** ANGUILLA. 11775, University Network remains off the air as it has been all week, at 1809 UT check April 22. At this hour DGS could be heard on WWCR 13845, whew. Still off around 2100, so no ACI to RNA Brasil on 11780. Aw, shux, 6090 is back on at 0120 April 23, // WWCR 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Checked WRMI 9955 for signs of jamming April 22 at 2041, but neither jamming nor WRMI audible. The latter may be signing on at 2100, when WORLD OF RADIO is scheduled on Thursdays, but by next check 2124, nothing but jamming noise/pulsing was audible on 9955; meanwhile WOR had been confirmed by webcast as running on WRMI. Thanx a lot, Arnie! No jamming anyway on WWRB 3185, UT Friday 0330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. R. Kuwait was heard on new 15540 for the 18-21 English broadcast on April 19, not checked 20, heard again April 21; checked April 22 and --- it`s in Arabic, instead! At 1805 news with musical stingers, good but fluttery signal.
Is English back on 11990? No, that is still vacant. 1818 still in Arabic on 15540, ditto 2015; at 2100 5+1 timesignal, fanfare and news in Arabic; frequent mentions of Amerikiyah, and arraiz. 2108 same fanfare news theme but cut off the air before it could finish.
Typical unreliable operation and now we have no idea what their intent is; was it Arabic by mistake today? English on some other unfound frequency today only or henceforth? English on no frequency? It`s right around sundown before Friday, so a weekend variation? And what about the onetime morning English at 0500-0800: is it anywhere now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ runs both 7415 and 9330-CUSB weekdays at 18-19, but 9330 usually cuts off shortly after 1900, frustrating those starting to listen to WORLD OF RADIO on Tue, Wed or Thu. However, Thursday April 22 after confirming that WOR had started at 1900, on our portable in a parking lot we could also hear WOR 1509 concluding at 1929, ID, plug for new clients, and WBCQ starts Amos & Andy, 9330-CUSB still on the air. A good thing too, since 7415 was just barely audible out here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Sporadic E observations on nearby HF stations April 22: 13845 WWCR was inbooming at 1406 UT, but at next check 1809 it was not, back to normal. At 2043, 15825 was inbooming during country music show. TV-FM Skip log showed lots of VHF activity in the morning, but not in the afternoon.
15610, WEWN very strong at 2044, and thus adding its mushy spur to WYFR 15600 in Romanian; also detectable on 15620 with BFO on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, WJHR audible at 2045 April 22 with perpetual preacher, probably with sporadic E-assist as WEWN was very strong on 15610, WWCR on 15825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
