** CUBA. 15140, April 20 at 1240, RHC is S9+10 of dead air, while 15230 successfully modulates. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN
** CUBA. 7380, April 20 at 2101, strong open carrier, off in less than a minute. Must be RHC transmitter check, an hour ahead of the 22-24 UT broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 13575, April 20 at 1242, soft song with guitar, maybe in Chinese, since by 1255 it`s CRI saying ``do svidan'ya``, about to close Russian service, 500 kW, 308 degrees for Europe this hour only. At S9 it`s the second SSOB after Cuba back on 13740.0 today (and 13700 not on yet) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LITENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, April 19 at 2228, rock/rap music, het maybe local notched, past 2235, S8. More unID logs here, maybe Radio Gaga until 2238*

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5900, April 20 at 0327, TOMBS is S9+10/20, // not synchro with 7570 WRMI, non-BS speaking English. On this frequency surely it`s BULGARIA, altho as of April 5-6, Ivo had reported:
SECRETLAND Brother HySTAIRical TOM is no longer on shortwave via SPL Secretbrod effective from March 31
1500-1700 on 11600 SCB 100 kW / 306 deg to WeEu English
1700-2000 on 9400 SCB 100 kW / 126 deg to N/ME English

2000-0300 on 5900 SCB 050 kW / 306 deg to ENAm English
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2019/04/brother-hystairical-overcomer-ministry.html as of April 20 also shows all the SCB relays as inactive including 5900 between 2000 and 0300 (not 0300+).
So what is the span now? It`s always changing, going & coming.
On the contrary, current EiBi shows no BS on 5900 but rather:
5900 0300-0315 G Bible Voice Dardasha-7 A ME /BUL-s
5900 0315-0330 G Bible Voice Dardasha-7 A ME /BUL-s
On the contrary2, while NDXC/Aoki says:
5900 0200-0215 BUL BIBLE VOICE BCN Radio Da Ara Kostinbrod( 1-7
5900 0215-0230 BUL BIBLE VOICE BCN Radio Da Ara Kostinbrod( 1-7
But also with x for off the air:

5900 2200-0200 BUL x The Overcomer Ministry Eng Kostinbrod( 1-7
HFCC A-19 has 5900 available 24 hours from ``Sofia`` aimed toward W Europe and USward:

Overcomer Ministry`s own schedule not updated since February! has 5900 Bulgaria at 2000-0300 not for NAm, but Europe/Middle East/Israel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 19 at 2233, no signal from VOT English to North America; surely would be audible if on, like 9420 Greece at S9+25! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 20 at 0324, WRNO back on for a change, in English, S7-S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 9705 > 9800 > 11630, 1957 UT April 19, JBA carriers on frequencies publicized for ``Good Friday`` special from Vatican Radio, a different language on each but for Africa only and totally useless here. Ditto Saturday April 20 at 1857 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 14270-USB, April 20 at 2150-2155, simplex DX contacts, pileups alternating with the target station, frenetic pace with heavy French? accent. Maybe gives his own call occasionally but cannot understand it, HB9- or HP9? His would-be contacts, all Americans, never utter his call, just their own, a sorry breach of etiquette. One should not have to search a DX cluster for ID, but I give up after seeing nothing current on this frequency. Bye-bye (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
