** BRAZIL. 6180.03, April 9 at 0031 check, RNA is finally back in whack, almost
on-frequency, good modulation, no self-spur het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, April 9 at 0003, surprised to find bigsig S9+20
here from RHC, somewhat overmodulated and distorted with hum, and it`s in
French! Not // 5040 in Kriyol. Still on at 0032, but mostly hum atop music now.
17730 in tentative A-16 sked is at 11-15 UT only; in B-15 it`s also been at
2230-0030 to South America, the last semihour allegedly in Quechua; to be
replaced by 15370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE.
9934.95, April 9 at 0021, ERT whiny with music at S9+20; 9420 is unwhiny with
music at S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 9730,
April 9 at 0023, RRI English hour to North America is S9 here, but JBA on //
11800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, April 8 at
1925 check, REE is a JBA carrier instead of bigsig. // 15500 and 15390 also
JBACs. Yet, K index of only 1 at 18 & 21 UT, but following a G1 storm in the
past 24 hours, so not yet recovered. Solar flux at 92 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1820 monitoring: confirmed
Friday April 8 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, poor; and at 2130:30 on WRMI 13695, very
good S9+20. (Jeff White says TOM instead of World Music on 7730 at 0030 April 8
was intentional, but would soon be back to normal World Music, and so it is at
0026 April 9, and thus ready for new WOR airing 48+ hours later). WOR 1820 also
confirmed Fri April 8 at 2329+ on WBCQ, 9329.9-CUSB, fair. Next:

** U S A. 7489.90-AM, UT Sat April 9 at 0002, William Tell
Overture, but no Allan Weiner, as he warned last week: subbing are cosmikdebris
and Jane with a bit of music to start, and then continuous conversation,
assuring us is live on 7490 and 5130 (5129.74) but comparing them, 7490 is
running about one word behind 5130. Jane is recovering from an ankle injury. Cos
recommends 7200-LSB for vulgar and yelling hams; discusses Free Radio Weekly, of
which he is a co-editor: lots of pirate activity the past week (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, April 8 from *2253, S9+10 open
carrier comes on from WWRB; standing by to record their interval signal ---
which starts at 2256, and it`s, it`s --- Radio RSA, from the apartheid era!!
Nice tune ``Wer in de Wereld, Kittie`` on guitar mixed with Bokmakirie bird
chirps. Excuse my Afrikaans if misspelt. It`s like this, without the ID
announcement or anthem:
Plays
repeatedly until 2300:25 when Dave does a quick sign-on and frequency
announcement for 5.050; into music, presumably introducing a preacher; white
supremacist?? Well, why not use fine old or outdated ISes from defunct SW
stations? I wonder if different ones will air on different days? WLIS! (Glenn
