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:

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.

** 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 &

** 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,

** BRAZIL. 9671.3 & 9657.4, 0553 April 7, approx. spots where
intermittent spur carriers with same talk modulation are spewing out
of 9664.53, Voz MissionÃria, among others. These compute to plus 6.77
and minus 7.13 kHz from fundamental. First time noted any such
problems from ZYE890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.7, Apr 6 at 2152, R. Aparecida S5-S7 and improving
gradually, but still too weak by 2221 to comprehend `Encontro DX`
scheduled at 2200 Sat including DX news from CÃlio Romais (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 6 at 0523, RHC English is S9+10 but just barely
modulated, like 6165; 6060 is VG S9+20, 6100 is S9+20/30 but
undermodulated; 5040 S9+30 with sufficient mod. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, April 6 at 0529, R. Rebelde modulation is cutting off
and on; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 7 at 0006, RHC attempt at an additional hour of
English fails as no signal here yet, while 6000 is S9+10 but suptorted
rating VP. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13728.296, April 7 at 1329, RHC very weak spur but with some
modulation // source 13700, and a matching one on the minus side,
unmeasured. I have continued hearing these any morning but not
relogged until now for the record. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13740, April 7 at 1331, RHC surprised here ex-13780, S9+10/20
always somewhat weaker than // 13700, S9+20/30. 13740 off by 1409
recheck. Accident or deliberate QSY? May or may not be wrong. Wonder
if this like 13780 will also occasionally get knocked off, to about
13739.25? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, April 7 at 1335, S5-S8 with flutter in
English, sounds like CRI, and yes, seems same as on 9570 via CUBA but
far out of synch. Still but poorer at 1406. HFCC shows ubiquitous 500
kW, 308 degrees toward W Europe from Urumqi site, English at 12-15.
OOFSOB = one of few signals on band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5980, April 6 at 1342, RNZI choral music at S9 so
today has switched from 5945 unlike yesterday after 1300.

Meanwhile I sent my earlier A-19 obs to Adrian Sainsbury, who replied:

``Hi Glenn, Thank you for the feedback. There is no change planned at
present. I am visiting Samoa and Tokelau Islands for the next 2 weeks.
It will give me the opportunity to do some monitoring and help decide
if any change is required for our target area. Re 5980 the 6 MHz band
is crowded and it is difficult finding a clear channel for the long
periods we require. Replacing 9630 will be an easier to achieve.

9630, April 7 at 0550, RNZI VG about eels, no Aparecida het tonight.

** NORTH AMERICA. 6960.02-USB, April 7 at 0007, DJ glad we are
listening and playing soft rock, S6-S8 vs storm noise; 0011 ``This is
W-T-F Worldwide``, mentions music of ``golden years``; 0015 ``W-T-F
Radio Worldwide`` past 0019. He utters the WTF abbr., rather than
``what`s the frequency`` or something else. Many more reports covering

** NORTH AMERICA. UNIDENTIFIED: 6990v-LSB, April 7 at 0202, the weird
guy uttering Japanese-sounding syllables, interspersed with long
``aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhs`` is back! Such as kawata, koto, ishinata.
During one aaahhh the tone shifts as he is tuning down to about
6989.92. Also some long pauses past 0209, then stops. My last log of
him was Jan 14 at 0552 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 102.3-WBFM, April 6 circa 1945 & 2045 UT chex on caradio,
hard rock station IDing only as ``Q102``, somewhat marginal but steady
signal. For some reason I am drawing a blank on it: WTFDA Database
says it`s KWDQ Woodward OK. Perhaps due to its isolation, this little
town has a dozen FM stations of which only 5 are translators or LP.
This and 100.1 a full 100 kW. Long gone are the days of 100.1 & 102.3
as Class A channels limited to 3 kW ERP. 2010y population 12K, in the
county only 20K. Woodward has two non-translator public radio relays,
of KGOU and KUCO, unlike 50K Enid with zero, not even translators
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 12030 & 11940 & 11670 & 9690, Sat Apr 6 at 2130, all four
REE transmitters are running and audible in Castilian, rather than
Arabic, which is evidently M-F on 12030 & 11670 only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also NIGERIA [and non]

** SWEDEN [non]. 15510, April 7 at 1808, OOFSOB, poor S4-S6 in African

IBRA Media via Woofferton UK in Fur at 1800-1830, flanked by 1730 Bej,

England reports: Hello Glenn, I'm very glad to see you active again
and I hope you're feeling much better. This is to confirm that WOR was
audible this morning April 6 from Hamburg on 6190 at fair strength.
They actually started just after 0630 UT. I could copy about 80%+ of
what was being said - you started by apologising for being away from
the radio due to illness - because of local noise problems, their 1 kW
is not sufficient to overcome this unfortunately. But none the less it
was good to hear you. Best 73 from Noel``.

That was last week`s 1975, as 1976 was not ready until 0140, too late
in the middle of the night for HLR to get it loaded for new time 0629,
understandably. Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria also reports:

Arabic, as reported by Ivo Ivanov; while WINB is scheduled until 1700
M-F, so a head-on collision is possible. I wonder what will happen
then? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11855.693, April 4 at 0535 JBA carrier, no doubt an
apparition from Aparecida back on air this overnight, and the OSOB
except for weak 11520 WEWNglish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CANADA. 341 kHz, April 4 at 0549 UT, dash and YYU ND beacon, 500
watts from Kapuskasing, Ontario, one neat name. Town website says,
``Did you know? Kapuskasing means "Bend in the river" in Cree``. Also
logged a USA station on same frequency, different pitch, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 4 at 0520, RHC is S9+20 of dead air in English;
6060 is S9+20/30 good modulation of music in Spanish; 6100 S9+20/30,
undermodulated but sufficient to hear; 6165 S9+10 undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, April 4 at 1858, S9+10 open carrier from RHC about to
start algo at 1900? Nothing known before 1930 French to Europe. Is
this something wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, April 5 at 0534, RHC English S9+10 JBM here; 6060 S9+10
good mod; 6100 S9+20 undermodulated; 6165 S9+10 JBM; 5040 S9+20
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also suffering from local
high line noise level at S9 on this and lower bands! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, April 5 at 1402, RHC is S8-S9 but just barely
modulated; while 15140 is only S7-S8 but sufficiently modulated. But
by 1651, 15140 is suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6070, Thursday April 4 at 1348, two carriers
making fast SAH, CFRX vs Sea Breeze, JAPAN, as I can almost recognize
its earnest YL in English; as Ron Howard reports, presumably // on
5920 vs Voice of Freedom, which are VP here. At 1405 I am hearing CFRX
only on 6070-minus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9630, April 4 at 0516, RNZI is much weaker
than usual, in fact about equal to the het from 9630.48 R. Aparecida,
Brasil. Due to local storms I am on the internal longwire, but don`t
think that should make much relative difference --- if anything,
Brasil should be weaker on it.

9630, April 5 at 0532, RNZI back up to S9+10 tonight, way atop the
still audible Aparecida het to the plus side.

5945, April 5 at 1330, RNZI still on here with music instead of 5980
after 1259, then 1332 YL about Solar System; S9+10 including local HNL
of S9, still detectable past 1400. Perhaps coping with the JSR clash
on 5980? But websked still shows 5980 from 1259 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 4635, April 5 at 0137, notorious buzzer is barely audible;
seems not evenly spaced, occasionally a double-buzz, adding up to
approx. 64 times per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 9690, April 4 at 1853, REE is poor S4-S8 but
alone. Have not heard the tell-tale het from Nigeria-minus lately. Ivo
Ivanov says the other collision on 9690 with MWV Russian at 19-20 has
been resolved by its last-minute change to 9845 (where I get a JBA
carrier at best) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, April 4 at 1320, no signal from VOT English to
Europe and USward from 1230 in A-19, nor have I been able to detect it
yet past few days; pitiful propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 341 kHz, April 4 at 0549 UT, as I am copying ND beacon YYU
from Kapuskasing, CANADA, another one on same frequency at higher
pitch, much weaker is OIN, 25 watts from relatively close Oberlin,
Kansas, new here. Wait a minute, what about my local on 341, Enid`s
own EI ---? Must be off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 3 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S8-S9; and 4 seconds later on
WBCQ 7490.15v, S3-S5.

Missed checking UT Thu April 4 at 0000 on WRMI 7730 while I was at a
planetarium show by Northern Oklahoma College; confirmed at 0125 UT
Thu April 4 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair-poor.

** U S A. 17774.990, April 4 at 1408, absolutely no signal from KVOH
if it opened at 1400, or totally not propagating, as usually inaudible
before noon here. By 1852 it`s S7-S8 poor in music, but the OSOB!
Built up to S9 of Spanish praise music by 1952 when I measure it: old
transmitter was put on 17774.989, so I suspect this is still it,
unless they have managed to tune replacement to the same offset? How
about that, Ray Robinson? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
