** ANGUILLA. 11775, Sunday March 24 at 1814, ``Clap Yo` Hands`` gospel tune, a welcome respite from PMS pontificating, but she`s back already at 1816 saying ``Good Morning`` to some congregation in California. Are they listening to The Caribbean Beacon? BTW, don`t expect MW 1610 to come back as it was operating in violation of low-power limitations (never mind there is no such restrixion in Canada) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 7546, March 24 at 1438, a JBA carrier is here apparently as additional jamming to VOA Cantonese via Philippines at 13-15, hit directly by CNR1 jamming on 7545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7435, March 24 at 1440, popsongs in Asian language, then announcement in Russian, i.e. CRI as scheduled this hour only in Russian, 37 degrees from SZG site, i.e. toward DVR and onward USward, still the SSOB except for 7490 WWCR blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, March 24 at 0526, RHC English is S9-S8 but just barely modulated; 6100 S9/S9+10 and JBM; 6060 good mod S9+20 vs Algerian Qur`anRM via FRANCE; 6000 S8 and suptorted; 5040 rough modulation S9+10/20. Arnie Coro now in his other program as ``science editor``, `Breakthru` spoken at normal pace by more or less normal voice; suspected and old repeat recorded some time ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13756.582, Sunday March 24 at 1449, since all the QRDRM from WINB 13750-13760 is silent weekends, I seek out the second-order spur from RHC 13700, whose first order spurs are easily detected at plus and minus 28.288 kHz, thus x 2 would be 56.576 --- close enough, 6 Hz away! margin of error or may well fluxuate that much from day to day. I finish the measurement just in time before 13700 and its parasites all disappear at 1455*. The first-orders were also in but not remeasured today. If, as Ken Zichi alleges, DRM reception cannot tolerate the least bit of QRM, this tiny spur should be enough to ruin WINB when it`s on, even tho I could not detect it then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, March 24 at 0010, hard rock music at S9/+10, 0015 YL ID ``Best of shortwave radio at Mix radio International``. I couldn`t help but notice that this was stronger than WBCQ 5130.48v at S9, incomparably better than JBA 3264.9v, altho about equal to 7490.18v.

** U S A. 2097.3-CW, March 24 at 0310, beacon A clearly audible, one Morse letter every dekasecond. Based on some references, we have been attributing this to Quartzsite AZ, but Steve McGreevy in the Mojave says it definitely is not, unknown exactly where but in Q. only a skywave signal is received (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6175, March 23 at 0528, no signal here unlike 24 hours ago a French-influenced African language. Likewise March 24 at 0525 check. Something getting a head start on A-19? Nothing scheduled then either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
