** BRAZIL. 6180 & 11780, April 2 at 0058, both RNAs are still missing for
the thirteenth night in a row (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
CANADA. 6070, April 2 at 0113, CFRX with M&W talkshow, blasted away by
splatter from overmodulated 6060 CUBA; all I can make out is a mention of
``auditions for Avengers``, and an iHeartradio.ca app plug. I was going to try
to confirm whether CFRB is still carrying a computer/tech show, `Geeks &
Beats`, Friday and Saturday nights: was 0104 UT Saturdays and 0004 UT Sundays
(repeat?), so I have left it on the latest DX/SWL/MEDIA programs for the time
being. Website no longer shows a complete program schedule, just certain
``Shows``, and no mention of G&B now on a weekend at either:
So
can anyone confirm whether CFRX still has this on at any time? BTW, I have
removed `Into Tomorrow` like WWCR has from its program schedule (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COLOMBIA. 5910v & 6010v, April 2 at 0044,
both HJDHs are missing, not even JBA carriers on clear frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. 7730, UT Sunday April 2
at 0045, VG WRMI with long list of MW & SW logs; all seem correct altho
pertaining to B-16, but lacking in detail. 0054 outro as Italian SW Panorama
from Marconi Radio International, carried by IBC Radio, via WRMI; 0055 on to
MFSK32 beeping as usual for final pentaminute; IBC has now been converted to
English, and appears to qualify as a DX program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6940.0-USB, April 2 at 0035, soul music at
S9+25, still 0055, finally 0104 Wolverine Radio ID inserted, still 0115. Mostly
on the PL-880 portable with reelout, sufficient while the bigrig is
bandscanning. Always the strongest 42m pirate here, this time compared to 6950
RFW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB,
April 2 at 0034, pirate music at S9+5; 0044 ID for Radio Free Whatever; 0108
acknowledging reception reports probably from HFUnderground; 0109 looking for an
ad to play before next music, but can`t find it. Several other logs here:
I
mostly heard him on the PL-880 portable with Lithium Ion battery power, so
qualifies for the ABDX Coordinated Monitoring Event. Meanwhile another pirate on
6940, and competing music shows on 3215, 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun
April 2 at 0041, WRMI amid `Wavescan`, usual poor signal on this frequency, as
Jeff is quoting last week`s WORLD OF RADIO about R. Tirana quitting SW, and then
a 1990 clip of it via Jonathan Marks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, April 2 at 0059, WWRB with paranoid gospel huxters at
S9+45, revealing that the Qur`an is anti-Christian, and criticizing someone for
saying that the Sabbath is on Sunday. They keep going past 0100 when WWCR cuts
on with steel drum, sign-on and into `Martha Garvin`s Musical Memories`. The two
Tennessee stations keep on clashing at about equal levels until Dave finally
says retune to 3195, at 0101 and off 3215. That`s an improvement over the
45-minute collision this winter. Fortunately this can only happen on UT Sun, Mon
& Tue due to WWRB`s 3-night-a-week schedule.
3195 comes on at *0102.5
with carrier, shortly ID, `Wonderful Words of Life` hymntune, but soon more
huxtering. Hey Dave, why don`t you just broadcast on 3195 only and dispense with
these quick-changes, not always successful, to share 3215 with WWCR?? 90m will
be replaced by 60m, 5050, sometime in A-17 but not yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 5085, and parasitic spurs circa
5072 & 5097, UT Sunday April 2 at 0103, WTWW has just started `Theater Organ
from the Ozarx`, with Bob Heil playing via huge S9+50 signal. (Meanwhile, 6145,
The Mighty KBC via Germany reads only S9, but too poor for its music. All
Eurosigs are degraded tonight, even Romania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 7505, April 2 at 0107, WRNO is on with soul music at
S9+40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6930-USB,
April 2 at 0035, JBA music at S7 = noise level; don`t think there is a carrier.
I`m looking for R. Piraña Internacional, from South America, which notified me
that they are running all-night from 20 to 14 UT until April 3 or 4, with 10
watts, or PEP of 40 watts. I find two other unID logs at same time from NY and
MA, and they say all the music by Cream. Was that it, or something North
American? One says it went off at 0053:
Here`s
the note from RPI, which I posted ASAP to the DXLD yg:
``We are now into
the last days of transmissions from our South American site. We have received
several reports from very faraway. That is impressive taking in mind our very
low power! Only 10 watts carrier (aprox. 40 PEP). We have besides from South
America, received reports from the USA, Germany, Finland and New Zealand! We
continue to Monday 4th [sic] of April when closing down will be around 14 hours
UT. Sched: 6930 kHz 2000-1400 UT
