** BRAZIL. 6010+, May 11 at 0103, Brazuguese mentioning saudade, até méia-noite. Poor signal but in the clear, no hets and no carriers from Colombia or México. So it`s R. Inconfidência, while their // achieves only a JBA carrier on 15190+, both slightly on the hi side. At 0133 however, there is enough signal on 15190.1 or so to make a // modulation match, not that there was any doubt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 6090-, May 11 at 0106, it`s my lucky night for Brazilians, as Anguilla is off again; jazzed up ``Workin` on the Railroad`` tune, 0106 full ID for R. Bandeirantes, São Paulo, with all their ZY- calls and frequencies. Slightly on the lo side. 11925 is also audible at 0144 but with the usual big het, presumably IBB Kuwait to Afghanistan at 0030-0230, because Brasil is off-frequency, just like it also is on the third SW channel, 9645.3v, not checked tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11915.0, May 11 at 0143, fair signal, no het from Brazilian in the clear, unexpected timesignal to 0145:05, torch song by YL in Brazuguese tho it could have been in English. So R. Gaúcha, Porto Alegre, one of the more unusual ones here on 25m. Also audible: 11925v stronger with het; 11855v, 11765v, and of course 11780. 11815 RBC has not been heard for several weeks, nor the other ones listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 11670, May 10 at 2102, AIR is weakly audible, presumably news in English, as RHC hasn`t come on yet; tho on 13740, sign on from *2100 with frequency list including 11670; among the others, RHC 11840 is muffled and distorted. Not until 2106 do I notice that RHC has come up on 11670, with AIR suppressed underneath it. Tnx a lot, Arnie!
12165, May 11 at 0123, poor talk in English vs double or triple CODAR swiping; fades in and out. O yeah, yet another extra frequency from RHC, matching modulation on soft 6000 plus loud 6165. I can hear 12165 on both the PL-880 and DX-398, and I think this is transmitted sum rather than receiver overload but not positive. My streetlight ignites with a burst of RF as I am rechecking 12165 at *0142 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 7391-USB, May 10 at 2105, Oklahoma Navy MARS net, NNN0YCJ and NNN0AZO discussing weather, etc. AZO has rough modulation. Previously heard `YCJ on 5004.5-USB, Nov 21, 2013 at 0103. `AZO is Billy and `YCJ is Mike P. Baker (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1720 monitoring: as feared since WTWW-2 had been off all day, and for several days, no signal on 9930 (or 5085) for the Saturday May 10 2330 UT airing.
Confirmed UT Sunday May 11 after 0030 on WRMI-14, but as often happens it`s a replay of the previous week`s 1719. After intermittence on 9475 and staying on as late as 0141, WTWW-1 is back on 5830 with VG signal for confirmed airing of WOR 1720, UT Sunday May 11 from 0400:53; and no breaks in transmission heard to 0430. Next: UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, May 11 at 0035, the WTWW-3 frequency is back on, now with Brother Scare, formerly on WTWW-2, 9930/5085, which has been missing all day and for several days. 12105 had also been off for quite a while until now.
Now WTWW-1 is also missing from 9475/5830. But at 0115, I find 9475 back on, day frequency at night, with SFAW music, and still at 0141 as well as 12105 BS, VG signals so far. By 0358, 12105 is still on but faded to poor level; while sometime in the interim, 9475 has moved to 5830, very good for WORLD OF RADIO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Latest HFCC as of May 8 does NOT have HRI registered on this frequency! Nor does the FCC A-14 schedule. Nor is it here: http://www.whr.org/Frequencies.cfm so apparently a last minute booking for this very special event, and probably a dry run for the big one on May 25.
