** CUBA. 15140, April 20 at 1240, RHC is S9+10 of dead air, while
15230 successfully modulates. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN

** CUBA. 7380, April 20 at 2101, strong open carrier, off in less than
a minute. Must be RHC transmitter check, an hour ahead of the 22-24 UT
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13575, April 20 at 1242, soft song with guitar,
maybe in Chinese, since by 1255 it`s CRI saying ``do svidan'ya``,
about to close Russian service, 500 kW, 308 degrees for Europe this
hour only. At S9 it`s the second SSOB after Cuba back on 13740.0 today
(and 13700 not on yet) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LITENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, April 19 at 2228, rock/rap music, het
maybe local notched, past 2235, S8. More unID logs here, maybe Radio
Gaga until 2238*

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5900, April 20 at 0327, TOMBS is S9+10/20, //
not synchro with 7570 WRMI, non-BS speaking English. On this frequency
surely it`s BULGARIA, altho as of April 5-6, Ivo had reported:

SECRETLAND Brother HySTAIRical TOM is no longer

https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/brother-hystairical-overcomer-ministry.html
as of April 20 also shows all the SCB relays as inactive including 5900 between 2000 and 0300 (not 0300+).

So what is the span now? It`s always changing, going & coming.

On the contrary, current EiBi shows no BS on 5900 but rather:
5900 0300-0315 G Bible Voice Dardasha-7 A ME /BUL-s
5900 0315-0330 G Bible Voice Dardasha-7 A ME /BUL-s

** SUDAN [and non]. 7205, April 20 at 0325, R. Omdurman again fairly
audible; and also carriers from the Eritreans on 7180, 7140 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 19 at 2233, no signal from VOT English to North
America; surely would be audible if on, like 9420 Greece at S9+25!

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1978 monitoring: bandscan finds
surprise new time on WRMI 9955: Friday April 19 at 2226, S9+20, so
started at 2200, and now showing on the skedgrid. This becomes the
first US SW broadcast as long as I produce new shows in time.

Also confirmed at next-newest time, UT Saturday April 20 at 0130 on
WRMI 7780, fair with some SSB ACI

Confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1130 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10/20

Not confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1431 on HLR 9485-CUSB --- no signal
detectable via UTwente, just splash from 9490

Confirmed Saturday April 20 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S7-S8; after IS & ID

** VATICAN. 9705 > 9800 > 11630, 1957 UT April 19, JBA carriers on

a different language on each but for Africa only and totally useless
here. Ditto Saturday April 20 at 1857 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 14270-USB, April 20 at 2150-2155, simplex DX contacts,
pileups alternating with the target station, frenetic pace with heavy
French? accent. Maybe gives his own call occasionally but cannot
understand it, HB9- or HP9? His would-be contacts, all Americans,
never utter his call, just their own, a sorry breach of etiquette. One
should not have to search a DX cluster for ID, but I give up after
seeing nothing current on this frequency. Bye-bye (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Best of DX and 73, Glenn

** ARMENIA. 9300, April 19 at 1328, JBA talk. Aoki/NDXC shows the
complex schedule of TWR India, via Yerevan-Gavar site, this 1315
quarter-hour on day 6 = Friday as in the Kur language, shared with
San, Mun and Kui depending on the DOW. Full name of language per WRTH
is Kurukh, which was on 9365 in B-18. EiBi language list shows: ``KUR
Kurukh/Kurux: India-Chhatisgarh, Jharkhand, W. Bengal (2m) [kru]``.
Recently this was on 9330 by punchup mistake; not a good idea with the
Superstation imminent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.240, April 19 at 1330, RHC knocked itself off-frequency
today, as you never know whether it will stick to 13740.00. // 13700
is still accompanied by weak parasitic spurs approx. 28.3 kHz above
and below. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

A couple of listeners have objected to my frequent remark. Many of the
wrongs result from sloppyration rather than worn-out equipment. All I
can say, as on WORLD OF RADIO 1978, is that if and when RHC stops
messing up, there will no longer be any reason to utter it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN. 7205, April 19 at 0320, singing and drumming at S9, 0329
Arabic talk mentioning Sudan, 0334 instrumental music. Sudan Radio,
domestic service frequency, no doubt under new management. Beware,
that Aoki shows an overlap of Sudan starting at 0210, and PBS
Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, in Uyghur until 0257. EiBi, OTOH
shows only a 3-minute overlap, *0257- and -0300* respectively (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 17640, April 19 at 1557, BST-1 caradio lands on B-B-C-
chimes, frequency still in memory for when MWV used it in B-18. Should
have been listenable for this 1-hour of BBCWS in English via ASCENSION
to Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1978 contents: Afghanistan, Antarctica,
China, Cuba, Denmark, Finland and non, France, Indonesia, Iran,
Malaysia, Oklahoma, Oman, Romania, Solomon Islands, Sudan, Ukraine,
UK, USA; publications; digital TV and radio; and the propagation
outlook.

Completed a day earlier than before, at 0205 UT Friday April 19.
Hamburger Lokalradio will still run 1977 at 0630 Sat as they had not
aired it yet, and then 1978 for 1430 Sat & 1030 Sun.

** U S A. 9330.14v, April 19 at 1327, WBCQ still with TOMBS, not the
500 kW Superstation, which per John Carver, Allan Weiner said on
`Worldwide` last Friday night, would start testing in the coming week
on 9330 or 7490, to be announced in his Twits. QRX. No doubt it will
be on 9330.000 and not with Brother HyStairical, we can only hope.
Bring on the flat-earthers! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1060, April 19 at 0504 UT on the R75 with E-W longwire,
Mexican music, not so eclectic as to be expected from XEEP CDMX but
the SW 6185 is already off. Switching to the DX-398 for DFing at 0544
UT, now it`s WSW/ENE so that rules out XEEP and points to KIJN Farwell
TX; now I am suspecting the songs are of praise, especially with
keywords Vida, Viva, Santo and Gloria.

Trouble is, KIJN is a 10-kW direxional daytimer! But it`s well-known
as a longtime cheater running at night, In Jesus` Name -- WWJD? SS but
not religious beyond in almost same direxion is KXPL El Paso TX,
another 10 kW daytimer ND, but not such a cheater. There are other USA
SS on 1060 in NRC AM Log, none of them likely here and none religious,
in CA, NV, NC, NC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1420, April 19 at 0550 UT, super-hype voice actors (SHVA) in
Spanish with promos or ads, Mexican music, 0557 automated TC for 12,
56 = CDT. Something (else?) here in the mix is enough off-frequency to
produce a LAH. I am enjoying the perhaps temporary absence of loud
local KCRC Enid spur on 1420v, while on alternate transmitter
following power outage/surge?

Cannot copy ID at 0601 UT other than FM frequency 103.3 or 106.3.
Loops NW/SE so that rules out Mexico. No Coloradans on 1420, but the
closest likely is KBHS Hot Springs AR, more like ESE, in NRC AM Log as
U1 5000/87 watts, SS but its La Zeta FM as 105.5. Has there been a
change? Bingo! in the WTFDA FM Database:

``K292HG KBHS-1420 106.3 HOT SPRINGS AR USA 0.25 0.25 0.0 0.0 34-27-19
93-03-26 Silent //KZNG 1340. KBHS is silent`` -- silent no more.

Altho there could have been a format flip since it went to press 8+
months ago (and now sold out), NRC AM Log has only other SS on 1420 in
FL, FL, ID, none likelier here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1630, April 19 at 0605 UT, Mexican music loops NNW/SSE,
mutually nullable with KCJJ Iowa, making a medium SAH. The only such
Unitedstatesian is KRND, Fox Farm WY to the NW, confirmed by 0610 UT
with its known identity ``La Jota Mexicana`` IDs in passing.

But where is my closest 1630, KKGM Fort Worth TX? No sign of it in the
mix, off? It`s a gospel huxter in English, with a lot of music. I am
hearing such a format at 1323 UT recheck. Always helpful to tune LSB
to minimize local 1640 KZLS, especially on the way to FTW, and
oppositely to Fox Farm.

Fox Farm cannot be found on the regular Rand McNally atlas, and not
even on the 2013 large-scale version, nor in their indices! (There is a
Foxpark, SW of Laramie). Thus I am forced to seek its location online.
Fox Farm is a suburb of Cheyenne. Yet KRND address, per NRC AM Log, is
way off in Broomfield CO, between Boulder and Denver! Studio? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1752 UT April 19

Sorry about my last report appearing thrice; I sent it only once.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476-, Thu April 18 at 1336, JBA carrier on signature
minus-offset from LRA36. Apparently active only on Tue & Thu; others
reported it April 16 on extended sked, but I could not detect it then.
And I`ve yet to see any other logs of it today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13130, April 18 at 1340, CNR1 jammer is VG S9-S7 with
flutter, and 12820 weaker S6-S9 with flutter. Both of course are Sound
of Hope, Taiwan frequencies. From 1340 to 1348 I scanned the entire
ranges 6.9-9.3 and 10.9-17.5 MHz, finding only these way-out-of-
banders (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, April 18 at 0227, R. Progreso back on after missing
almost a week, presumably still 0030-0400 only; vs storm noise crashes
now here. Something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 11700, April 17 at 2348, stilted Spanish can`t
be RHC --- soon ID as RRI, but music from Cuba audible underneath: a
long-standing collision also in previous seasons, Commies vs ex-
Commies! Cuba // 11760 much stronger in the clear. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. RRI // is 11800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SWEDEN [non]. 15510, April 18 at 1758, S4-S6 open carrier, or is it
JBM? 1800 definitely some music and shortly talk in unID language,
OOFSOB. Aoki/NDXC shows 1730-1900 IBRA Radio Sama via Woofferton UK,
the 1800-1830 segment in Fur, as in Darfur. Also logged same April 7
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15470v, April 18 at 1336, heavy flutter and terrible
het, since IBB in Bod/Tibetan is scheduled until 1400 via TAJIKISTAN,
and of course heavily jammed. Similar but weaker signals on 15275
which is scheduled for exactly the same thing. More CNR1 jamming on
15165, which is VOA Mandarin via Thailand. The only legit ChiCom
signal on 19m is 15590, CRI English via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, fair
with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1977 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 17 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S9+10. This week transmitter
on by *2055 with IS & ID loop, but WOR opening upcut by a few words.
Also confirmed about 3 seconds later on WBCQ 7490.18v, VP S5.

Not confirmed, UT Thursday April 18 at 0000 on WRMI 7730 --- it`s no
accident as Alameda Bible Fellowship Bible readings in fake-voice
Spanish have been inserted here.

Confirmed UT Thu Apr 18 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair but heavy storm
noise crashes nearby. Next:

0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [or 1978?]
0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 [or 1978?]

[it appears we will now be running on a Saturday-to-Friday
cycle, so freshest new airings are on weekends --- or even Friday-to-
Thursday as this week I am attempting to finish 1978 by early UT
Friday]

** VATICAN [and non]. 17530, April 18 at 1333, JBA carrier which must
be VOA Somali via SMG this hour only, violating Separation of Church &
State. The only other JBA carriers on 16m are 17615-minus, 17705 and
17895, obviously the SRI/SBA Riyadh trio with two different Arabic
programs, as often the only signals capable of making it, even so
marginally tho 500 kW each (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
