73, Glenn Hauser

** 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.
Regards, Adrian Sainsbury | RNZI Frequency Manager, RNZ | Level 2, 155
The Terrace | PO Box 123 | Wellington | New Zealand``

9630, April 7 at 0550, RNZI VG about eels, no Aparecida het tonight.
All RNZ National programs should now be appearing one UT hour later as
NZ is back on standard time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 9689.9+, April 6 at 1900, REE SPAIN 9690 with
deportes again vs that tell-tale het on the low side as Voice of
Nigeria is still colliding with its LAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** 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
0008-0050+:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52688.0.html
No one else mentions SSB music sounding best when tuned 20 Hz high
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** 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
language, French influence? HFCC and Aoki show it`s Radio Sama, via
IBRA Media via Woofferton UK in Fur at 1800-1830, flanked by 1730 Bej,
and 1830-1900 Ara languages. Fur? EiBi readme.txt says spoken by 0.5
mega in Darfur. WRTH had B-18 frequency as 9635 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, April 7 at 1320, JBA carrier presumed from VOT
English starting at 1230 but not propagating beyond Europe? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: Noel Green,
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:

``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, April 6
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_6.html
0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, good signal``

WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: Next HLR airing should have been Sat
Apr 6 at 1431 on 9485-CUSB, but inaudible via UTwente SDR, and no
other reports received about it.

Confirmed Sat Apr 6 after 2100 on WRMI 9955, S4-S7.

Also confirmed UT Sun Apr 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG

Also confirmed UT Sun Apr 7 at 0344 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, S9+10
including storm noise, about 15 minutes into, so started circa 0329

Ivo Ivanov reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5800, April 6 at 0522, JBA carrier, presumably still WRMI
with low-power tests. However some later chex have not detected it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6970-AM, April 7 at 0546, JBA carrier, maybe a pirate or
mixing product (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report despatched at 1824 UT April 7

** AUSTRALIA. 9610, April 4 at 1325, S8-S9 in S Asian language saying
``@twr.in`` so it must be TWR-India, via?? NO, scheduled is Reach
Beyond Australia on 9610 in Hindi until 1330 Thursdays. Could RBA be
secretly carrying TWR programming, or did I mishear? A bit more S
Asian talk and music follows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA [non]. 15120-15125, Thu April 4 at 1403, I can tell WINB
hybrid DRM is on, but VP S4 about = noise level. This must be the new
Unique Radio transmission at 14-15 Wed/Thu/Fri. Tim doesn`t say what
the program is --- his own `Sounds of Your Life`??

BTW, NIGERIA could also be DRMing circa 15119.9 as early as 1600 in
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)

This report despatched at 0406 UT April 6

** ALBANIA. 9480, April 2 at 1956, something here cuts off at 1957* in
absence of 9475 WTWW on 5830 instead, and would have been blocked by
9475 splash. It`s only CRI French relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI

** ARGENTINA [non]. See USA: WRMI

** BRAZIL. 4774.976, April 3 at 0624, weak music vs CODAR. Following
my previous report whether it`s Brasil, Perà or Swaziland, Manuel
MÃndez, Spain, IDed RÃdio Congonhas [NOT ``Radio Sora``]:

``Manuel MÃndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Friol, Tecsun S-8800, cable
antenna, 8 meters: BRAZIL, 4775, Radio Congonhas, Congonhas, 0355-
0445, 02-04, after various months without heard it, now on air.
Brazilian songs, pop songs in English, at 0414: "Uma e quatorze", at
0424: "Radio Congonhas AM...", âRadio Congonhas a emissora do Bom
Jesusâ. Weak. 15311`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9630.47 approx., April 3 at 0556, R. Aparecida reactivated
on split frequency as het way underneath RNZI which landed here for A
-19 in the 05-07 span. See NEW ZEALAND.

Other unblocked ZY frequencies as measured:

9664.626, April 3 at 0559, Voz MissionÃria the outstanding ZY signal
tonight, S9-S7, TC for 3 am at 0600.

9818.762, April 3 at 0603, R. Nove de Julho, JBA, presumably still 24h
relay of R. Aparecida.

11815.028, April 3 at 0606, JBA music presumed R. Brasil Central.

11856v, NO signal from R. Aparecida here.

6134.823, April 3 at 0617, R. Aparecida with song/hymn vs stray Cuban
pulse jamming, S7; 0620 flagship program ID ``Com a MÃe Aparecida``.

This measurement contradicts Anker Petersen who has been reporting it
as 6134.84, apparently needing receiver recalibration. (This is not
splitting hairs, as precise off-frequency measurements are a great aid
to identification, but they need to be accurate.)

Also regarding R. Aparecida, CÃlio Romais in Porto Alegre told me
March 26 that he is still doing a DX report, now only for `Encontro
DX` on this station, Saturdays at 2200 UT; example:
https://youtu.be/tsuvaslJOUA
Does not specify frequencies, but has been on irregular variables:
5035, 6135, 9630, 11855 and via 9 Julho 9820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 9800, April 3 at 1354, story in English from CRI // 9570 via
CUBA; now here this hour only, 500 kW due SE from Kunming, instead of
VOA Korean heard during B-18 on 9800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 2940+, re my several recent logs of an harmonic here,
many tnx to Brett Saylor who has definitely IDed it as the same one
which was being heard a few years ago:

``Hi Glenn, Regarding the reports of a station on 2940.x, I heard HJNT
Huellas Radio, Cali, Colombia on approx. 2940.11 kHz (2 x 1470.x) with
impassioned Spanish preacher at 1030 UT on 2 April 2019 on my Perseus
SDR and south 16' x 36' Wellbrook broadband loop; confirmed this was
HJNT via comparison with the TWR kiwiSDR in Bonaire and the station's
own web stream at http://www.radios.com.co/huellas/ --- Best 73, Brett
Saylor W3SWL, State College, PA``

Huella means footprint, or vestige, apropos for harmonic, unlikely
chosen deliberately! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, April 2 at 1951, RHC in French, while 15140 is in
English. French must have shifted an hour earlier; still shown in
Aoki/NDXC not starting until 2030. Something`s always wrong? at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6150, April 3 at 1247, RHC still here as only 49mb morning
frequency, undermodulated, but inaudible on 12300 = x 2. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, April 3 at 1444, RHC is S9+10 of dead air. Also before
1400 I noticed that 13780 was much weaker by comparison. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, April 2 after 2000, VOG poor signal but almost
suffices for napmusic, until chopped off air abruptly at 2020*,
whenever they get around to it regardless of programming in progress
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, April 3 at 0629, S9+10 of open carrier which TGAV
has not yet turned off; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6070, April 3 at 1302, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze
allegedly here via JAPAN, maybe the slight fast SAH on CFRX which is
always a few Hz to the low side. Ron Howard called 6070 a `clear`
frequency for Shiokaze, April 1, maybe in California but certainly not
here. And S/SB has started running a second frequency, 5920 clashing
with another clandestine for NK, Voice of Freedom! There I can`t make
out anything from one or two weakies. However, today April 3, Ron says
S/SB was *not* on 6070 at 1316, just colliding on 5920; what about
tomorrow with English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9630.47, April 3 at 0556, 9630.0 RNZI is
S9+10 but with a het just as I feared, obviously R. Aparecida, Brasil,
reactivated. NZ is way stronger but unnecessarily faces this QRM for
the 05-07 span while countless other 31m channels are vacant. Brasil
prop is up tonight, as I measure several others, q.v.

5945, April 3 at 1245, RNZI on `overnight` channel, S7-S9 fair with
flutter in Pidgin, ``blong Papua New Guinea``. Off before 1259:

5980, April 3 at *1259 RNZI s/on with bellbird, S7-S9 but less fadey,
more solid signal than 5945 had been, as to be expected also switching
from NNW-only to NNE antenna better for us. Initially some residual
Cuban pulse jamming underneath, tho Martà finished an hour earlier.
1300 timesignal and RNZ Pacific, news including case dropped against
Fiji MPs for sedition; Solomon polls have closed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, April 3 at 1255, S6-S9 open carrier with
flutter, decent signal from presumed SIBC, maybe still on for elexion
day, but hardly helpful if not modulated. Some ACI from 5025 Cuba
music; and much stronger than 5055 Australia carrier.

However, Ron Howard says 5020 was modulated: ``SIBC (presumed), 1244+,
on April 3. Another day of slightly above threshold level audio; pop
songs (many C&W songs); another day running past their usual 1200*
(Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, EtÃn E1, antenna: 100' long

** SPAIN. 12030, Tue April 2 at 2130, REE splits this frequency from
the others to begin Arabic, ``Huna Madrid``, ex 2230- in B-season. Is
it M-F? Very smooth transition, as `Tablero Deportivo` had just
wrapped up on this and 11940, 9690 (but 11670 still AWOL). After time
pip, 11940 & 9690 continue in Castilian discussing animal languages on
`VÃa AcÃstica``, interesting programming we are deprived of in English
tnx to Coe`s obsession with music. Manuel in Spain also reports Arabic
until 1700 April 3 on 12030, then M/W/F Russian, ex-1800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15730, April 2 at 1950, S9 open carrier, Greenville-B
warming up for 2000 VOA French on same. Unlike B-18, in A-19 there is
no VOA broadcast from another site just before this, so no need for a
warmup on 15740 instead. Sked is now 2000-2030 daily in French, plus
2030-2100 Sun in French, Sat in Hausa. 17530 GB is already running in
French from 1930 daily until 2030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. At 0131 UT Tue April 2, Peter Hansen in FL reported to the
WOR io group: ``No Argentina on 9395 tonight --- Argentina not on
tonight, religion instead, Peace with God. No Albania at 0130 either,
more religion. Peter W Hansen``

Could the relay contract have expired? So I check the confusing WRMI
skedgrids. RAE English at 01 and all the other languages are still
showing as before. Further monitoring: April 2 at 2115, 7780 is poor
in RAE German; 9395 S9 with song in Spanish, 2118 sports report in RAE
Italian.

9395, UT Wed April 3 at 0059 tune-in, double-audio! from WRMI: gospel
huxter in English runs thru hourtop as `Hope for the Heart`, show
title? while audible underneath is WRMI ID and 0100 RAE multi-lingual
crutch filler, 0102 sign-on in English --- just as QRM stops since
it`s from a different transmitter! cutting off the air, clearing 9395
for RAE only; 0118 another multi-ling ID spiel. It`s hard to imagine
any other US station on 9395 by mistake, rather WRMI QRMing itself.
Searching WRMI skedgrids, no hits on Hope or Heart.

9395, UT Wed April 3 at 0142 check, R. Tirana relay, Klara confirmed
still on WRMI, S9+10, tho missing yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, April 2 at 1956, WTWW-1 night frequency with music
after found missing from day frequency 9475; no doubt Ted failed to
make the QSY yet again this morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15555-USB, April 3 at 1441, piano hymn, music unusual on
WJHR Milton FL, but soon back to gospel huxtering. Poor signal, but
would you believe this 1 kW PEP is among the best on band, better than
100 kWs but JBA 15770 SMTV WRMI, and JBA carrier 15825 WWCR? Cubans
also very weak. WJHR rarely audible at all. Narrow HF sporadic E
boost? Maybe, but none showing on 10m DX map (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15115-15120-15125, April 3 at 1442, WINB hybrid DRM on new
frequency, ex-13750-13755-13760, but VP propagation. As always, DRM
noise on top half only, some kind of secret data beepery (HF trading?)
on bottom half. At least that distinguishes it from Voice of Nigeria,
which also uses 15120 for full DRM normally after 1800, but has also
shown up here much earlier in AM or DRM. I can hardly wait for a head
-on DRM collision (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5800, April 3 at 1305, JBA carrier, nothing listed.
Certainly not Europirate at this hour; something E Asian? Or WRMI?
