** CUBA. 11850, April 24 at 0051, very poor S2 in Spanish sounds like RHC ---
yes! A new leapfrog mixing product of 11670 over 11760 another 90 kHz higher,
with // audio, and also // 11840 S9+30 fundamental next to it. A reverse leap
would land on 11580, but that`s blocked by WRMI with Slovakia relay in English.
Hours when both 11670 and 11760 are on from Bauta site possiblizing these
saults: 2300-0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR.
17640, April 23 at 1800-1803, still no comeback from APR via MWV, when
presumably the single operational Continental transmitter is busy on 9570 with
Russian, while African Pathways Radio does usually appear at 0400 on
9480.
9600, April 24 at 0022, gospel rock at S7 from the other English
program via MWV from KNLS Alaska (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6040, UT Sunday April 24 at 0022, The
Mighty KBC has a good S9+25 signal this week, rock music, het from ZY still
audible on hi side. So will it be on 9925 instead from next week, UT May 1, or
the week after? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA.
6935.0-USB, April 24 at 0025, S9+20 classic blues music, no doubt Wolverine
Radio, as confirmed by brief IDs at 0026, 0044. This is even stronger than 6915
WRMIBS, only S9+15 but much less modulation from TOM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, April 24 at 0032, JBA carrier so
presumed R. Chaski is back on air, nothing else scheduled now, but I have other
commitments and won`t have a chance to time the cutoff 0100+ tonight (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 13710, April 23 at
1755, chanting unlike straight Qur`aning, but this is the HQS, S9+10 tied for
the second SSOB to 13695 WRMIBS S9+20, equal to 13605 R. Martí; brief Arabic
announcement before cut off at 1757*. A whole bunch of band/frequency changes
occur at this time from BSKSA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3250.06, April 24 at 0019, JBA carrier from WBCQ`s
latest transmitter. Tnx to tip from John Carver, who had heard TimTron say it
was on the air but without much power. So it`s // him on 5129.91, but that`s
only S8 vs noise level of S5 (while 7489.89-AM, big band music on `Shortwave
Saturday Night` is S9+40; 9329.92-CUSB with Blalock the Blaster is S9+15).
Recheck at 0056, now 90m is better, S7 with music, but there seem to be two
peaks, the other one at 3251.504 but wobbling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, UT Sunday April 24, WWRB is back on, with a
gospel huxter at S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

UNIDENTIFIED. 6946.56, April 24 at 0024, mystery open carrier
makes S9, as the frequency varies somewhat from night to night (Glenn Hauser,
