** CUBA. 6145, April 8 at 0541, RHC English back here instead of 6165
instead of 9700, S9+20 but undermodulated. Now = UM on 6100 S9/+10,
6000 S9+20/30, and 5040 S9+20/30 --- but 6060 is dead air at S9+10
with some hum only instead of big humbuzz; progress? Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, April 8 at 1430, RHC Spanish back here during `Sonido
Cubano` music, S9+10/20 but no spurs and not on 13740 either where the
spurunit appeared yesterday. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 13710, April 8 at 1455, CRI S9+10/S7 with flutter,
in American-English chat, i.e. Kashgar scheduled this hour only, to be
replaced by Sa`udi Qur`an at 1457. From the land of ChiCom imperialist
persecution, even genocide against native Uyghurs and other Moslems
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 15720, April 8 at 0534, JBA carrier no doubt RNZP, far
too late to be useful here instead of 9, 11 or even 13 MHz channels;
now scheduled until 0558, but Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, has been hearing
it running even later until 0645* instead of 11725 from *0559 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, April 8 at 0546, JBA nothing but talk,
sounds like a real station. Search for //s: not TOMBS on WRMI or WWCR;
not any of my 3 Enid locals 960, 1390, 1640. No big 7 MHz signals
which could leapfrog here. 6970 does not compute as any MW harmonic
either. I notice that 6970 happens to be 2 x 3485, where Gander VOLMET
is, but USB of course and not // either.

It`s S9 but so is the local noise level, so mostly unreadable. At 0600
fades up a bit, 0603 with anti-Biden talk, denouncing ``far left`` so
I bet it`s Fox News Channel TV audio. YES, I soon match it to FNC on
cable 48 here, a few seconds ahead of that during Sean Hannity repeat.
[BTW, our Suddenlink office was closed down yesterday for state tax
violations!] Also occasional machine-gun rat-a-tat-tat QRM, utility I
assume, tho the paranoid might conclude it be jamming.

Later I check HF Underground and find NO logs of it tonight as there
is hardly any pirate activity or DXing this late at night; but FNC has
been reported several times before on 6970, in full daytime, most
recently January 26 at 1755 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed April 7 at 2126, REE JBA carrier on so-called
North American service; 15520 to ME backwards is better but still poor
S3-S5; 11940 to S America best at S5-S8; 11685 to Africa JBA vs RTTY
11687.5 except with LSB tuning. By 2158, 11940 is fair-poor S4-S5 as
token M/W/F English is about to begin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 7 at 2158, VOT IS is JBA vs RTTY CCI; still JBA
at 2226 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2080 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 7 at 2100 on WBCQ 7489.922, offset -78v Hz as measured
by Virginia SDR in SAM mode, S9/+20; while simul on WRMI 7780 is S9+10
but undermodulated in comparison. Also direct to here at 2125 check,
7490- is JBA S5, 7780 JBA S4-S8.

Also confirmed Wed Apr 7 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 generally over
pulse jamming, same by 2226 recheck.

Confirmed final repeat, UT Thursday April 8 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, good
S9/+10 into VA KiwiSDR.

Next WOR 2081 should be ready by early UT Friday April 9 for first
airings at 0130 on WRMIs, 5850 & 7780.

BTW, this week, April 5, the Monday 1801 broadcast on IRRS 7290,
Bulgaria? Romania? was also heard on X2 = 14580 via UTwente SDR,
reports Ralf Ladusch, Germany in A-DX via Wolfgang Büschel. I`m adding
14580 to my WOR schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Ron Howard, CA, replies to my previous logs:

``Hi Glenn, Clearly the propagation conditions change a great deal for
11835 reception; changing on a daily basis. April 8 (Thursday),
checked 11835, from 0451 to 0705 UT. At tune in there was certainly
only one station being heard (R. Vanuatu harmonic), with no trace at
all of CNR2; at 0500, no hint of time pips from CNR2. About 0545,
started to hear CNR2 fading in; 0600, clear China time pips and RV
extremely weak (totally unusable) underneath; CNR2 continued to gain
in strength, while RV got harder to hear underneath. 7890 and 3945,
both unheard.

Normally RV does start the news about one minute or so after the hour.
Their intro is indeed always with the same theme music;
consisting of indigenous horns and drums, making for a very unique
sound; ending the news with a different theme music. Ron`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

CUBA. 6000, April 2 at 0342, this RHC English frequency is off; but
fortunately the other one is on and VG, 6165. Something's always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
6060, April 3 at 0551, RHC English with the perpetual buzz;
6000 OK, 6100 off, 6145 VG, 5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
6165, April 4 at 0537, RHC English is back here after 6145
last night; can`t decide which? Hard-soul music during 'Music with a
Message', concentrating on 1971 US anti-war era. 6100 is S9+30 but now
developing a squeal à la WWCR-1. 6060 is S9+10 not buzzy for a change
but distorted. 6000 is S9+30 but lo-fi A/B comparing to audio
bandwidth on 6060. 5040 is back in English for a change, S9+30.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. RHC check at 0455 UT April 5: 6060 Spanish with humbuzz, 6100
Spanish with squeal, 5040 good in Spanish; 6165 // 6000 music presumed
English service. Something's always wrong at RHC.

CUBA. 6165, April 6 at 0235, RHC English, instead of alternate
6145; 6060 nothing but big humbuzz. Something's always wrong at RHC.
6100, April 6 at 0610, RHC final English repeat is OFF. So is 6000.
Still ON are 6165, VG S9+30, and 6060 S9+10/20 but still with big
humbuzz only. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
CUBA. 6000 & 6100 off, 6060 S9+20 big humbuzz over English; 6165
S9+20 lite hum and undermodulated, 5040 off. Something's always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
SAUDI ARABIA. 17615 & 17705, April 2 at 1348 JBA carriers, the only
ones on band besides much stronger 17880, see MALI. The pair of course
correlate with Riyadh which per WRTH is now known as SRI = Saudi Radio
International, or SBA = Saudi Broadcasting Authority, no longer the
legacy BSKSA = Broadcasting Service of the Kingdom of Sa'udi Arabia.
And there are no longer any RIY entries in HFCC as they have
withdrawn; something to hide? Aoki/NDXC shows these frequencies: 17615
at 0855-1157 & 1250-1557; 17705 at 1155-1457. Also 17895 but unheard

from China, which I assume would have a ToH timesignal and break,
right? Also a JBA carrier on X2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

So please explain why they moved the spurblob-producing transmitter from 13700 to 13740 today. These are often extremely strong here. ``At will`` merely means whenever they need or want to, whatever the listings may say. EiBi and Aoki cannot agree on whether these are Bejucal or Bauta. And HFCC is not told anything. Glenn

not at will ! ,
only according of same antenna azimuth direction availabbbility,

i.e. you will never hear 'Quivican-origin-instead outlets'
on 9535.v or 9650.v odd frequencies
at 50 kW old Bejucal USSR's steep angle antenna request figures
to MEX, GTM, Panama Latin AM target antenna
or 9650.0v towards Trinidad Antilles NorthEast South America
special from Bejucal site.

Scratch spurs out of Bauta in 22 mb occur only at small power signals
of -112 ... -100dBm, when shortwave propagation is well in North America
during whole daytime.
At other days of the week you have a chance to hear these
signals only next to the TX center ground wave in the vicinity of
TX installation, like groundwaves/harmonics to fetch
at Kostinbrod BUL or Saftica ROU on 7290 or 9510 kHz.
