** CUBA. 7380, April 10 at 2200, new frequency for African service,
RHC opening in French, S9/+20. 2250 check still in Kriyol instead of
Portuguese from 2230; 2310 check in English, so that`s now at 23-24 on
7380 // 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, April 10 at 1926, RHC OC prior to 1930 broadcast, but
with spurious hash peaks approx. plus/minus 3 kHz, even with no
modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 4765, April 11 at 0321, NO signal from R. Progreso, just some
CODAR swishing. Richard Langley, NB, agrees, who first noted RP absent
the night before during its entire 0030-0400 span. 5025 Rebelde is
still on and nominal. What`s with RP? Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.239, April 11 at 1327, RHC way off-frequency from
13740. As soon as I found new 13740 ex-13780 on April 7, I figured
same transmitter would eventually also get knocked off-frequency about
0.76 kHz below, and now it has been! Last measured March 25 on
13779.24. Considerably weaker than // 13700. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15230, April 11 at 1411, RHC is S9+10 but just barely
modulated; // 15140 better but still undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 9435 // 11710, April 11 at 1317, VOK with
insufferable propaganda in stilted English accompanied by self-jamming
noise bleeding from adjacent transmitters. Almost identical signals,
S9+10 and S9 respectively. Have not heard these in some time, and
suspect one or both transmitters have been down; 13-14 is the prime
broadcast for North America, with a repeat on same at 15-16.

At least NK has the right idea about scheduling, while SK`s KBS World
Radio`s so-called N American service in English also at 13-14 UT
remains on 15575, inaudible almost yearound. At 1321 check I can
almost imagine a JBA carrier on 15575! If KBS put the same transmitter
on a clear 9 or 11 MHz frequency, it could be heard. In fact, 13-14
English is on // 9570, but 205 degrees and totally blocked here by
Habana relaying China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, April 10 at 1933 UT, searching for some rare music
on the AM band, ``1600, The Cush, and 1600kush.com``, i.e. KUSH in oil
terminal Cushing OK, east of Stillwater. Cush is pronounced like in
cushion; then C&W or nostalgia, or ``Americana``.

[and non] This reminds me to enumerate the few stations around here on
daytime/groundwave listenable primarily with music, not including
foreign language, gospel huxters: 780 KSPI, 860 KKOW, 900 KSGL (split
with gospel huxters mornings), 1070v KFTI, 1280 KSOK, 1600 KUSH.
Everything else is talk or sportstalk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Apr 10 at 2201, REE thrice-weekly English already
amid interview with an author instead of a musician! About Nazi
concentration camps; OK, Justin, but how about some material
explicitly about SPAIN??? Even news? Interviewing some foreigner you
can catch visiting Madrid is a cop-out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** THAILAND. 9390, April 11 at 1316, English announcement introducing
Mandarin, S8-S4 with flutter. R. Thailand is back here for all
languages 1200-1430, beam changes between each from Udorn, including
the two English aimed 132 degrees at 1230-1300 & 1400-1430. Too bad
the English is not on 30 degrees USward like Mandarin now.

Other HSK9 English: 0000-0100 & 0200-0230 15590 to North America but
inaudible here until maybe midsummer?; 0530-0600 17640; 1900-2000 &
2030-2045 9920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 10 at 2200, NO signal from VOT English to North
America, no RTTY either. Still nothing at 2209, but did not get around
to checking later in hour whether it ever came up. TRT'de her zaman
yanlÄÅ olan bir Åeyler var.

In A-19 schedule, following frequencies are on earlier, probably one
of them prolonged, failing to QSY to 9830:
9460, 1600-2100 Turkish (someone already noted it on past 2100)
9620, 2030-2130 English
9635, 1930-2030 French
11615, 1930-2030 French
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1976 monitoring: NOT confirmed
Wednesday April 10 at 2100 on WRMI 9955 --- off the air past 2108+, as
I sometimes have to remark ``such are the risks of being the first
program in a transmission block`` (meanwhile 9395 WRMI is OK with RAE
Italian). However, WOR confirmed on WRMI webcast, and by recheck 2127,
9955 is on at S9-S6. Simultaneous 7490.17v WBCQ with WOR from 2100 is
JBA even with ECSS at 2105, a situation which is only going to worsen
as summer oncomes; also confirmed on webcast.

NOT confirmed, UT Thursday April 11 at 0000 on WRMI 7730, replaced by
Bible reading in Spanish. This is the fourth former WOR airing on WRMI
which has been canceled in the past 3 days! Quite a shakeup.

Whew, still confirmed UT Thursday April 11 at 0100 on WRMI 7780,
S9/S9+10. Next:
0930 UT Friday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW
0130 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 [new; or 1977?]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 11 at 0601, NO signal again tonight from WRNO
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15115-15120-15125, April 11 at 1412, cannot detect any
hybrid DRM from WINB; by 1431 now I can hear some weak tones on the
lower half, while any DRM noise on the upper half is indistinguishable
from band noise level. Maybe this works better toward Europe? 19m
propagation to here is pitiful except from Cuba. Presumably during
Unique Radio, Australia, program as now scheduled Wed/Thu/Fri 14-15
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
