** CUBA [and non]. 13605, March 31 at 1401, Radio Martí is S9+20 unjammed, having just made the totally predictable A-season switch from 13820, where the wall of noise remains. Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, March 31 at 1425, China Plus relay in English on NF for A-19, ex-15700; S9+20 and somewhat undermodulated as required. Earlier, Wolfgang Bueschel had accumulated the A-19 sked for these relays, via Quivicán site:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9630, March 31 at 0553, RNZI with C&W music on NF for A-19, S9+10, the SSOB by fair, virtually the OSOB, and ex-25m is essentially dead. No het, as R. Aparecida, Brasil, has been missing from 9630.5v lately, but it`ll be a hetmess should it resume! A bad pick for RNZI, now sked daily 0459-0658; then 5945, and from 1259 on 5980 as yet unchecked here. RNZ National program times within will shift one UT hour later on April 7 when NZ go off wacky DST of UT +13. At least that match DST offdate in Australiaparts now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 31 at 0610 UT, KZLS ``Enid`` is dead air; by next check at 1400 UT has added a big hum, but still no programod (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185-AM, March 30 at 1731 on caradio, loop of ``Happy Birthday to You`` by amateur pianist, occasionally interrupted, but still/again going at 1930. Our local Enid CB pirate (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7320-7325-7330, March 30 at 0551, DRM noise at S5, now RRI as scheduled 0530-0600 in English, plus 0600-0630 German. (WINB is also registered for same DRM frequency span at 07-09 M-F, 07-10 Sat/Sun) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA [non]. 7285-LSB, March 31 at 0441, VA5AA calling CQ contest, before Radio Sonder Grense would be on here anyway, but still no RSG at 0550, RSA SW gone for good. Others noted its finale on 3320 a few hours earlier. So NAmhams get a frequency back. QRZ.com shows VA5AA is: Mason John Hnatiw in REGINA, SK S4V 1V2 Canada --- that`s Witanh spelt backwards (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9515, March 31 at 0306, VOT English to N America at S9-S7. I had no luck for the earlier broadcast March 30 at 22 or 23 on 9830 or 5960, so this is my first A-19 QSY confirmation. Surely this will sidekick to 9515.7 at times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 15180, March 31 at 1430, YL in SW/C Asian service? at S2-S4 but one of few signals on band. HFCC A-19 shows it`s IBB in Uzbek this hour, 300 kW, 80 degrees from Woofferton UK, i.e. Radio Liberty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1974 monitoring: Manuel Méndez, Spain, reports: ``6190, Hamburger LokalRadio, Goehren, *0700-0800, 30-03, English, ID “Hamburger LokalRadio”, programs “Media Network Plus and “World of Radio”. 25322``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reports: ``GERMANY, Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 6190 CUSB, March 30, Edition 1974, instead of 1975, due to medical distraxions of Glenn Hauser
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/03/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on_30.html

0631-0700 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg CeEu English Sat, from April 8``

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1975 monitoring: not confirmed, Saturday March 30 at 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB; monitoring via UTwente, inaudible, altho earlier circa 1520 I thought I heard a trace of Keith Perron during MN+. 

Confirmed Sat Mar 30 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, poor S4-S5; also confirmed UT Sun Mar 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good. Also confirmed UT Sun Mar 31 at 0318 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, S9+20, about 3 minutes in so started close to nominal 0315 this week. Next:

UNIDENTIFIED. 4774.975, March 31 after 0600, romantic? song at S7 vs double-CODAR swooshes. I seldom pull any modulation here. First thought is Brasil or Perú which insist on colliding with each other; but if you believe Aoki sked, neither would be on between 04 & 07. Instead, TWR English is on 4775 until 0700 --- but Manzini sunrise was already at 0403 today, surely too late for them. So I refine the frequency (and maybe there is a second carrier almost the same), which points to S America. I found one report of TWR only 8 Hz low, while here`s a typical comparison of Brasil and Perú by Carlos Gonçalves from June 2016y: ``PERU 4774.946 R. Tarma, Tarma, 2232-2240, 02/6, canções índias; 34433, QRM do Brasil [Congonhas] em 4774.914`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12031, March 30 at 1606 check, the extremely distorted spurblob is finally gone, no QRM to SPAIN. I had been hearing it at various times every day March 26-27-28-29. We may never know what it was (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
