** CHINA. Firedrake April 9: 8400 very poor at 1256. No others heard in 7-12
MHz range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. Radio Mart? is running four SW frequencies at a time now instead
of three, to which it was cut back last year. This may be temporary because MW
1180 Marathon FL is off the air for upgrading(?).
April 8 at 2042 I noticed that 6030 was already on instead of previous *2200,
but at this early hour it was just barely audible, // 11930. The only other
also very weak 49m signals vs the noise level were RHC 6110 and CFRX 6070.
Could not hear any jamming on 6030 but maybe too weak to tell.
April 9 at 1311, I hear RM on 9805 in conversation about marmalade, // 11845,
and no jamming audible on 9805. At 1359 monitoring both frequencies, the list
to start ``en algunos instantes`` was ``9565, 11845, 11930, 13820``.
Yesterday we had already noted 9565 on the air after 1400, but today it took
more than a few instants to bring it up after 9805 cut off at 1400, not until
*1403.6, and no jamming audible there initially. Original A-10 schedule for
9805 was 10-13 only.
I figured it would be pointless to consult the RM website for its frequency
grid, which they had let languish for months without updating, but this one is
axually dated 6 April, as ``temporary`` showing 4 frequencies at once between
10 and 04:
http://www.martinoticias.com/frecuencia.aspx
Here it is, converted to UT and to text: so this fit, XX = 1130
04-07 6030 7405
07-10 5980 6030
10-XX 5980 6030 6105 9805
XX-12 5980 6030 9805 11845
12-13 6030 7405 9805 11845

18-23 6030 9565 11930 13820
23-24 6030 9565 11775 11930
00-01 6030 7365 11775
01-03 6030 7365 9460 11775
03-04 6030 7365 7405 9460
Note there are two totally new frequencies, which I had not yet run across,
6105 and 9460. Tough luck, XEQM!
The color coding uses a slightly different shade of green for these blox,
indicated as temporary. Apparently during most of the day there was an extra
transmitter available at Greenville; not sure if this also indicates a cutback
in Creole or other services. We do know that the one used for DRM in the
daytime on 9445-9455 has been liberated:
6105 1000-1130
11845 1130-1300
9805 1300-1400
9565 1400-1700
11845 1700-1800
6030 1800-2200
13820 2200-2300
11775 2300-2400
9460 0100-0400
The gap at 00-01 is during ``A Fondo`` Tue-Sat, the joint show with VOA, when
one of the transmitters is ``VOA`` instead, but axually totaling five
frequencies with same program during that hour --- 5890, 6030, 7365, 11775,
11970, as monitored April 9 at 0045, and they were all jammed. The DCJC has not
been so quick to extend its jamming to the entire expanded temporary schedule
of RM.
As for what happen UT Sun & Mon, RM grid does not go into such details --- and
it still shows 1180 as on the air 24 hours. ALL, except for the UT Monday 03-09
truce.
Here`s the program schedule grid which automatically shows the current week`s
dates, and with GMT confusingly in AM and PM:
http://www.martinoticias.com/RDprogramacion.aspx
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAHAN. As I was noting R. Mart? extended schedule past 1300 on 9805 with no
jamming, April 9 at 1311, I could hear something underneath, sounds like a
hymn. Per Aoki, that`s KSDA due northwest in Japanese service at 1300-1330, now
hit by QRMart? at least in OK (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. Still trying to hear VOR English to NAm on new 9890 at 22-02: A lost
cause, April 9 at 0045, just barely audible in skirts of DentroCuban Jamming
Command and VOA from 9885; PMR 9665 signal was also JBA if really there on UT
Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. DX Mix News, Bulgaria, just published the A-10 schedule of RTT,
including 7275 at 0500-0730 and 7335 at 0700-0830. Based on previous experience
I found this questionable, and sure enough, April 9 at 0550 check, both 7275
and 7335 were on in //, Arabic music, 0600 both into Arabic talk, 0601 Akbar;
the lower one stronger, but both rather poor unlike pre-magstorm and in the
B-season when they were a great source of easily-listenable nightmiddle music.
DX Mix info must be from imaginary HFCC registrations.
We need to monitor the *axual* opening and closing times of these and all other
RTT frequencies, the other morning ones being 12005 and 9725; evening 12005,
9725, 7345, 7225 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. While shortly after sign-on April 8 at 1510, KVOH 17775 spurs were
audible as noise blobs, plus and minus 145 kHz, at next check 2031 they were
much stronger and tho extremely distorted on 17920 and 17630, music modulation
and the beat matched fundamental. 17775 hit at least S9+25, tho at the high end
of the scale it`s not accurately calibrated on the FRG-7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. A big hole on 9980, as WWCR-4 was off the air at 2039 check April 8;
but later back on as usual with extremely strong signal.
April 9 at 1317, despite few poor signals over most of the 19m band, e.g. no
sign of Turkey on 15450, WWCR was inbooming on 15825, i.e. sporadic-E
enhancement on HF, but MUF did not reach VHF. A Shower-to-Shower ad at the
moment, accompanied by squeal on the signal. Reaches S9+22 and with typical Es
fading.
Lower 13845 ought to have had the same effect, but it was relatively weak, and
suffering from the WEWN spur, which on 13835 was also Es-enhanced. Since WWCR
by normal F-layer propagation on lower 7490 and 9980 were extremely strong
S9+25 as usual, this leads me to suspect that 13845 is running considerably
less than full 100 kW power, altho differences in antenna azimuth may also be a
factor.
By 1330, 13845 did manage to reach S9+20 on the meter, but still unsolid,
weaker-sounding. By 1403, the Es had diminished so 15825 back to its normal
weak and fadey signal in the F-layer skip zone only one megameter away (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, WJHR very weakly audible with you know what, April 9 at
1404, shortly faded out. Was benefiting from sporadic E opening, which did WWCR
15825 a lot more good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6175v, April 9 at 1250 I notice a het of about 200 Hz on this
frequency between two weak stations in the skirts of Cuba 6180. At first I
thought I might be tuned to the off-frequency Filipina on 6170, but soon pinned
to 6175 instead. Per Aoki it looks like the only two propagable transmitters on
6175 from Amerasia at this hour are Malaysia and China, so is Voice of Malaysia
off-frequency like some of the other RTM transmitters? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Morning check in 49 mb on April 9th at 0400-0500 UT determined R La
Habana's English sce on fair 5970 and 6000 kHz signals, but Spanish sce on
much stronger 6060 and 6110 kHz. Off on 6140 and 6150 this morning -
at least nothing heard here in Germany.
