** CUBA. 13502, 13568, 13634; 13766, 13832, 13897 approx., April 28 at
1418, extremely distorted spurblobs out of S9+30 13700-AM of RHC. The
inner pair are much stronger than the rest at intervals of about 66
kHz; more readable in AM than FM mode which also bears the earmark F#
tone above Cmiddle. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11980, April 29 at 0020, CRI relay in stilted Spanish,
S8/S9+10 which could be mistaken for a fundamental instead of the
second harmonic of 5990 which is S9+10/30; also on non-harmonic weaker
// 15120. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Both fundamentals are
Quivicán per Aoki/NDXC but fails to acknowledge the existence of
11980. Nor does Eibi, but ``harm`` 12000 for RHC, and the Vanuatus,
nothing else despite what I and others may hear. Aoki does not even
include the widely-reported Vanuatu multiples of 3945.

I find it perplexing how some DX sources are so reluctant to publish
harmonix and other monitored spurs. Sesquidecades ago I had a column
in NASWA FRENDX, `Hunting Harmonics with Hauser`, and got the
impression that some `DXperts` were reluctant to admit that they
really exist, that I was not imagining them, or suffering from
receiver-produced images (which can also happen, but, know how to tell
the difference!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000 & 6145, UT Wed April 29 at 0030, at tune-in the mit-week
edition of RHC `DXers Unlimited` is just starting right at the
midpoint of its widely variable timing during each English hour ---
assuming that started on time, not always the case. First topix are
the sporadic-E season about to start (meaning on VHF, it already did,
April 13/15, and before that on HF); and sunspot signs of two solar
cycles at once --- but reception is so poor on the only two
frequencies, due to heavy storms in central and NE Oklahoma, and
undermodulated/weak signals, that I give up.

Why, in the noisy, insolated summer, are all RHC English eggs in one 6
MHz basket after 00 UT, plus even lower 5 MHz, not always, after 05
UT? Makes one wonder how well frequency manager Arnie really
understand propagation. I would not call him a ``self-styled expert``
as he once honored me. Something`s always wrong at RHC, and this is
just another thing, self-defeating its anti-American propaganda ---
so, way to go! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, April 28 at 1456 UT during talkshow, KUSH Cushing
carrier is rapidly rippling, unlike any of its neighbors (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. For Lane Whitesell --- I am not a big opera fan, and
rarely listen to an entire opera, unless maybe Mozart or Glass, but
I want to thank you for the wonderful music you play afterwards until
5:00 including today April 25! Do keep doing it. Glenn Hauser (a
former classical music programmer and announcer, myself) [on KUCO 90.1
contact webform]

Thanks for the comment --- It's nice to be appreciated for what I try
to do well in the studio (at KUCO). Thanks! (Lane A. Whitesell, April
26 to gh)

I am referring to vocal/choral music, not necessarily operatic, often
keyed to performers` birthdays, to fill out the widely variable space
following Met or other Saturday opera broadcasts which generally start
at 1700 UT, up to 2200 UT when you may also want to stay tuned for
`Footlight Parade` from elsewhere, Broadway to operatic, this time
all: the great Russian basso Fyodor Chaliapin. Also webcast via:
http://www.kucofm.com
and here`s Mr Whitesell. who can be blown up to hi-res closeup:

His ~2-hour filler does not show as a separate entry on the skedgrid:
https://www.kucofm.com/programs/program-schedule-grid/
a station which makes it almost bearable to live in Oklahoma
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PRIDNESTROVYE. 12160, April 28 at 1434, VP talk in unknown language
vs lite CODAR. Aoki/NDXC shows TWR-India via MDA/Grigoriopol`/KCH site
at 1345-1445 on a complex language schedule per quarter-hour, this one
in Hindi on M-F only; off earlier other days. Just so gone by *1500
when WWCR-2 ascend from 7490 to 12160 --- not *1600 as in Aoki,
outdated standard timing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 28 at 2234 check, another failed non-broadcast
of VOT English to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17530, April 28 at 1435-1436* open carrier cuts off shortly
after tune-in; presumably IBB Grimesland routine transmitter check a
few hours before scheduled broadcast on same (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, April 28 at 0559, S9+10/20 of open carrier; can`t see
how it could be anything but WRMI-10 which nominally closes at 0330
after Argentina relay. So why on now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, April 28 at 0558, WWCR is S9+40 but dead air except
for some hum; by 0604 has resumed with TOMBS, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7505, April 29 at 0149, just at tune-in, WRNO drops off the
air, and still off by 0156 tune-out. No great loss (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5800, UT Tue April 28 at 0230, via WRMI, RAE AAM
opening octolingual hour in Spanish. Fernando says it`s ``Made in

last week, not today. German YL a few minutes later, usw., etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11950, April 27 at 2217, this RHC on earlier than nominal
*2300 for alternate `Mesa Redonda` TV soundtrack. It`s a speech by
some Commie, perhaps a live event, distorted here, but // mainstream
RHC Spanish on 11760, undermodulated 11850 and its spur on 11840;
while 11700 is in Portuguese, 13740 and 15370 are off. 6000 is on at
2225 and the SSOB at S9 --- except it`s dead air. Normally it would be
// 11950 for the separate M.R. at 23-24. By 0214 Apr 28, 6000 is JBM,
perhaps in English like louder 6145. Something`s always wrong at RHC
::: (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, April 28 at 0219, RHC Spanish is S9+20, overmodulated
and distorted. 11760 is off already. Not on at 2217, but 13740 is on
now, S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Just for giggles, let`s check own website frecuencias schedule at:
http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias
It`s still the B-18 sked! headed
``HORARIOS, BANDAS Y FRECUENCIAS EN ESPAÑOL
PERIODO NOVIEMBRE 2018/MARZO 2019
CAMBIO DE HORARIO Y FRECUENCIA 11 DE NOVIEMBRE``
not including any 11760 in the tarde; but EiBi A-20 shows 21-02 while
11670 is 23-04, 11850 21-05.

As for the Esperanto broadcast missing at least the last two weeks
from Sunday 1500 on 11760 & 15140, now the Esperanto page
http://www.radiohc.cu/eo
does provide audio of the April 26 show, which 2+ minutes into
announces the schedule as Sundays: 08 UTC on 6100; 16 on 11760; 2230
on 15730 --- those are winter times! Should be at 07 and 15, but maybe
still at 2230. I`ve checked neither the first nor the last, and who
knows, maybe sometech axually believe it`s supposed to be at 16?(Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 27 at 2214, zero signal from VOT English to
North America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, and/or awry at
Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2031 monitoring: confirmed Monday
April 27 at 1800:40 on IRRS 7290, VG via UTwente SDR. Open carrier
already on at 1755 (and Iran in Italian already off, this week!);
1759:40 IRRS sign-on, 3 headlines from Feature Story News, then WOR.
There is no ACI plus/minus 5 on the tuner, but still some QRM on 7290,
apparently splashing out of 7280 Vietnam. After lunch, 1829 recheck
just as WOR has ended, FSN from Washington yet British accent, with
more detail, but cut to dead air at 1832 and still dead past 1838 when
The Shortwave Report should be playing. I hope there were no such
interruptions to *our* SW report.

Also confirmed UT Tue April 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 here but
noisy so only fair; at 0127 check, poor at UTwente, but VG at remote
in Maine. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

who sent a generous US$ cheque to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, April 28 at 0010, ``weather around the globe`` ---
followed by --- music! on SMTV via WRMI. Just another example why it`s
not a good idea to run TV soundtrax on radio without ``translating``
video-only info into audio. I can just *imagine* the grafix with maps
and temps, like on NHK Newsline, along with its tiresome always-same
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, April 28 at 0216, WRMI relaying RPI in Spanish, but as
I tune in with BFO, carrier is breaking up rapidly, then settles down.
Good thing there is an adjacent standby transmitter for this System
and frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.097V, April 28 at 0015-0100, WBCQ with `From the Isle
of Music`, jazz as promised this week, mostly music rather than
interviews, fair S9+10.

I was glad to advance-publicize a WBCQ special for Tuesday May 5 at
21-22 UT, featuring this and other musical programmers. Unfortunately,
we know that this time of year, reception that early in the day to
this far away will be poor, mostly absorbed before it get here, just
like other shows at 21, Marion`s Attic, BeHAViour Night, and World of
Radio. To be on 7490; and 5130 which will be even worse in the
afternoon. Why not repeat it after dark?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
