updated March 29 for A23
[includes Romania updated since original March 29 version]
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CHINA [non]. 11880, March 29 at 1520, no signal from CRI English
via Cuba as appears in one unofficial A23 schedule at 1400-1600. First
one hour, then the other, were eliminated several years ago. Now there
is something S5/S8 in language, per HFCC TWR Swaziland at 1500-1530
daily in Somali, extended Sat/Sun to 1545. Could be long path. CRI
here would also be inconvenient for Romania in German at 1400-1500
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 12120, March 29 at 0644, RHC YL in English, S8/S9 vs RTTY,
CODAR. 2 x 6060, checking since at 0634, 6060 was only RHC still on,
S7/S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, March 29 at 1518, S9/S6 of dead air from RHC, while
the only scheduled //, 15140 is S8 and modulated but suptorted.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 17460, March 29 at 1514, S9/+10 two signals
clashing making fast SAH, at the moment Turkish jammer and Denge
Welat; one or both could jump anywhere else up to 17480 at least. Site
for DW still not certain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, March 29 at 2107, dead air from SNR`s NAm frequency
-- hey, that`s a step up from no signal at all yesterday! Still thus
at 2200 for token Wednesday English, but 15520 is sufficient altho
aimed exactly away from us toward ME! I`m listening direct on the
DX-398 portable with reelout. 17715 for SAm also audible with
modulation. 2207 feature is all about Shostakovich`s satirical opera
``The Nose``, after short story by Gogol, now being performed in
Madrid. Interviews one tenor who sings seven different rôles. Outro by
YL presenter with an uncopied name neither Amy Egan nor Hélena
Rigobert (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAJIKISTAN. Re: ``13809.966, March 27 at 1518, JBA talk off-
frequency. HFCC A23 shows at 1500-1700, USAGM Chinese Mandarin via DB
site. A jammer would probably be more accurate``
Just repeated at 2130 UT March 29 on PBS Create channel via OETA-3:
``Get Fly. Follow world traveler Ernest White II as he travels the
earth, building authentic connections along the way.``

``Fly Brother -- Tajikistan: Crown of the World
05/14/2021 | 26m 42s | Video has closed captioning.
Ernest experiences the natural beauty of the country and the natural
warmth of the people, as his friends, tour guide Mohammed Istam and
rock climber/ media maven Nigina Kudratova, show what makes Tajikistan
so special.``

This channel has lots of good travelogue shows, armchairish

** TURKEY. 11785, March 29 at 2200, 2230 and later chex, NO signal
direct from VOT English, so I have to listen to SPAIN instead. Ho hum,
erroneous at Emirler yet again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 17700, March 29 at 1513, big S9+10/20, bit of
Qur`aning? and non-Arabic talk. HFCC shows USAGM in Hausa = VOA at
1500-1530 daily via SMG VATICAN. Another 1530-1600 M-F only switched
to Woofferton UK. Furthermore on 17700: 1600-1830 Sat only, BBC Hausa
via ASCENSION. First thought it might be Algeria ex-17600, but that`s
reconfirmed during this span on 21550 ex-17600 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
