Next broadcast at 1600: audible on 11760, S9/+20 but noisy, s/on claiming 0800 on 6100, 1600 on 11760. 15140 had also secretly applied but is off as usual altho as previously logged was active at night. At 1534, Ron Trotto, IL, was hearing RHC Spanish on 15005, but not when I checked after 1600. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

This of course amounts to a pirate broadcast.
