BRAZIL RNB program around 0615 UT April 11 is on footprint exact 5999.604
kHz, but hit heavily by nearby adjacent RHC powerhouse on 6000 kHz, latter
S=9+30dB or -37dBm tremendous signal.
RNB WAS NOT on 6180 kHz, channel is empty.
See below of 6155 kHz distorted signal instead..
Heard very well too, on 11780.005 kHz at 0620 UT
on S=9+15dB or -59dBm level.
Distorted like FM modulation scratchy signal on fundamental 6155 kHz comes
definitely from RNB program \\ 11780 kHz outlet, very same program on
wideband range 6144 to 6166 kHz. S=9+20dB or - 55dBm,
noted on remote SDR units in Canada and western USA.

CUBA Before 0600 UT heard both Rebelde 5025 and RHC 5040 kHz in 60 mband.
S=9+35dB like -45dBm strength signal. After 0600 UT only Radio Rebelde
remained on 5025 kHz.
RHC from 0600 UT April 11
6000 kHz S=9+30dB -47dBm
6165 kHz S=9+35dB -42dBm - but lower modulation,
compared than 6000, 6060, and 6100 kHz.
6060 kHz S=9+35dB -42dBm - clean audio feed, but some 100 Hertz BUZZ
6100 kHz S=9+30dB -47dBm - but sratchy audio feed, somewhat distorted
feed line.

Indonesia, 9525.968, Voice of Indonesia, 1128-1145, Noted a very weak
signal here as a female
comments in possibly Chinese which is schedule for this hour. Can't pull
out the exact language
since the signal is very weak at this time. Not much left of the station at
1145. (Chuck Bolland,

China, 4557.00 Voice of the People, Tentative, 1145-1200, Noted a female

Charles,
your Excalibur seems once again "misaligned".
For some weeks or months now VoINS Cimanggis is mostly
lower frequency on 9525.891 kHz [not 9525.968].
At present in Indonesian also at 1400 UT April 11.
Or better tell the hcdx ng even pure vague 9526 kHz frequency instead.
Check your 31 mb screen against ready even broadcaster like RA SHP 9475,
CRI Russian 9525.000, and WWVH 10.000 kHz

and 4557 kHz VoP is always a service in Korean language from southern Korea
towards the northern D.P.R. of Korea for many years now,
see Aoki Nagoya frequency list as
4557 VOICE OF THE PEOPLE 0455-2300 1234567 Korean 50 ND Kyonggi-do
KOR-south 3735N12650E VOP b13 // 3480, 3912, 4450 kHz.
and jammed by North Korea sure.

Kind of off topic - BUT: I Have a prized radio collection and a golden rule:
Never loan out any radios to the curious.
I broke that rule the other day -- to a young enthusiast... and Lord knows
we need more radio enthusiasts...
Loaned a young man (30+) my *Toshiba*, *RP-F11 - *and even before
he got to play with it, he snapped the antenna off at the pivot point!
This after a clear warning: This is a RARE radio. This radio is NOT
replaceable or repairable.
BE Careful with this radio...
Even after all those warnings, there was a ham fist event that damaged the
radio.
If anyone out there has a dead or spare
Toshiba, RP-F11 that they want to share with me for parts, I would be
forever in their debt!
And Folks: DO NOT Loan out radios unless you are prepared for the worse
case scenario!

** BRAZIL. 6160, April 11 at 0526, severely out of whack RNB transmitter
supposed to be on 6180, is still cutting on and off multiple times per second
with bits of modulation, and still spreading out to 6148 and 6170 or so. I
meant to mention in the original report that the center of the mess was and is
about 6160. Jorge Freitas has forwarded my report to EBC, so perhaps something
will be done about it now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. 9335, April 11 at 1328, nice IS of bells, unique to this
service? Occasional IDs in English ``This is Radio Free Asia``; good with
flutter; 1330 sign-on Burmese service in English, then into Burmese. It`s at
1230-1430 via TINIAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11640, April 11 at 1250, Firedrake music jamming, fair-good mixing
with target which per Aoki is: RTI in Chinese at 10-14.
12910, April 11 at 1338, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
13795, April 11 at 1337, CNR1 jammer, fair, vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait
13830, April 11 at 1337, CNR1 jammer, good
15115, April 11 at 1336, CNR1 jammer, good with CCI from target
15195, April 11 at 1336, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter = 15265
15265, April 11 at 1336, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
16100, April 11 at 1333, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
None in the 17s, 18s, 14s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 13710, April 11 fair at 1338, AIR GOS news in English
concluding with a sports item and something about China; 1339 ``main points
again`` in ancient BBC style; 1340 Comm?ntary about Ukraine, with credit to
writer and reader. Same audible underneath WRMI`s Brother Scare on 9690, but
nothing heard on third // 11620. 13710 is Bengaluru, to be QRMed by CRI English
Kashgar by 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 25900, April 11 at 1526, poor choppy signal with deep fades, but
music definitely there from Radio Magic Eyes, Moscow on its Friday-only
broadcast; long talk segment between W&M from 1528, back to music at 1540.5; to
reduce local noise level on the porch, I go inside and find a power strip to
turn off, which helps a bit; 1548.5 resumes talking, 1556 song. Really more
readable in AM mode than with SSB. Even a native would have trouble making out
the Russian, and I don`t recognize the music. Any, it`s still active on the
same frequency, contrary to earlier plans.
On the DX-398 with offset BFO, MTUCI again seems very slightly on the hi side
of 25900 compared to WWV 5, 10 or 15 MHz; but matches WWV on 20 MHz, so such
assumptions are questionable, as WWV is surely exactly on each frequency,
whatever the receiver may think. Also matches JBA signal on 25000, maybe the
reactivated WWV if not MIKES (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1716 monitoring: confirmed on WWRB, 5050 (AM and not
3195), UT Friday April 11 starting at 0329:15; the preceding preacher stopped
at 0328:40 followed by a quick live ID by Dave, and respectful silence for
about a semiminute until WOR was again upcut with the billboard in progress,
and initially overmodulated but soon turned down. Also once again the webstream
was at a very low level but usable with the volume turned way up. Next:
Saturday 2330 on WTWW, 9930; UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI, 9495 ? but usually
previous edition; UT Sunday 0401 on WTWW, 5830 (with dropoffs the last two
weeks); UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110v-CUSB; Tuesday 1100 &
Wednesday 1300 on WRMI, 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1000, April 11 at 1220-1223 UT, `Mike & Mike` on ESPN Radio, quite
audible with KTOK OKC nulled, and slow SAH. Usually this points to KKIM gospel
huxter in Albuquerque, but not today (yet), instead WMVP in Chicago; others
thence still propagating such as the 1200 Spanish. WMVP day pattern goes mostly
east, but with lesser lobe to the west unlike at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1050, April 11 at 1223 UT, YL with calendar of events in Sedalia,
atop the QRM, i.e. KSIS in MO, non-direxional with 1 kW day (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1140, April 11 at 1226 UT, `La Que Buena`` slogan by SHVA,
Mexican music. Is this KCXL Liberty MO during its sunrise Spanish service? Or
is it KLTK Centerton AR, previously heard in Spanish with slogans ``La M?s
Mexicana`` and ``Radio Las Am?ricas``? Suspect the former, based on following:
Searching on ke buena ktlk leads to a yellowpages.com listing for 105.5 in
Rogers AR, but the WTFDA FM Database has no 105.5 in Rogers itself, nor any
Arkansawyer with such a slogan; and none of the 11 AR stations (including 5
translators) are in the NW corner near Rogers.
Of course, it could really be across a border in MO or OK. KLTK`s website, not
easily found, but locatored as
http://www.lasamericas1140am.com/
does not include Ke Buena or Que Buena among its slogans. Autolaunches audio so
I let it run a while, and at 1740 UT hear an ID for ``1380-AM, Radio Las
Am?ricas, para todo Tulsa``, also something about perros. 1747 UT alternate ID
as ``Radio Las Am?ricas, 11-40``. The website has nothing visible about 1380 or
Oklahoma, but months ago we were also hearing 1380 mentioned on 1140, so must
be simulcast on KMUS as suspected. Yes, found website of the same design for
that also with a doggy subtext:
http://www.lasamericas1380am.com/
which also autolaunches audio, and where there must be such supermarkets too.
Yes: four of them in Tulsa, and one in Rogers: tail wagging the dog? (Is there
a 105.5 around Tulsa or Muskogee? NO.) At 1801 legal ID in accented English for
``KMUS, Sperry-Tulsa, Oklahoma``. Then local news headlines for Tulsa, and for
Arkansas by same announcer, Carlos Ra?l Paredes. But I digress. Back to
regional-Mexican-music at 1804.
YP info could well be outdated too. Wikipedia is way outdated for KLTK 1140,
indicating it`s newstalk in English. Radiolocator.com shows studio address not
in Rogers or COL Centerville, but on Walton Blvd in Bentonville AR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
