** CUBA. Check of RHC English frequencies, April 11 at 0544+ ---
6145, S9+10,
fair modulation on new frequency, ex-6165
6100, S9+10,
undermodulated

15140, Tue April 11 at 1938-1949, I make a
point of listening to entire RHC DXers Unlimited, in case Arnie talks about
their new frequencies, but he does not. He does start with some genuine DX news
about the new low-power Australian pending on 5055.
15730, April 11 at
2250, RHC on new frequency in French, while 15370 is in Spanish. 15730 is
ex-17730 and scheduled 2230-0030 in French, Creole, Portuguese, Quechua, 50 kW
from Bejucal site.
A schedule from Arnie implies the missing third
broadcast in Esperanto should be at 0000-0030 on 5040 (UT Mondays, presumably,
instead of Creole other days), yet to be confirmed.
Further chex: 6145,
April 12 at 0330 is in English // 6000, unlike R. Rebelde Spanish previous night
by mistake. But at 0539 April 12, 6100 is in wrong language, Spanish instead of
English.
Between 01 and 07, both 6145 and 6060 are from Bauta site, so
that means the leapfrog mixing product should land on 6230, instead of 6270 when
the fulcrum was on 6165. At 0537 April 12, I seem to have a JBA carrier on 6230

``Back in Time: Oklahoma Martyr
Posted by Aaron Morvan on Apr 12,
2017 at 9:25 pm
In the 1950’s, no one would have guessed that a farm boy
from Okarche might someday be named a Catholic Saint. Stanley Rother entered the
priesthood and found his life’s calling at a mission in Guatemala. He learned
the local language and became very close to the people of the mountain village,
but his compassion made him a target.
On a July night in 1981, he was
brutally murdered in the rectory of the church. An American diplomat who arrived
the next day said for the people of the village, "It was as if their god had
died." In September, Father Rother will be beatified in Oklahoma City by the
Roman Catholic Church and is on a path to being recognized as a
saint.
OETA’s award winning documentary series Back in Time looks at the
life and death of Father Rother in its special Oklahoma Martyr.

Kuwait reactivated English service, fair signal with ME music. But I am still
waiting for OG&E to get the line noise removed from S9 level on this and

** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED, 6960.1-USB, April
1 at 0615, something in SSB here with talk, bits of music, so presumably pirate.
First stopped at 6961.75 but hard to clarify, tuning up and down with no carrier
to lock onto, then sounds best at 6960.1, stops at 0619*. Nothing reported
around here on HF Underground or Free Radio Café (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

WREC Radio Free East Coast QSL
Hello
Glenn, Your UNID logging in the recent Free Radio Weekly was indeed WREC; I have
attached an eQSL to verify reception. The broadcast done at this early morning
hour was a DX test aimed to New Zealand which was done by myself and four other
pirate radio ops on frequencies between 6920-6960. Each of us was heard by a
couple of DXers "down under" I am pleased to report! We did the same thing last
summer with positive results, that test was done by WREC and two other pirates,
Channel Z Radio and Captain Morgan. The test done on 4/1/17 involved WREC,
Captain Morgan, WHYP, XEROX and Radio Free Whatever.
As far as I know,
just yourself and the NZ guys heard my broadcast starting at 0530 until 0620 UT.
I didn't see any logs of it on HFU, FRC or FRN and just your UNID log in FRW was
noticed by me. Of course at that late night/early morning hour, most pirate
radio listeners are probably in bed and fast asleep! No email reports were
received here other than the NZ ones for this test. By the way, I coordinate the
UTC hour and frequencies each station will be on, then let the NZ guys know
where to listen for each station beforehand. It was definitely worth all the
effort put into the test and being heard all the way in NZ, as it is a bit over
9000 miles away from my QTH.
So I just wanted to let you know that you
did indeed (somewhat) hear WREC Radio Free East Coast in Oklahoma. I don't
recall that you have ever logged my station before but I could be wrong. WREC
was active from 1992 until 1998, then retired. I reactivated the station in
April of 2015 and have been on with my own programming as well as relays of
other USA and European free radio stations like I did in the 1990s. Take care
and I hope sometime in the future you will be able to hear my station with a
better signal -- (PJ Sparx, Owner and Operator of WREC "Radio Free East Coast",

** U S A. 17775, April 11 at
1822, praise music in Spanish, 1824 KVOH ID with address in LA CA. This is
seldom audible anymore from *1400, but by now today the MUF has built up. Better
signal than 17855 Spain, 17530 VOA-GB, 17640 Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9275, April 12 at 1810, no signal from WMLK,
and not heard for a few weeks --- because of a fire damaging their building and
equipment on March 22, yet another setback. Looks like a while before they will
be back. Could Yahweh be trying to tell them something? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

UNIDENTIFIED. 9635, April 11 at 0818,
S6-S7 open carrier, or just barely modulated. Very likely MALI which is
scheduled to start at 0800 after switch from JBM 5995. Why do they even bother
to broadcast this way? Vietnam-1 is also on ``9636`` long hours per Aoki, but
IIRC they normalized the frequency to 9635 some time ago. Neither to be found in
HFCC A-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
