** ANTARCTICA. 15476, April 13 at 1257, 1325 and 1357, not even a carrier detectable from LRA36 --- However, Bruce Winkelman in Tulsa was hearing it a bit earlier, at 1206-1215, and Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec in Embu, SP, Brasil, the day before at 2035-2102 --- so still testing, or what will their complete new schedule be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BONAIRE. 6250, April 13 at 0526-0527* song // much stronger signal on 6080, which is NHK Spanish relay, with 6080 leapfrogging over 6165 RNW Dutch which always goes off at 0527* sharp, thus eliminating the fulcrum. Still need to look for the dozen other Bonaire leapfrogs at various other times as previously computed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [non]. 21490, surprised to hear gospel huxter in English, April 13 at 1331 with over-dramatic delivery, sounding almost like a parody, saying the devil`s phone number is 666-4355 (=HELL, hee hee); 1334 outro with address in Ohio given about five times: Ed Bousman, P O Box 511, Lynchburg OH 45142; ``God is just a prayer away`` book of gospel bible lessons available free; 1337 Bible Voice Broadcasting ID, Toronto address. 1338 says is to Eastern Europe; 1353 still in English, cut off at 1400* sharp as another gh is saying ``the apostles . . .``
Must be brand new frequency, as have been checking 13m frequently around here for Hamada 21480 --- see NIGERIA [non] --- and never noticed a trace of it before today. In fact, not listed in latest HFCC. Seems BVB often runs programming at odd times rather than hours or quarter-hours. Maybe a test. Fair signal but less than Hamada via Wertachtal. Site for this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake April 13: still nothing heard 8-18 MHz between 1305 and 1325. Propagation conditions still have not recovered from yesterday`s geomagnetic storm at G1 level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6050, RHC English absent April 13 at 0536 check as DXers Unlimited is starting on usual 6010, 6060, 6150. Can Arnie finally have found his heart and eliminated 6050 QRM to HCJB starting before 0100? More likely another transmitter failure, but we`ll see subsequently (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 21580, RFI, April 13 at 1329 with ad for Jeune Afrique, hebdomadaire, cut off abruptly at 1330* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 11875, April 13 at 0523, YL in English with ACI from WEWN 11870. Normally nothing heard here, but HFCC shows DW via SOUTH AFRICA, 0500-0530, 250 kW, 5 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 21480, Hamada Radio International, April 13 at 1347 carrier via Wertachtal, 1400 starts promptly today in Hausa.
The WRMI website schedule has now been updated for A-11:

But DX Mix News says the 0530 is on 11970 and 9610 ex-9545, and I am not sure that all three are really 7 days a week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. 21655, RDPI is the SSOB, April 13 before 1400, as 13m has recovered somewhat, also Spain 21540, 21610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
