** ALASKA. 7355, March 30 at 1248, trying to hear KNLS English hour as now scheduled: only a JBA carrier under residual Cuban pulse jamming against nothing else. // 6045 presumed KNLS with JBA signal. This summer, KNLS is not using any band above 9 MHz except for one Chinese hour at 08 on 11885. Other English: 08 on 9655, 10 on 7355, 14 on 6075 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA [non]. 9395, March 30 at 0200, mystery solved! WRMI with R. Tirana IS/theme and sign on in --- Italian! So that`s the station I was hearing the past two nights. I`ve notified Christian Milling, of the intermediary shortwaveservice, hoping he can get this straightened out, and back to English (Glenn Hauer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395 // 9455, UT Friday March 30 circa 0130, RAE English via WRMI very good on both, but at 0158 fading when filling with VOA News on Oldies stream, cut off before finished for ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 4835, March 30 at 1229-1234, very weak but some rock music audible, presumably Ozy Radio, NSW; also a SAH I suppose from Sikkim. How many Hz are they apart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11670, March 29 at 2332, RHC with S9+20 of open carrier, dead air, instead of English the other day. Then at 2334-2338, I check the other RHC frequencies:
11760, S9+20 dead air
11840, S9+20 dead air; also weaker parasites 11830 & 11850
11950, OK with `Mesa Redonda` alternative
15730, mostly DA, bits of occasional talk audio, language?
15230, DA at S9-S7
9720, S9+10/20, English OK but slight distortion
9640, DA at S9+10/20
9535, DA at S9-S7 with CCI de? CNR1 jammer vs RFA Chinese via Kuwait
6000, `Mesa Redonda` OK, S9+10/20
5040, S9+10 English, with hum, slight distortion
Something`s always wrong at RHC.
6000, March 30 at 0457, RHC English is just barely modulated while
6165 is merely undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7435, March 30 at 0447, R. Martí confirmed here instead of 7365, presumably during the 03-05 block only, and still // 7335. Some jamming still on vacant 7365, while 7435 is way over the noise. By 0531 recheck the RM pair are back on 7335 & 7365, while there is still pulse jamming on vacant 7355 & 7435 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 5917.475, March 30 at 1251, Voice of Freedom drifted down to here; seems they play a lot of music for a clandestine: maybe K-pop is hoped to do the trick for the Northies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 790-, March 30 at 1221, world news mentioning ``Noticiero Grupo Fórmula``, loops SW or WSW, making rumble het from the low side with other 790s such as Arkansas which is gradually gaining. Must be XENT, La Paz, BCS tho there is one other Fórmula, 250 watts in Guadalajara. IRCA Log 2015 had XENT as 10/0.75 kW; WRTH 2018 as 5/0.75. Only one Mexican, XEBI Ags is in the MWOffset list, and it was exactly 790.000 in 2009y. Stalwart 650 XETNT Los Mochis was also in from across the Gulf (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6905-USB, March 29 at 2339, unID, music with heavy beat, on and off; 2343 brief AM carrier and off. Peskies in Spanish are usually here but on LSB, and some heard a few hours later. Maybe this was a broadcastish pirate testing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 4020-USB, March 30 at 1241, MARS net, contact between 7DP and 7DT, then AFA7DT formal ``closedown, out``. Hard to search out any recent info on AFA7DT QTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7375, Friday March 30 at 0447, `VOA International Edition`, good at S9+10/20, and no residual Cuban jamming either. Not enough hard world news to cover, but a music segment at the moment. Aoki/NDXC shows 04-05 UT M-F is BOTSWANA in Shona! But HFCC shows English at 350 degrees ---
And would you believe also registered on 7375 this hour in A-18 by MBR via Nauen is something in Croatian?! What are the chances of CRZ ever resuming an external SW service? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

April 14th & 15th // April, 21st & 22nd. SW transmissions (including WOR, of course) will continue from the last weekend in April. Best wishes from the HLR team, Thomas Vöklner``

** U S A. 5129.8, March 30 at 0022, no signal, WBCQ BS must be off. Nor at 0543 check. 5129.837, March 30 at 1343, back on and still barely propagating over daypath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15555-USB, March 30 at 1400 tune-in, gospel huxter already underway from WJHR, S9. First time heard in weeks on random daytime bandscans, suspected sporadic. Last log of it in DXLD was Jan 14, 2018 at 2030 by Rick Barton, AZ. My own last log was Nov 14, 2017 at 2123 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, March 30 at 1200: 774 first checked as always, can`t get definite DF so probably both Australia and Japan.
