** CUBA. 5040, April 19 at 0615, RHC is still on but in mushy Spanish
when no SW frequency is supposedly scheduled; maybe it was in English
at 05-06. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13700 & 13780, Sunday April 19 at 1335, RHC `En Contacto`
canned opening by voice of Marta Ríos, as outroed by this week`s
co-host María Elena Calderín, reading the script by Prof. Coro
Antich.. Arnie says he`s working from home due to CV isolation --- but
he`s always phoning in from home. Spends first 5 minutes on World
Music Radio, Denmark, q.v. Then, 6.1 earthquake hit western Cuba.
Record hi temps lead to tropo DX; hams from neighboring Jamaica,
Bahamas, Florida, Mexico have been getting into the nationwide 2-meter
repeater network. Also JBA on 13620 & 13860; see separate log.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13620 & 13860, April 19 at 1349, RHC `En Compañía del Doctor`
JBA enough modulation on these two leapfrog mixing products between
S9+30 13700 & 13780, another 80 kHz plus and minus. Once again, not
topic-V, but the value of aspirin vs infarxions. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, S9+10/20 clear // 15140 S9+10/20 distorted, April 19
at 1508, RHC in Spanish instead of Esperanto Sundays, kio okazis?
Io ĉiam estas malĝusta ĉe RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** DENMARK. 15805, Sunday April 19 at 1325, no signal direct from
World Music Radio, as reactivated weekends only. This time by 1521 I
bring up the KiwiSDRs in Europe to check it. Of the three in Spain,
only Barcelona has a trace of it. Of the 13 in Italy, the first one I
try, Rome, is getting it, but awful distortion from wobbling unstable
carrier tuning USB or LSB. Isn`t SHN monitoring his own output? 1525
break in pop music as YL mentions Denmark in English; can`t stand any
more of it by 1533. 1600 recheck still awful, unlistenable until I switch to AM, by which
it`s not so bad. Maybe this is why SHN advises not to tune in SSB,
which otherwise could improve such weak-signal reception! 1643 cuts
off suddenly, or at least most of the modulation as the mushy carrier
still seems there vs Roman noise level: nothing but squealing when
tuned to 15804-USB. 1856 recheck, much weaker with distorted music.
Earlier at 0915-0935, Manuel Méndez in Spain called it a ``clear
signal``. BTW, in yesterday`s report I said WTWW has not been on 15805 for
months; in fact the frequency it has not been on is 15810. BTW2, Arnie
Coro devoted the first 5 minutes of his RHC Spanish DX show this week
to WMR, derived from SHN`s notice about it as on HCDX. Sked is Sat/Sun
only 0700-2000, 200 watts southwards. AC suggests yagi would raise ERP
to 800 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ECUADOR. 6050, April 19 at 0558, S8-S9 of hymn in Spanish, 0600 no
timesignal nor any announcement but another hymn, 0603 yet another.
Got to be HCJB running overtime instead of closing by 0500*. Only
QRM when the RHC news sounder bursts from 6060. HCJB has been
reported overnight before, by Wolfgang Bueschel March 15 = also

WOR) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, April 19 at 0604, JBA carrier, so it seems
Bata is back on air again, probably starting an hour earlier. Ron

was back today when checked at 0515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 23, KSBI ``52``, April 19 at 1300-1430+ is carrying
`CBS Sunday Morning`, which has been shunted here from RF 25 KWTV
``9`` because the big 4 OKC TV stations are all carrying a
pre-recorded commemoration at the 25th anniversary of the OKC bombing
--- normally they would all go live for the ceremony including reading
names of all 168 victims. At least KWTV provides this alternative on
its sub-station. I believe I previously denied that 52 is known as
``News 9 Plus``, but now I see such an ID slide at breaks, at least
when it is carrying KWTV programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.069, April 19 at 1506, JBA talk, i.e.

WMR is broadcasting on 15805 kHz (Sa/Su 07-20 UTC) in AM and so listeners (= DXers) are advised to listen in the AM mode. Glenn Hauser reports "wobbling unstable carrier tuning USB or LSB" and an "awful, unlistenable" signal and then questions whether I monitor the signal on 15805 kHz. Of course I do, and that is why I repeatedly have asked DXers to utilise AM and not SSB when listening to WMR on 15805 kHz. If I had all the money in the world (which I haven't and this is of course just an expensive hobby project) I could probably have the tx fixed so it provided good audio also using SSB, but - sorry - this just isn't a priority as long as 15805 kHz sounds ok in AM. And it does:
Spain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZJWUEVXh44
Italy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIWC46kROYM
Japan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgE-lmtcqic
Brazil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2CZGcZCAqI
UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0doNFJ3DOwU (rare short skip propagation)
Bulgaria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g--fJAcEezA Judging coverage of SW stations by using remote KiwiSDRs is not fair. It should be a well-known fact that most of these KiwiSDRs are connected to extremely inefficient aerials and often in environments with a lot of manmade interference. In other words completely useless. However there a few good ones, and WMR can usually be heard quite well on these SDRs:
W-Greece: http://sdr.telcosol.gr:8073/
Sardinia, Italy: http://sibamanna.duckdns.org:8073/
Bucharest, Romania: http://kiwisdr.yo3iul.ro:8074/
And is also regularly heard on these SDR's - though of course with a much weaker signal:
Kuwait: http://9k2ra.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/ (mornings UTC)
NH, USA: http://w1nt.onthewifi.com:8073/ (afternoons UTC)
Brazil: http://appr.org.br:8073/ (afternoons UTC)
South Africa: http://kp.twrmon.net:8073/ (late afternoons UTC) Btw: If everything goes well, WMR will be returning to 5840 kHz with a new and stronger transmitter (500 W) from a new transmitter site near Bramming within the next two weeks. This will be on the air 24/7. Best 73s,
Stig Hartvig Nielsen
