** BRAZIL. 6180.03, April 9 at 0031 check, RNA is finally back in whack, almost on-frequency, good modulation, no self-spur het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, April 9 at 0003, surprised to find bigsig S9+20 here from RHC, somewhat overmodulated and distorted with hum, and it`s in French! Not // 5040 in Kriyol. Still on at 0032, but mostly hum atop music now. 17730 in tentative A-16 sked is at 11-15 UT only; in B-15 it`s also been at 2230-0030 to South America, the last semihour allegedly in Quechua; to be replaced by 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9934.95, April 9 at 0021, ERT whiny with music at S9+20; 9420 is unwhiny with music at S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 9730, April 9 at 0023, RRI English hour to North America is S9 here, but JBA on // 11800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 17855, April 8 at 1925 check, REE is a JBA carrier instead of bigsig. // 15500 and 15390 also JBACs. Yet, K index of only 1 at 18 & 21 UT, but following a G1 storm in the past 24 hours, so not yet recovered. Solar flux at 92 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1820 monitoring: confirmed Friday April 8 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, poor; and at 2130:30 on WRMI 13695, very good S9+20. (Jeff White says TOM instead of World Music on 7730 at 0030 April 8 was intentional, but would soon be back to normal World Music, and so it is at 0026 April 9, and thus ready for new WOR airing 48+ hours later). WOR 1820 also confirmed Fri April 8 at 2329+ on WBCQ, 9329.9-CUSB, fair.

Jane is recovering from an ankle injury. Cos recommends 7200-LSB for vulgar and yelling hams; discusses Free Radio Weekly, of which he is a co-editor: lots of pirate activity the past week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050, April 8 from *2253, S9+10 open carrier comes on from WWRB; standing by to record their interval signal --- which starts at 2256, and it`s, it`s --- Radio RSA, from the apartheid era!! Nice tune ``Wer in de Wereld, Kittie`` on guitar mixed with Bokmakirie bird chirps. Excuse my Afrikaans if misspelt. It`s like this, without the ID announcement or anthem: http://www.intervalsignals.net/Files/afs-z-radio_rsa_1977.m3u Plays repeatedly until 2300:25 when Dave does a quick sign-on and frequency announcement for 5.050; into music, presumably introducing a preacher; white supremacist?? Well, why not use fine old or outdated ISes from defunct SW stations? I wonder if different ones will air on different days? WLIS!
