** CHINA [and non]. 13830, April 8 at 1338, Firedrake jamming, poor with CCI.
Usually only hear CNR1 jamming here --- vs RFA Tibetan via TAJIKISTAN.
16100, April 8 at 1343, CNR1 jamming, good with flutter.
NO other FD or CNR1 jamming found in the 10s, 12s, 14s, 17s, 18s, 19s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, April 8 at 0556, R. Rebelde transmitter produces only a big hum,
while 5040, RHC is already off.
9550, April 8 at 1333, RHC is still here despite colliding with CRI in
Vietnamese, but no RHC any more on 9540. The weak 9550 signal sounds like it
used to on 9540, minus the QRM.
15370, April 8 at 1333, RHC is here for the second day, so looks more like it`s
intentional, ex-13780. Not quite as strong as // 15340, but the combo now make
leapfrog mixing products not only on 15400 but also on 15310. At 1342 April 8,
15400 is axually better audible than seriously undermodulated fundamental 15230!
Ivo Ivanov found another new frequency today at 11-15, 9830, which he thinx
replaces 9540. Now to check for 17720 starting at 1930 as in web schedule
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 9690, April 8 at 1351, with BS from WRMI unexpectedly on
7455 instead, how about the AIR GOS at 1330-1500, which has been blocked for
months? Unfortunately there is a third station QRMing and hard to hear AIR.
Aoki shows the only other one at this time is V of Nigeria, which would be
unusual here at this time, maybe long-path remnant? Not in HFCC, of course, and
EiBi shows VON on 9690 but not between 1200 and 1630; their operation is
however, unpredictable.
AIR // 13710 is fair-good until 1400 QRMed by Kashgar with CRI English; while
third AIR //, 11620 is a JBA carrier. Aoki shows nothing else there now, except
evil jamming by China, even tho AIR is in English. We can only hope WRMI will
stay off 9690, but see USA, could be just a mistake on 7455 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, April 8 at 1334 check, VOI is fair with flutter --- but
dead air, or possibly a trace of modulation. So much for ``Exotic Indonesia``
with RRI Banjarmasin this Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 15745, April 8 at 1429, fair-good open carrier, 1430 `Sakura`
and NHK opening in Hindi, via MADAGASCAR. At first I thought it would be in
Indonesian or Swahili (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 8 at 1357, fair OC is on from Voice of Tibet,
MADAGASCAR, 1400 programming, 1407 jump to 15530 to avoid ChiCom jammer, which
however I can`t hear today on either frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, April 8 at 1339 is today`s missing frequency from WEWN, while
11550 Spanish and 15610 English are inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7455, April 8 at 1349 past 1400, surprised to find Brother Scare
here, with blessedly non-boosted modulation typical of WRMI, and indeed //
synch with 15770 WRMI. 7455 is on instead of 9690, which we have rued from the
very first day of WRMI Okeechobee, since it blox All India Radio at 1330-1500.
Often when trying [hee hee] to hear BS on 9690, there would be QRM here from
India. So a welcome change, altho see INDIA [and non]. However, I fear it`s a
mistake, since the same transmitter #13 on 285 degree antenna is carrying
TruNews on 7455 until 1100, so probably failed to change frequency to 9690 when
resuming at 1200. We`ll see. 1620 recheck: still on 7455, not 9690.
As for yesterday`s anomaly, 9955 missing at 2115 April 7, Jeff White explains,
``Brother Stair has not cut back on WRMI at this point. 9955 should have been
on at 2115; will have to check to see if there was a problem. We have had some
short power outages recently due to osprey nest construction on the ranch, so
it's possible. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4815, April 9 at 0051, R. Difusora Londrina, Brazuguese sermon, fair
vs CODAR, but certainly the BBOB tonight --- best Brazilian on band, only one
listenable, vs several weaker carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 5999.6, April 9 at 0114, terribly excited announcers, surely futebol
from R. Nacional, Bras?lia, and making big het against RHC English 6000. Can`t
// it to 6180, since that RNA frequency is off! But certainly // 11780. This is
no 4 kW, as originally publicized. Could they have moved the 250 kW transmitter
from 6180 to 6000? That would be insane, vs Cuba, while 6180 was owned by RNA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9630.0, April 9 at 0040, Brazuguese talk, very bassy with rumble,
but don`t think it`s CCI, and not off-frequency unlike much clearer // 11856.5
promptly with R. Aparecida ID in passing. It`s also still colliding with
Bolivia on almost the same frequency 6134.8v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17720, April 8 at 1932, still no signal from RHC despite own schedule
online claiming it`s here in Spanish to Europe starting at 1930; maybe really
old info? At same time, 11840 is on again in French, new frequency to Europe.
11670, April 8 at 2126, RHC Spanish is on here now, blotting All India Radio
General Overseas Service, which used to be the best frequency for us in North
America. Possibly only a SAH from the AIR signal. Also noted with complaints by
DXLD listeners further east in North America where AIR signal would be better.
RHC also on earlier than before on // 11760, and audible on undermodulated
11840, 9710.
RHC has this unfortunate habit of: once a frequency is in use for one daypart,
they add it in another one, when the QRM/collision situation is completely
different, a sign of clueless frequency management. 11670 had been in use only
at 0000-0500 UT in B-13, not a problem for India which finishes with it at
2230. 11760 had been in a break between 2030 and 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE [non]. 7450, 7475, 9420, 11645, 15630 and 15650 all provide NO
signals from Helleniki Radiophonia, April 9 at 0120 check; 9420 has Qur`an from
Iran poorly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, April 8 at 1933, R. Kuwait is fair with pop music, even on
the DX-375 with built-in whip I keep in the car for quick chex while mobile
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6851-RCUSB, April 9 at 0037, pirate music, poor with storm
noise in the distance; 0103 better with Beatles` ``All You Need is Love``.
Following tip on The Crystal Ship mailing list from John Poet that a relay was
expected starting around 2345 or 0000. (Since an encounter with the FCC, TCS
relies only on others to transmit his programs.) Still on at my final check
0121. Reduced carrier helps a lot in tuning in accurately during instrumental
music. Other logs of this:
http://freeradiocafe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4491
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6150.6-AM, music and announcements, 0054 UT April 9, 0058
jingle? Pulsing QRM, OTHR? Past 0100+; presumed pirate, Channel Z, which was
reported around here April 2 by Chris Lobdell, at the same hour, within the
49mb. Just too weak to copy any details; same time as TCS relay was active on
6851-RCUSB. Numerous other logs of Channel Z tonight at:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,16484.0.html
link which some log editors will surely delete. I`m on the lookout for
list-logs of this as Radio Bayrak, TRNC --- tho latest lists omit it, not in
WRTH any more, nor Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 7160-AM, April 8 at 2130, not much to be heard on 40 or 41 meters
this early, but here`s somebody in AM, good with fades, commenting about
medical care, mentions going to Oklahoma City; soon ID as W5JO, and closing
contact with K5SEE(?). W5JO is James P Wilhite, in the southern OK town of
Sulphur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 9 at 0055, R. Chaski carrier, very poor but enough to
provide some modulation, until cutoff at 0107:47* which is 6 seconds later than
yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. 9685, April 9 at 0039 check, zero signal as always from IRS,
despite A-14 dated schedule on own website
http://voiceofserbia.org/program-schedule
still claiming ``Radio Yugoslavia`` is on the air to North America, including
English at 0030-0100 Tue-Sat. That was really deleted about a year ago, IIRC.
Whom do they think they are kidding? Hey, maybe they are still collecting
government money to pay for this non-broadcast? Shhh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17730, April 8 at 1932, WHRI is still here with BS,
pending QSY sometime to 21600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
USA: WRMI
** TURKEY. 9770 = 9870, April 9 at 0122, VOT is back on both Spanish
frequencies tonight, while 9770 was missing 24 hours earlier. Now they are
about equal level, only poor-fair, and little if any India QRMing 9870 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9690, April 8 at 1932 check, now WRMI is back on here with BS, after
having apparently run Him on 7455 by mistake earlier in the day as in my
previous report, heard as early as 1349 and as late as 1620.
9495, UT Tue April 9 at 0043, WRMI-14 is playing PCJ Radio on a secret repeat,
Keith Perron interviewing Dan Robinson, ex-VOA who says he chose to take a
buyout rather than keep working there under unpleasant conditions, wrapping up
at 0055. Part 2 to continue in a later edition. Fair-poor with deep fades and
some jambleed from 9490 unless tightened (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.6, April 9 at 0120 check, still no WRNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
