** BRAZIL. 11780, April 4 at 0147, checking RNA via local ``Brasila``
SDR, again tonight no sign of English/Spanish, but another stupid
ballgame well past 0200, without apology. Richard Langley also
observes: ``And tonight (4 April UTC), I'm hearing what is presumably
Deportivo Táchira (Venezuela) vs. Flamengo (Brazil). So, again no
English/Spanish. Not sure how long these cup matches are going on at
least with Brazilian teams. Looks like after tonight, they take a
break until 8 April (local date) according to the CONMEBOL
Libertadores schedule. Wikipedia tells us "The CONMEBOL Libertadores,
also known as Copa Libertadores de América is an annual continental
club football competition organized by CONMEBOL since 1960." And "The
tournament is named after the Libertadores (Spanish and Portuguese for
liberators), the leaders of the Latin American wars of independence."
11780 kHz stayed on the air past the end of the game tonight. Was
still on at 0230 UT -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 1180, April 4 at 0408 UT, trying to detect whether
R. Martí be on from Marathon FL, checking three S Florida SDRs, music
from R. Rebelde dominates // 5025, but there is QRM from something on
1180. RM is so direxional that even in Miami area it`s hard to hear.
Around Tulsa there is also `jamming` from KOTV 1170 IBOC noise peaking
1183 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 15680, April 4 at 1530, S Asian language and music, S6/S8.
HFCC shows KSDA, 100 kW at 285 degrees going from Kannada to Telugu
during 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, April 4 at 0547, RNZP is VG S9/+15; not only
the only station on this band, but virtually nothing to be heard on
the 15 and 13 MHz bands! K index at 0600 was 4.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 92.1, April 4 at 2045 UT on caradio, ``Heart & Soul 92.1
and 1140 AM``, translator K221FQ in OKC of KRMP 1140, fairly audible
tho weaker than 95.3 KOKC translator. Listed 99 watts at 0 HAAT (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 11960, April 4 at 0550, RRI English is the SSOB S8/9. It`s
300 kW, 300 degrees from Galbeni for CIRAF 27 = W Europe but also
USward. This 0530 broadcast replaces the 0630 on 11930 in B24 season,
which also came in well despite Cuban jamming against nothing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. USAGM situation, as of April 4, from a reliable
source: OCB may resume broadcasting SW from Greenville to Cuba, but
nothing else on the air, with those in overall charge of engineering
and transmission dismissed. It`s unlikely that the previous
arrangement could be resumed in any reasonable length of time even if
authorized.

The Tajikistan relays ended on April 1, also the FEBC Seoul and Jeju
MW transmitters, and the Djibouti 1431 kHz relay. These were funded on
a quarterly basis and DOGE would not allow them for another quarter.

RFA transmissions via the two SW sites of R Taiwan International have
continued; as have Radio Liberty Russian via Radio Baltic Waves,
Lithuania on 1386 kHz, but we don`t know for how much longer.

WRMI has on schedule R. Liberty in Russian on 15770 with System K,
Mon-Sat at 0400-0430, or is it -0500? per sked, with something called
Voice of Russia, Sundays at 0400-0430. RL via WRMI is presumably at
WRMI`s initiative, unofficial. This could continue if any programming
feed remains available.

Russia, China, Iran could not get rid of broadcasts from USA, but
Trump succeeded in only a few weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7780, April 4 at 0553, this WRMI is off again despite sked,
while a buzzy sound surrounds 7778. At 0558 check, 5010 WRMI is also
off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9839-9853 approx., peaking circa 9848 at S9+15, April 4 at
1540, extremely distorted talk, matching 9930 WTWW with TOMBS on
another receiver, not matching 9980 WWCR TOMBS, never synchronized
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13845, April 4 at 1534, WWCR is JBA here but blasting in on
12160 S9+35, 9980 at S9+50 - a clear MUF sharpoff circa 13 MHz, unless
13845 be underpowered. Yes, this WWCR back on air today, as was 4840
at night, both absent the previous date (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, April 4 at 1543, WMLK is off, unlike yesterday. Could
they be working on fixing the galaxy of spurs every 4 kHz we heard
yesterday? Fat chance, and it`s not even Sabbath yet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 4 at 0552, R. Vanuatu already JBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
