** ANGUILLA. 11775, April 13 at 1406, no signal from CBB with PMS or DGS; ho,
hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, April
13 at 1359, Bangladesh Betar IS, poor signal, but plenty to audiblize its
mistimesignal ending today at 1359:47, opening Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGST)
** CHINA [non]. 15700, April 13 at 1401, CRI English via
CUBA, with noise from self-imposed crackling --- antenna wires shorting in the
breeze? A recurrent problem, one of countless at the Cuban sites. I compare to
same program not crackling on 17630 via EAST TURKISTAN [not Mali], and find Cuba
is two seconds behind (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA.
15730, April 13 at 1325, 1400 chex, no signal from RHC on its newest frequency
which started and was heard yesterday. So much for that. 15370 and 15230 are
propagating well with contentious speech from Raúl; also 15700 CRI after 1400.
RHC not back on 17730 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CUBA [and non]. 7405, Monday April 13 at 0605, R. Martí is on, plus
wall-of-noise jamming; likewise 6030 with even heavier comparative jamming. So
much for the Monday morning silent period 03-09 UT, which we observed a biweek
ago as A-15 started, and which was confirmed in HFCC as 6030 and 7405/5980 were
daily except 03-09 UT for Day 2. The latest edition dated 13 April still shows
this, but effective as of 3 April rather than 29 March --- anyhow, no longer in
effect, despite out-date still shown as being 24 Oct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** FRANCE. RFI resumes English on SW: April 13 at 0559
on 13725, fair signal, I am surprised to hear RFI introducing a ``Paris Live``
broadcast in English for Monday 13 April, still past 0602 -- mistake, wrong
feed? No, apparently escaping our notice until now, RFI has registered four
English broadcasts for A-15, all from ISSoudun, azimuths a variety, each a
different target:
06-07 13725 170
16-17 15485 85
17-18 15690
160
18-19 5985 345
As in:
Perhaps
from a few months` relay via Global 24, RFI discovered there is still an
audience on SW? Mike Cooper had heard them online announcing new English
broadcasts at 14 & 16, but said nothing about SW. Now Mike replies to the
above news:
``Glenn: Thanks for pointing this out. I have been able to
listen to "Paris Live PM" through the RFI English audio stream. The
English-language hour airs at 1400 and 1600 UTC. The RFI English feed carries an
hour of RFI Musique at 1500 UTC.
Given this schedule, I don't know what
"English" RFI would be broadcasting at 1700 and 1800 UTC, though it's possible
they would just rebroadcast the 1600 UTC English hour.
In listening, I
have found that the "Paris Live PM" broadcast is largely a regurgitation of the
earlier English broadcast, with little new content. In fact, I have heard some
news packages repeated several times in the same hour.
The last hour of
the morning RFI English broadcasts is repeated on the
English internet
stream, meaning that I can listen from 1300 to 1500 UTC and hear a repeat of the
last hour of the morning English broadcast and then hear the first live
broadcast of "Paris Live PM." -Mike``.
But beware: RFI previously
registered as own English, broadcasts which were really TAIWAN relays, now
cancelled? Ivo Ivanov replies: ``last 3 transmissions are former Radio Taiwan
International broadcasts in A-14 -- 73! Ivo Ivanov`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING

** PERU. 4790-, April 13 at 0612, presumed R. Visión, now with
some music audible amidst the CODAR, and carrier still shaky (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7345-SSB, April 13 at 1307, NNN0HZS
calling station after station in a Navy MARS net, last three of call always
fonetikally so certain. Has some weak carrier from a broadcaster partly
demodulating it (CNR1 Beijing and/or Myanmar), but need BFO too. NNN0HZS is
apparently a substitute or relay for the NCS. Yahoo search on call goes nowhere,
but switching to Google gets a single one:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1768 monitoring:
confirmed new time of 2100 Sunday April 12 on WRMI 15770 (and this time
something else on 7570: I was able to hear both on the G8 inside the Enid
Symphony Hall during a performance of `Pirates of Penzance`; helps to be on the
fifth floor balcony not far from windows). WOR also still Sunday at 2300 on
11580 WRMI.
Tried 5109, WBCQ circa 0200 UT Monday April 13, and it was
just barely audible, but sounded like Johnny Lightning. Listening instead to
Area 51 webcast at 0302, wrong WOR 1767 starts playing, last week`s edition, and
continues to 0331 or so.
Even discounting storm noise level, 5109 must
be from a much weaker transmitter than the previous one closer to 5110 (and
having heard Brother Scare at various early and late hours on 5109, I check
April 13 at 0610, but now appears to be off.) Next WORs:
Tue 1100
WRMI 9955
Wed 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB Hamburger Lokalradio
Wed 1315
WRMI 9955
Wed 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB Hamburger Lokalradio
Wed 2100
WBCQ 7490v
Thu 0330 WRMI 9955 [or 1769 if ready in time]

12:
11825 after 2300 with Jazz, so apparently `from the Left`
5850 after
2300, `Democracy Now`, like Saturday, this weekday-only program is replaying
