MYANMAR [non]. 7530, April 4 at 1315, sounder and talk in Myanmarianese,
i.e. Radio Free Asia via Tinian at 1230-1430 per EiBi. Poor with
running-water QRM burst.

** CUBA. 15507, 15438, 15302, 15234, 15166, April 4 at 1320, RHC-FM approx. spurs, all with good audio except the lowest one, out of 15370-AM transmitter. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15590, April 4 at 1325, dramatic W&W dialog in English, something religious? No, it`s just CRI, 12-15, 308 degrees from Urumqi. Heavy flutter S7-S4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** HAWAII. 6501-USB, April 4 at 0634, S6-S8 but distorted modulation, marine weather robot with lots and lots of geo coordinates in the Pacific, i.e. NMO, USCG Honolulu; EiBi shows this broadcast at 0600-0635; frequency time-shared with USCG Kodiak, Guam and Chesapeake. (And some overlapping with XSL Fuzhou Radio, China.) Only other NMO broadcast is at 1200-1235. Mariners must hustle to copy down all the coords and then figure out what`s where. Maybe fax would be more efficient, user-friendly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALAYSIA. 9835, April 4 at 1412, RTM with Qur`an recitation in suspiciously high-pitched voice; long pauses, very poor S3-S5; 1422 announcement. As Ron Howard and Timm Breyel have reported, this is the annual pre-Ramadan competition, open even to females! A TV simulcast, and maybe also on 11665 which is too weak to tell.

Ron reported yesterday: ``9835, Sarawak FM via Kajang (on the west coast of the Malaysia peninsular), 1408-1448, April 3. In vernacular; coverage of the national competition for recitations from the Qur'an (Majlis Tilawah Dan Menghafaz Al-Quran Peringkat Kebangsaan), being held this year at the Putrajaya Islamic Complex; sponsored by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia; series of about 10 minutes of reciting, with both men and women in the competition; very rare to hear women, but they have a women's division in the competition; Being held from April 1 to 6, so there should be more days with this coverage here.``

Timm replied: ``Yes, Ron, this is an RTM TV1 audio feed. Contestants are from around the world. Quariah (women reciters) are among the contestants. This event is heard annually just before the Fasting Month (Ramadan).``

(Which this year 2018 CE starts May 16; schedule for Enid:
https://hamariweb.com/islam/enid_ramadan-timing169263.aspx
and N.B. the angle of Mecca from here is 41.722 degrees. How close to that do you have to aim to be within spex? If you are one degree off, are you less effective, or worse?)

As for the recitations, presumably all must be done by rote memory, but what about the musical notes? Are these also set in stone for each syllable, or is some extemporizing permitted or even possible? Are the contestants judged on their accuracy, or their performance, which implies some individuality? Just how far could they depart from the standard without getting in trouble? The poor heathen tho Abrahamist Christians can have no such equivalent contests, with multiple versions of their Bible and in multiple languages. Can you imagine the cacophony?

** MYANMAR [non]. 7530, April 4 at 1315, sounder and talk in Myanmarianese, i.e. Radio Free Asia via Tinian at 1230-1430 per EiBi. Poor with running-water QRM burst (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9540.059, April 4 at 1412, very poor S1-S3 talk, bet it`s VOT in typical plussy offfrequenciness --- yes, this hour scheduled Arabic, 500 kW at 120 degrees opposite from here. Have they deliberately misaligned all their transmitters, perhaps depending on a defective frequency meter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1924 monitoring: tho 9455 still shows on the WRMI skedgrid as System F at 1000-1100 with a variety of programming, Wolfgang BÃschel was not able to hear it via remote receivers other days, and today, Chris Krug in Tulsa, who normally listens to the Wed 1030 broadcast of WOR, says ``WRMI 9455 1030 UT WOR absent --- Greetings Glenn, I tuned in to hear WOR on 9455 this morning (1030 UT) and heard nothing, not even a carrier. I rechecked at 1130 in case sked was changed for DST, WRMI is on but not a good copy, I hear a YL announcer so I don`t think it`s WOR.`` Next:

** U S A. 7505v, April 4 at 0630, WRNO still on with music at S9-S7 but undermodulated and rough carrier. Ivo Ivanov, Ron Howard and Dave Kenny have been reporting it on beyond the former 01-04 UT schedule, and Mauno Ritola noted the WRNO website now says:

``SHORTWAVE FREQUENCY 7505 kHz 8PM - 8AM CENTRAL`` Also linked to WRNO FB: which exclaims, ``March 28 at 7:00pm  Excited to reach China with the Good News!``

Well, certainly more possible than before 0400! But 50 kW at 20 degrees? Ron Howard confirms extension to 12 hours a day: ``April 4 - Tuned in at 1245, to hear Chinese & English religious song, then with preaching in Chinese; yes, noted 1300*``

HFCC A-18 also has WRNO registered on 15590 at 16-22, an imaginary frequency not used for many, many years, the Joe Costello era, but always in the listings. 7505 could be expanded further between 22 and 16, altho the first hour would now confront IBB Tibetan via Tajikistan and jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490+, UT Tue April 3 at 0100, WBCQ with a recent `Allan Weiner
Worldwide` repeat, and still at 0153 recheck, instead of Blalock the
Blaster, who had been showing more than once in this hour; neither on the
schedule alleging that 7490 close at 0100* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 9395 // 9455, April 3 at 0556, VOA News is good at S9 on both, so
WRMI `Oldies` streams (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475, April 2 at 2014, WTWW-1 is OFF, and so are all the other
four possible frequencies. 5830 also off at 0559 April 3 (while neighbor
5935 WWCR is VG) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA [non]. 9395, UT Tue April 3 at 0202, WRMI still with Radio Tirana in Italian instead of English. No reply yet from shortwaveservice about fixing this, maybe on holiday, but BRIAN POWELL, VK2FBAJ, Sydney, Australia, says, ``I think the issue lies with their feed of Radio Tirana, which I suspect is Radio360.eu. The podcasts I am subscribed to (R. Tirana and R. Havana) have been in the incorrect language since the shift to summer time a couple of weeks ago, so I would suspect that timed recordings at Radio360 have not been adjusted appropriately. R. Havana via Radio360 podcasts has been corrected in the last week or so.`` Another good reason for dispensing with ``daylight time`` (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1924, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, April 2 circa 1930, RAE in German via WRMI; but 2003 check on caradio, in VOA News, so must still be Oldies this hour instead of RAE Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CONGO. 6115, April 3 at 0555, checking for Brazzaville, but no signal; recheck at 0604, now there is a carrier. Maybe signed on in the interim, missed by my itchy finger tuners. On March 30, Ron Howard said he ``just missed sign-on at 0555`` as CCI from R. Nikkei 2, Japan was growing. As we get further into spring and summer, RN2 should be propagating less and less, by Congo about the same insofar as relation to sunrise/sunsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15439 & 15301, April 2 at 1343, these RHC spurs are equally audible in FM and AM tuning, unusual. Fundamental 15370 must be heard in AM only. The second pair out also have some AM, but more FM, 15508 & 15233 [vs 15230]. More at ~69 kHz multiples are blobby: 15577, 15646, 15715? 15163, 15095? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

15370, April 3 at 1337, not on yet so no spurs either. By 1415 is on with all these approx. FM blobs: 15439, 15507, 15575, 15643; 15302, 15234, 15166, 15098, 15040, 14962 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 12140.010, UT Sunday April 1 at 2208, KSDA, AWR with preaching in English, praise music, seems some IADs - intermittent audio dropouts, good S9+10; NOT `Wavescan`. There had been some contradictory info about whether WS was on this transmission, which is not in English every day, such as UT Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRELAND [non]. 5820, April 3 at 1931 via UTwente SDR, a JBA carrier. Checking for RTÃ via Madagascar, as reported from Italy as if it had been reactivated after a couple years. I suspect it`s more likely a Europirate; Wolfgang BÃschel replies:

``Glenn, I asked the pirate group guys now to identify the pirate pop station from Netherlands, many adverts of Holland firms, like Subaru cars in Rotterdam. And "Frank H. Schuettig" replied to that:

Subject: Re: 5820.001 hollandse KÃse-K Sender --- Auf 5820 kHz ist sehr hÃufig der belgische Pirat "Radio 319" zu hÃren (ist sozusagen seine "Stammfrequenz"). Er bringt Ãberwiegend alte Mitschnitte von Offshore-Stationen. Eigene Ansagen sind eher selten. Frank`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9460, April 2 at 2013, poor S5-S8, music mix, hints of German? Must be those umlauts, since by 2057* I can tell it`s TÃrkish (why so many Turx find Deutschland a heimat?) Yes, TRT scheduled here until 2100 per EiBi, but missing from HFCC. Did not notice it being off-frequency-plus as usual from Emirler.

11615.032, April 3 at 2011, music at S2-S4; 2019 talk but can`t tell language; 2023 recognizable TRT IS. So VOT in scheduled French from 1930 to West Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1923 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 1 after 2330 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB, good and stronger than 9265 WINB & 9395 WRMI. Also confirmed UT Monday April 2 from 0303 on Area 51 webcast; and good S9 at 0326 check on WBCQ 5129.81. Not confirmed at 0330 on WRMI 9955, JBA carrier but confirmed on webcast at 0344. And guess what, instead of R. Biafra zombie file at 0400 on webcast only, WOR repeats! Tnx, Jeff. By 0435 World Music. Will have to check other nights what happen: UT Wed April 4 at 0425, entrevista in Spanish. 0431 music; 0530 Slovakia in Spanish!

WOR 1923 also confirmed Monday April 2 after 2330 on WBCQ 9330.3v-CUSB, good, stronger than 9265 and 9395. Also confirmed UT Tuesday April 3 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20. Also confirmed Tue Apr 3 at 2030 on WRMI 9455, poor, 7780 JBA; and at 2130 improved, 9455 fair, 7780 VP. Also confirmed Tue Apr 3 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB, good.
