Okay, thanks Ivo,
I guess the Gavar technician realized
that their powerful 300 kW TX unit
doesn_t match proper on the lowest 31 meterband channel of 9300 kHz,
so they made a late move +30 kHz little higher on 9330 kHz now.
Both S=9+35dB signals in eastern Thailand remote unit:
9330 even kHz TWR India via Gavar site, 13.30 UT April 1,
1315-1600 UT on various languages during each day of the
week different, see nice Aoki Nagoya database list.
300 kW TX and curtain antenna of #238 ITU type,
AHR(S)4/8/1.0
mean 4 rows horizontal dipols,
8 lines vertical dipols,
1 = height above the ground in wavelengths
HR = a reflector behind.
and a similar service in 31 mb too, came across of
9910 kHz even, TWR India too, also via Gavar Yerevan site,
at 13.45 UT April 1st.
Awadhi language on Mondays, acc Aoki Nagoya database list,
Mondays 1345-1400 UT.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** ANGOLA. 4949.732, April 1 at 0132, JBA carrier, presumed RNA on
signature off-frequency - checked just as I am mentioning on 9395
during WOR that Ron Howard had found them missing. Also an even weaker
carrier close to 4950.0, likely AIR Srinagar, Kashmir --- neither in
HFCC but in Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 328 kHz, April 1 at 0617, dash and YTL from NDB beacon at
Big Trout Lake, Ont., 1000 watts. Really remote, fly-in only in NW
Ont., beyond Pickle Lake, almost 90 west, 54 north. 2031 km = 1262
miles from here. Also got three de USA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7355, April 1 at 0042, wall-of-noise jamming
against no Mart?, which seems jamfree on 7335 // 7365. Way to go,
incompetent DCJC on first day of new season! HFCC A-19 registrations
for IBB in Spanish from Greenville-B, which mean precisely nothing but
RM:
23-03 7365 00-07 7335 00-12 6030 03-05 7435 05-07 7365 07-10 5980
10-13 9805 10-14 7335 12-14 7365 13-20 13605 14-20 11860 M-F
14-24 11930 20-24 9565
We sincerely hope this non-classified info assist DCJC to jam correct
frequencies and no others! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0049, RHC English is instead S9+20 of dead
air; while 6000 has undermodulated music at S9+10/20. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11670, April 1 at 0100, RHC news theme for Spanish is S9 but
JBM, much softer than 11700, 11760, 11840 and its 11830/11850 spurs.
Spain is now scheduled on 11670 until 2300 so will those ever collide?
Not sure when RHC start, where something always be wrong (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, April 1 at 0544, RHC English survey during music: this
one is S9-S6 and JBM; 6100 S9+10 suptorted; 6060 S9+20 slightly
distorted and Algerian Qur`anRM is gone! 6000 S9/+10 JBM and
distorted; 5040 S9+30 about like 6060.
Rechecking at 0606+, 6165 JBM; 6100 undermod; 6000 OFF; 6060 & 5040
both with CCI --- no it`s not, rather undercurrent during voice-over
translation, self-QRM! When will SW stations ever learn to fade the VO
down completely once briefly established?? Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 4764.999, April 1 at 0327, R. Progreso VG signal measured
here with margin of error of 2 Hz at most. And it matches 5025 BFO
pitch. Anker Petersen, Denmark has been reporting this as 4765.02,
such as March 24 at 0330, but I have never noticed them that far off
in BFO 1-kHz-step bandscans. Some of his other logs such as Eritrea
and Mali appear to be measured +.01 or +.02 too high. Please check
receiver calibration vs WWV or the like (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7180.024, April 1 at 0325, JBA carrier, presumed VOBME,
but nothing on other channel 7140+; nor still inactive Somaliland 7120
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN [non]. 12005, April 1 at 1418, SW Asian music S7-S8, from
Radio Farda, eastward from Woofferton at 13-18 (also Lampertheim at
11-13) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 9625, April 1 at 1420, Japanese lesson for English
with arpeggios, as NHK 1400-1430 is now here, due west from PALAU.
Ignore all the South Africa listings on 9625 still in HFCC A-18 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI. 5995.000V, April 1 at 0550, R. Mali is already on with song
of lament in French, S9 and best heard yet. 0556 apparent switch to IS
repeating; 0557 military-band NA, sign-on in French I copy partially
vs distraxions, including ``Ici l`Office de Radiodiffusion T?l?vision
du Mali, ?m?ttant de Bamako,`` and decades-outdated frequency list
including 4783 and another on 60m! And 92 MHz FM (four-score and
twelve). With BFO, frequency wavers very slightly. By 0602 is in non-
French, probably Bambara. Anker Petersen, Denmark, has reported this
on 5995.02, such as March 25 at 2120, but again I think his
measurement is way off. Please calibrate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 5980, April 1 at 1416, RNZI is poor S5-S7 on new
frequency, bad for us. Maybe usable somewhat from *1259 if the Cuban
jammers be turned off in time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6889-USB, March 31 at 2227, folk/rock song at S3-S4,
not rechecked until 0038 April 1 when it`s off. Already at 2232* per
several logs of this pirate as Evergreen Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,52472.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7420, April 1 at 0043, Balkan music, good S9+20; at first
imagined Greece ex-9420 or mistake? EPT is usually silent early UT
Mondays; in fact this is the RRI Romanian service now, as spoken at
0054 and // 9790.
7375, April 1 at 0044, RRI English now here giving schedule during a
mailbag, much stronger than // 6040 at 0048 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also SAO TOME 6080
** SAO TOME [and non]. 6080+, April 1 at 0548, VOA news magazine in
English, S9+20 but with fast SAH CCI. We already know Pinheira is the
one off-frequency, but now the collider is RRI in English, 300 kW to W
Europe and USWard at 0530-0600, also French 0500-0530, while VOA runs
04-07. How is this acceptable to HFCC?? Surprised RRI be the
understation, but that may change with conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9830, March 31 at 2225, VOT in English, S8-S9 with flutter,
back on always-A-season frequency to North America at 22 instead of
5960 at 23 in Bs. No RTTY now, but 9830 fully occupied earlier in day:
we can only hope it will always quit by 2158. Will Emirler knock this
one off to 9830.7 at times too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K. 7300, April 1 at 0040, sounds like BBCWS in science magazine,
now about LEO satellites, S9/+10. 0058 wrap up `Science in Axion`,
0059.5* chop off. HFCC shows Woofferton eastward this hour only.
Offers a decent chance to hear in its long-abandoned N American target
area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 245 kHz, April 1 at 0612 UT, ND beacon FS is JBA! Is at
Rock, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, 400 watts per dxinfocentre. LW storm
noise level is unusually low so I take advantage for some sleepytime
beepery.
293 kHz, April 1 at 0615 UT, ND beacon FBY, which is 25 watts from
Fairbury, Nebraska.
329 kHz, April 1 at 0618, ND beacon PMV, 25 watts from Plattsmouth,
Nebraska (a flood area, I think). Also logged one from CANADA, q.v.

** U S A. 7490.15v, UT Mon April 1 at 0045, sacred choral music, S9+10
on `Encore` from Radio Tumbril via WBCQ. Brice Avery in Edinburgh is
disappointed in lack of listener response to his new WBCQ broadcasts,
in the form of QSL requests. Lack of any listing on the outdated WBCQ
program schedule, nor any publicity on its website, surely do not
help. Still showing for UT Mon 00-01 on 7490 is `Shoot the Darn
Messenger`. He welcomes music requests and has had much better
response to broadcasts via Channel 292 in Germany. Let`s show him some
support! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Area 51 webcast flowed on, UT Mon Apr 1 at 0400 after HRI
and WBCQ 5130v presumably closed down --- with `Church of the
Subgenius Hour of Slack`, reveling in how many F-bombs could be
exploded on internet only. I had thought that show was a bit more
erudite (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, April 1 at 0050, WWRB reactivated on A-frequency with
politico-gospel huxters at S9+40. Likely the only frequency in use, no
more 3185 or 3215; unless some Ugandans give it another try (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505v, April 1 at 0541, WRNO is S5-S9 of dead air; in
Chinese or English? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST
