** CUBA. 6060, May 18 at 0636, this RHC English is humbuzzy again,
while 6165 & 6100 are both on and OK; 6000 & 5040 both off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 1426, RHC Spanish ex-9710, just as it was for
the tarde transmission earlier UT May 18. BUT:

9710, May 18 at 2155 back here after last evening and this morning on
9700 instead; so a one-day test, mistake, or what? Both have collision
problems during their long spans as I already explained.

It will be recalled that for a few weeks, 9700 was employed for
evening English instead of 6145 or 6165. RHC really *should* keep one
31mb frequency for that, especially in summer, instead of putting all
their English eggs in the noisy 48-59m basket. Reasonable frequency
diversity is always a good idea for best coverage. Wait a minute: what
if the Commies take my advice? Never mind. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13610 & 13677 very approx., wideband FM spurblobs not from
13700 in the mornings, but now at 2152 May 18, from 13740-AM in the
evening, the only RHC fundamental on band. Also telltale F# tone; also
a trace circa 13811. But all gone at 2227 since 13740 has been turned
off tho still scheduled.

13670 & 13810 spurs out of 13740-AM, all back on May 19 at 0033.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145 & 6165, May 19 at 0052 and still 0142, no RHC English on
either, just 6000 which is S9+10/20 but undermodulated, vs storm
noise. It does not help that main announcer Lina Valverde has such a
thin, non-announcer voice. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, May 19 at 0143, REE to N America is still propagating
midnightly, natch OSOB, S9-S7 and also until 0200 sign-off, 0201-0205*
needless prolongation of earworm IS but SOP for REE at closings. Only
// 11940 for S America does the same and is better at S9/+20. As
non-useful as it may be for best listening, sticking to 17855 may be
taken at least as an interesting propagational experiment for the
summer A-21 season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 18 at 2158 & still 2226 recheck, no signal from
VOT English to N America tho no RTTY either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

coincidence? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

DekaHz? I`m too cute. Make that myriaHz = 10000 Hz = 10 kHz

** CHINA. 12820, May 17 at 1439 JBA in Chinese? A Sound of Hope
frequency *jammed by CNR1 -- with Korea North so strong on 11710, I`m
seeking these above & below 11 and 13 MHz where many are listed and
used to be rampant, but this is the only one now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6030, May 16 at 2342, unusually quiet frequency,
except for storm noise, no Martí and no jamming despite not starting
until *0000. HFCC shows until 0400*, plus one more hour on Day 2 =
Monday after which jamming continues against nothing, not even CFVP
Calgary, which needs some minor repairs but not without turning off AM
1060 CKMX which they don`t want to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, May 17 at 0515, this RHC is off in English; remaining
on 6000 & 6165 which are OK, 6060 a bit rough but not humbuzzy; and
5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 0219, RHC Spanish here ex-9710, // weaker
9535 and many more of various less weaks: 6060, 13740, 11670, 11850,
5040. That takes care of the collision with CRI to Latin America at
00-03 via Kashgar, land of ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems. Could RHC have got around to reading my previous advisories?
Now the collision should be with Romania in Spanish for only one hour,
this one at 02-03; but no sign of it now. May be one of the
temporarily? silent transmitters misleading RHC into a supposed
opening. We shall hear. Span of 9710 was allegedly 21-05 & 11-15, so
if same on 9700, another Rospania clash would be 23-24. There is no
reason for same change to be made both morning and evening, but I
shan`t be surprised if RHC matutina also lose a dekaHz to 9700 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 17 at 1440, sweet music from the workers`
paradise, during VOK French hour to N America, S9-S7 and // 9435 is
S5-S6; but 13760.2 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 16 at 2200, VOT sounds on but JBA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, Mon May 17 at 1404, strong open carrier cuts off
shortly after tune-in. No doubt a routine 10 AM test of a VOA
Grimesland transmitter prior to scheduled usage from 1700. Also by
USAGM via Vatican, violating Separation of Church and State, until
1400; then an hour off except for São Tomé on weekends; from 1500 more
Botswana and ST before 1700 switch to GB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 16 at 2000 on IRRS via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, VG via nearby Noale
SDR.

NOT confirmed, Sun May 16 at 2200 on Area 51/61 via WBCQ 6159.9
because it`s OFF the air as are the other two WBCQs: 7489.9+, no UBMP;
and 9330.00, no wacko flat-earthers. Also no trace of them at Virginia
SDR. Blitzortung shows a small storm right around Monticello into NB,
but no recent or current lightning strixe. Must have closed down as
precaution, but streaming of WOR and UBMP is still working, where I
would listen anyway. Still off SW at 2249, but by 2257, 9330 and 7490
are back on; a JBA carrier on 6160: that would be Iran in Arabic from
2250: another reason for WBCQ to get off 6160 permanently, like shift
to 6155 as I keep proposing. By 2318, 6160- is on with music at
S9/+10, carrier offset minus 108 = 6158.892 kHz.

WOR 2086 confirmed Sun May 16 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/15 into
Virginia.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30
direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0230 on WRMIs: 7780 VP/JBA S7 vs storm
noise; 5800 S9+20 direct but not overcoming nearby storms.

Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE

** CUBA. 6165 & 6060, May 16 at 0603, RHC English sufficiently good on
both and no buzz, while 6100 & 6000 are off, and 5040 in Spanish.
Looks like the insomniac Esperantists are going to be out of luck,
frequenciless at 0700 on 6100 when I am never awake to check.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13770, May 16 at 1356, the blob is back! Extremely distorted
RHC Spanish with F# tone, matched on 13629; also JBA circa 13558 and
13841, i.e. about 70.5 kHz intervals from 13700-AM. Recheck at 1410
the spurs are gone, must have tweaked something as 13700 is still on
while 13740, unrelated to these, has departed. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11910, Sunday May 16 at 1731, JBA carrier direct tnx
to Rick Barton tip at 1728 on WOR iog that YHWH is on NOW on 11910.
Then I check the Phoenix/Surprise AZ KiwiSDR near him, but also JBA
carrier. Then to Corinne, northern Utah, where reception is good!
S8-S9 but occasional deep slow fades, carrier offset -10 to -11 Hz,
and near 100% readable; at tune-in with `Days of Hard Life` theme so
thought he was about to close, but instead opening. ``Josiah Elias``
introduces *tonight`s* lexure, at 1740 ``Christianity - Greatest Hoax
Ever``. He`s *so* sure of himself, replacing one source of
irrationality with another. 1803 ID again and subtitle, continues
about conventional Bible being ``phony`` by the ``Christianity cult``.
Pronounced ``yah-ha-VAY``. Still going at 1816 when I break for lunch
of gumbo with extra okra; still on at 1836, but off by next check 1859
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
