** AUSTRALIA. 9610, April 4 at 1325, S8-S9 in S Asian language saying
``@twr.in`` so it must be TWR-India, via?? NO, scheduled is Reach
Beyond Australia on 9610 in Hindi until 1330 Thursdays. Could RBA be
secretly carrying TWR programming, or did I mishear? A bit more S
Asian talk and music follows (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA [non]. 15120-15125, Thu April 4 at 1403, I can tell WINB
hybrid DRM is on, but VP S4 about = noise level. This must be the new
Unique Radio transmission at 14-15 Wed/Thu/Fri. Tim doesn`t say what
the program is --- his own `Sounds of Your Life`??
BTW, NIGERIA could also be DRMing circa 15119.9 as early as 1600 in
Arabic, as reported by Ivo Ivanov; while WINB is scheduled until 1700
M-F, so a head-on collision is possible. I wonder what will happen
then? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11855.693, April 4 at 0535 JBA carrier, no doubt an
apparition from Aparecida back on air this overnight, and the OSOB
except for weak 11520 WEWNglish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 341 kHz, April 4 at 0549 UT, dash and YYU ND beacon, 500
watts from Kapuskasing, Ontario, one neat name. Town website says,
``Did you know? Kapuskasing means "Bend in the river" in Cree``. Also
logged a USA station on same frequency, different pitch, q.v. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, April 4 at 0520, RHC is S9+20 of dead air in English;
6060 is S9+20/30 good modulation of music in Spanish; 6100 S9+20/30,
undermodulated but sufficient to hear; 6165 S9+10 undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, April 4 at 1858, S9+10 open carrier from RHC about to
start algo at 1900? Nothing known before 1930 French to Europe. Is
this something wrong? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, April 5 at 0534, RHC English S9+10 JBM here; 6060 S9+10
good mod; 6100 S9+20 undermodulated; 6165 S9+10 JBM; 5040 S9+20
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Also suffering from local
high line noise level at S9 on this and lower bands! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15230, April 5 at 1402, RHC is S8-S9 but just barely
modulated; while 15140 is only S7-S8 but sufficiently modulated. But
by 1651, 15140 is suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6070, Thursday April 4 at 1348, two carriers
making fast SAH, CFRX vs Sea Breeze, JAPAN, as I can almost recognize
its earnest YL in English; as Ron Howard reports, presumably // on
5920 vs Voice of Freedom, which are VP here. At 1405 I am hearing CFRX
only on 6070-minus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9630, April 4 at 0516, RNZI is much weaker
than usual, in fact about equal to the het from 9630.48 R. Aparecida,
Brasil. Due to local storms I am on the internal longwire, but don`t
think that should make much relative difference --- if anything,
Brasil should be weaker on it.
9630, April 5 at 0532, RNZI back up to S9+10 tonight, way atop the
still audible Aparecida het to the plus side.
5945, April 5 at 1330, RNZI still on here with music instead of 5980
after 1259, then 1332 YL about Solar System; S9+10 including local HNL
of S9, still detectable past 1400. Perhaps coping with the JSR clash
on 5980? But websked still shows 5980 from 1259 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 4635, April 5 at 0137, notorious buzzer is barely audible;
seems not evenly spaced, occasionally a double-buzz, adding up to
approx. 64 times per minute (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 9690, April 4 at 1853, REE is poor S4-S8 but
alone. Have not heard the tell-tale het from Nigeria-minus lately. Ivo
Ivanov says the other collision on 9690 with MWV Russian at 19-20 has
been resolved by its last-minute change to 9845 (where I get a JBA
carrier at best) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1976, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, April 4 at 1320, no signal from VOT English to
Europe and USward from 1230 in A-19, nor have I been able to detect it
yet past few days; pitiful propagation? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 341 kHz, April 4 at 0549 UT, as I am copying ND beacon YYU
from Kapuskasing, CANADA, another one on same frequency at higher
pitch, much weaker is OIN, 25 watts from relatively close Oberlin,
Kansas, new here. Wait a minute, what about my local on 341, Enid`s
own EI ---? Must be off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday April 3 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S8-S9; and 4 seconds later on
WBCQ 7490.15v, S3-S5.
Missed checking UT Thu April 4 at 0000 on WRMI 7730 while I was at a
planetarium show by Northern Oklahoma College; confirmed at 0125 UT
Thu April 4 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair-poor.

** U S A. 17774.990, April 4 at 1408, absolutely no signal from KVOH
if it opened at 1400, or totally not propagating, as usually inaudible
before noon here. By 1852 it`s S7-S8 poor in music, but the OSOB!
Built up to S9 of Spanish praise music by 1952 when I measure it: old
transmitter was put on 17774.989, so I suspect this is still it,
unless they have managed to tune replacement to the same offset? How
about that, Ray Robinson? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
