** BRAZIL. 11815, April 11 at 0108, RBC is the best ZY on 25m with music; JBA
carriers on 11934.8 and 11764.6, but nothing on 11735, 11780, 11856, 11925
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6145, after hearing RHC
new here last night in English at 0639, I`m standing by for it to come on April
11 at 0100 which was the start time for ex-6165. Nothing, still nothing until
0109.5 carrier at S9+20 but off at 0110.6*; resumes *0111.9 with a bit of mod,
mostly OC. At 0114 I hear a bit of Spanish, not English. *0115.7 another bit of
Spanish and off again. *0116.7 Spanish music, timecheck for 9:17, sounder of
Radio Rebelde, not RHC! As usual, Rebelde is not on its proper frequency 5025.
6145 on and off at 0118, then on and stays on but with Rebelde which I now make
// 1180 with echo, // 1620 less echo; and ahead of // 670 by about 2 seconds.
0132, 6145 is still Rebelde, not RHC Spanish or English. And 6165 is still
empty. Another check at 0315: 6145 still // 1180 Rebelde, 6165 still empty.
Every day there is confusion at Radio Cuba, but even more so around seasonal
rejiggering.
7340, April 11 at 0127, RHC Spanish is S9+25 here! // 6060
an echo apart, // 9535 with no echo. I believe this is the first time ever that
RHC has used the 7 MHz band, in keeping with Arnie`s ``holier-than-thou`` stance
against out-of-band broadcasting (jamming is quite another matter, cf. 7365,
7435.)
11670, April 11 at 0109, S9+25 of dear air, except with maximum
volume I can barely recognize Spanish from RHC; meanwhile, 11760 is nominal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13605, April 11 at 0106,
multiple pulse jamming vs nothing, long after R. Martí is finished; likewise
11930 with harder pulse jamming, while RM is really on 6030 & 7365 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9572 & 9588, April 11 at
0112, approx. peaks of hash out of the 9580 CRI English relay transmitter, also
QRMing its own // 9570 Albania relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** PERU. 4824.48, April 11 at 0055 tune-in, very poor carrier,
cut off just as I measure it at 0056.5*. Presumed La Voz de la Selva, Iquitos,
carrying out an evening test this date only, as notified in advance by Alfredo
Cañote, Lima, so then I also posted to the DXLD yg:
``DX Friends: La Voz
de la Selva de Iquitos, located in the Peruvian Amazon region, will have a
special transmission TODAY April 10th
testing the 5 kW transmitter, 4825 kHz,
from 22 to 01 UT. Daily regular transmissions from 1030 to 1400 UT. Reception
Reports to:
danteencina@hotmail.com 73!``
I
await confirmation from others of the exact frequency now, but already from last
summer we had this: ``4824.49 Perú, La Voz de la Selva, Iquitos 2350 to 2355
noted with slightly better signal in Spanish, always weak here 26 August (Robert
Wilkner, Pómpano Beach, Florida, 746Pro, Drake R8, NRD 525, dxsf 1981 - 2016,
NASWA yg via DXLD)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU.
5980, April 11 at 0102, no signal from R. Chaski, so looks like they have reset
the autotimer again, requiring me to tune in no later than 0059 to retrack its
slippage. 4824.48 presumed Perú, 5025 Quillabamba carrier and 5910 Colombia are
propagating well enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI
LANKA. 11905, April 11 at 0114, JBA carrier on from SLBC, trace of prélude music
and 0115:03 mis-timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S
A. 7615-USB, UT Tue Apr 11 at 0124, Texas CAP net with Big Bend 2 called,
Triblade 15; NCS finishes each with a beep. No doubt will be over in time for
Station YHWH if he wants 7615 circa 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1872 monitoring: confirmed Monday April

** U S A.
6115, April 11 at 0059, I notice WWCR is signing off for QSY to 3215, so I
hasten there to hear WWRB cut a gospel huxter off in mid-word, no QSY advisory,
at 0100:05*. About 10 seconds later, *0100:15, WWCR cuts on 3215 with interval
signal; whew, just in time. Then retune to 3195 where WWRB is soon on with
carrier at S9+45, ID but no frequency announcement, music and join/rejoin `Heart
and Soul of America` broadcast. Standard remark about no need for such
switcheroos other than to amuse me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LITENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505, April 11 at 0124, WRNO is back with YL gospel
huxter in English instead of Chinese, S9+45 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
