** BRAZIL. 11815 & 11745 poor and 11710 very poor, distorted crackling spurs
from 11780.1v, RNA/RNB are still audible, March 5 at 0700 check. You can hear
how bad they were the night before in the clip I have included on WORLD OF RADIO
1763 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9200, March 5 at
1343, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter; no others in this range, and this one
is gone an hour later
12910, March 5 at 1437, CNR1 jammer, very good;
none in the out-of-band ranges of the 10s, 11s, 13s, 14s, 15s, 16s,
17s.
15745, March 5 at 1441, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter, //
12910

** CHINA [non?]. 9585,
March 5 at 1341, surprised to find CRI English here next to Australia 9580, and
a few words ahead of the Cuban relay on 9570 which is very undermodulated.
Unlisted in latest HFCC or Aoki; site?? Previously had been hearing Iran`s
Japanese service on 9585 at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, March 4 at 2059, RHC with brief announcement in
English! presumably linked into the 11760 feed, IS several times and dead air:
carrier stays on past 2127, presumably the whole hour break until resuming at
2200. What a waste! While countless Cubans survive on food rationing. Note: look
for 1-hour shifts earlier in some RHC programming, especially Spanish, from
March 8, as daylight-shifting is imposed in lockstep with Yanqui Imperialism,
and a so-called international service fails to stick to UT yearound (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL [non]. [9395 [non]], 0530 UT
March 4, Israel Radio`s morning news in English delayed one hour from 0430
(local time announced: 6:30), via WRN, via Global 24 webcast as no longer
associated with WRMI. All about guess what? Bibi`s speech to a joint session of
the US Congress, interfering in the internal affairs of what should be his
greatest ally.
0545 WRN ID and on to Vatican Radio (still not RNZI as on
the Jan 1 WRN schedule). So never mind my attempts to get Israel Radio
recognized as a revived SW broadcaster by this very indirect means. Then the
webcast was also removed by WRMI. Global 24 hopes to make a comeback somewhere
else. It would be nice if they kept the webcast going meanwhile! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 5985, March 5 at 1344, Sea Breeze is
still here and still in English on Thursday, customary YL voice talking sadly
about North Korea, poor-fair. We also get English on Thursdays at this time from
R. Nikkei, 6055, fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
OKLAHOMA. 1640, March 5 at 0706 UT, KZLS Enid-Hennessey-OKC is open carrier/dead
air. Also earlier, trying DF from some other spots around the house gets correct
direxion toward east of Hennessey, unskewed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 11920, March 5 at 0157, music prelude? 0200 into
RTI relay in Spanish mentioning the WRMI relay frequency later, 7730. This is
the first of a 3-night test as possible replacement for France, where relays are
being terminated at end of B-14. RTI publicity failed to give the site, but WRMI
says it`s them. Fairly good here but fading down before the hour is over. (I
believe I misstated date for this log as March 6 on WOR 1763) (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15570, March 4 at 2052, big open carrier,
no doubt Greenville warming up for 2100 English broadcast on 15580, in order not
to interfere with another VOA site using it until 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
