** AUSTRIA. 11880, March 20 at 0603, S5-S8 music with flutter. Not //
6000 so not RHC error. Aoki shows AWR in Arabic via Moosbrunn at
0600-0700. With the First Day of Spring! overnight hi-latitude MUFs
beginning to perk up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13130, March 20 at 1458, JBA carrier with Doppler flutter,
CNR1 jammer; also a tad better with music on 13020 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 11660, March 20 at 1459, Chinese and VOA closing
with YDD, S9+10 via THAILAND, mix with other music from CNR1 jammer,
timesignal 1500 and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165, March 20 at 0641, HC English VG now after France/Japan
collision until 0630. Also still on good 6100, and less good 6060 with
hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, March 20 at 1456, weak music S7-S9 with Doppler
flutter. Hooray, KBSWR so-called N American service is beginning to
show on First Day of Spring at 1533 UT. Their totally bonkers
frequency management keeps it here yearound, lost in space all winter
but maybe somewhat listenable by midsummer: 13-14 English, 14-15
Korean (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 6185-, March 20 at 0640, XEPPM with fado music amid its
eclectic, you-never-know-what format; S9+10 sufficient but wish they
could keep the modulation louder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RUSSIA [non]. 1395 kHz, March 20 at 1802, R. Svoboda still here,
via ARMENIA; S9+10 but heavy ACI unless narrowed from much stronger
1386 // Russian via Radio Baltic Waves, LITHUANIA, monitoring via
Khimki, Russia SDR. Ironically this MW funded by Shortwaves for
Freedom. 1395 remains on past 1900 switching to TOMBS cult, as IDed at
1926 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** RUSSIA [non]. 9370, March 20 at 1858 tune-in via Khimki, Russia
SDR, R. Svoboda already on the air like MW 1395, here S9+15/20 atop
presumed VOA Thailand which goes off 9370 by 1900 leaving novosti from
R. Svoboda in the clear. Wonder how early on air today, 1830? to
compensate for late 1930 start yesterday? Still suspected Gavar,
ARMENIA site like 1395. By 1935 some singing is interspersed on 9370
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K O G B A N I [non]. 13865, March 20 at 0608, English news about
Ukraine, mostly American accents; could it be VOA? Of course not! Aoki
shows BBC via VATICAN during this hour; and also 13865 05-06 via
Madagascar. With the First Day of Spring! overnight hi-latitude MUFs
beginning to perk up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
