly classical music hour; just after I dispatch a
reminder to the WOR iog. At first I am listening on webcast for
convenience; but less than 2 minutes later, WBCQ switches to sign-off
announcement! (with classical music, anyway), and then to Town Hall
far-right network feed with commercials, and 0006 starting ``Common
Sense Show``. I confirm the same is happening on 7490, which has not
signed off.

Not checked again until 0015, now when `Encore` is back, with Brice
introducing only the second item on this week`s playlist,
https://www.tumbril.co.uk/playlists --- the Shostakovich, so may have
restarted from the beginning in the meantime. I notified the WOR iog
immediately of the problem and Brice also contacted WBCQ. I continue
to listen, after 0040 only to SW, which is S9+20 but not enough to
overcome some lightning crashes (from central TX?). Despite this, I
think I prefer hearing it on SW, which is shall we say, more
``dynamic`` than a webcast. A nice mixture of war horses and less
familiar contemporary music. Keeps playing past 0100 when the hour
should have finished, to 0113 when WBCQ makes an abrupt change to rock
music. Brice Avery says, ``I am listening on SDR in various parts of
the US and the quality is excellent`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 5800, April 8 at 0039, no signal from WRMI; checked after
John Figliozzi, Sarasota, reported: ``5800nf - USA - WRMI, Okeechobee
FL @0000 w/Xmas mx & EE ann. ID on hr. //5950. SINPO - 35433. (4/8/19
Figliozzi, FL) John Figliozzi Sarasota FL Lowe HF-150 / BoniWhip
antenna``. So WRMI must have briefly powered up on 5800. `Countdown 2
Xmas` is on 5950 // 9395 already this hour even in April. WRMI skeds
have been revised dated April 7, but still don`t show 5800, and still
contain outdated System D material including some non-existent WOR
times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, April 8 at 0532, JBA talk, got to be WTWW-1 still on
day frequency since SFAW 5830 night frequency is AWOL. Ted does it
again! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15102-USB, April 8 at 1405, very poor 2-way INTRUDERS,
sounds like Brazilians; unstable with pitch varying by modulation
level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
