** CUBA [and non]. 11800, May 1 at 2255, NF of RHC is S9, but just barely modulated in Spanish: far better however than the parasites on 11790 & 11810. I am checking whether there will be a collision with Romania in Spanish already on 11800 at 2300? I do not hear any IS from it before 2300, but by 2301 there it is: weaker signal underneath leading to about the same low modulation level as RHC.
11700 was the other RRI Spanish frequency, but RHC forced it to QSY, to 11990, where I also JB hear RRI now that 11700 is vacant of both! Can it be coincidental that these two keep colliding. The Cuban Commies surely have no respect for countries which have overthrown the yoke of Communist oppression -- and even assassinated the dictators.
Or is it merely Cuban incompetence, picking a frequency already occupied by another station in Spanish to Latin America? Anyhow, RRI might as well move back onto 11700, if Cuba does not: better wait a while to see how this shaxe out. Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, Aoki/NDXC still shows RRI 23-24 Spanish on 11700 & 11800, while EiBi has it right, 11800 & 11990 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 7380, May 1 at 2256, RHC music at S9+20/25, instead of 11880, where it had kept the 2300 English so far since the DST shift. Wolfie had been expecting this alternate frequency but reports today:
``A-3 antenna HRS4/4/0.8 RJ 130degr -30degr slewed SoAF azimuth 2230-2300 11880 BAU 100 100 SoAf Portuguese Africa today again Portuguese, not Spanish like on May 1st instead. Every day new RHC irritations. 73 wolfie``
But at 2256 when I had 7380, 11880 was NOT on; had it just switched? He means today = UT May 1; May 1 = UT April 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.13-AM, May 1 at 2310, JBA rock music, het from local 6950.0 JBA KCRC 5 X 1390 sportstalk. These say it`s Captain Morgan Shortwave: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66398.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-USB, May 1 at 2308, pulsing rock music like record stuck in groove --- remember that? S5-S6. More reports as unID, but last one before 2327* says sounds like Radio Olah??: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,66399.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA. See CUBA [and non]: RHC collides with RRI on 11800
** TURKEY. 9830, May 1 at 2230, VOT is on today and better signal than usual even into the PL-880 portable; mixture of music and station promos in English; by 2252 it`s S9+15 on the JRC; 2254 YL sign-off claiming as usual we have been listening to the 1230-1330 broadcast on 15450! What does she know? Something`s always awry at Ankara. Keeps going into IS; 2256 pause and restart IS, inserting German IDs twice a minute, so we`re in for a bonus. Timesignal ends 5.5 seconds late after 2300, elaborate sign-on in German but chopped off the air by 2300:45*. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.045v, to 7490.050v, from 0030 to 0057 UT Saturday May 2, `AAAWWW` on WBCQ, also on much weaker 5130.04; and medium 6159.96V which has a het from a station closer to 6160.00. I knew this was going to happen as soon as we had the new Ramadan-extra schedule until May 25 from IRAN: 0023-0120 for all those Turx who want to listen to those Shiites, up in the middle of the night for early-breakfast, 500 kW at 298 degrees per Ivo; around 0030 AW starts to read a long article from Radio World about Lee DeForest, radio pioneer. 0057 just a bit of e-mail before 0100 cut to Hal Turner.
I was also listening to the first few minutes on 7490 webcast; it started out JBM but blasted on as I was about to try 5130 webcast. A&A acknowledges it`s May Day; and soon Angela is too hot in Florida and takes off her shirt in a coy radio strip-tease. But John Carver took it as Allan taking off his shirt: ``Tonight's show started on time on 5130 and 6160 and a few seconds later on 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio in Fla. Opens with Allan taking his shirt off as it's hot in the studio. No mention of what Angela is wearing. Allan states that at least in this country radio listening is still more popular than streaming and that radio will continue to be more popular for years to come. First phone call at 0012 from Freddie with reception reports on the three frequencies. Then Allan stated that he had filed a complaint about Iran interfering and colliding with 6160 from about 0020 to 0120. Phone call from Freddie again at 0019 saying he would check on the interference with 6160. Freddie yet again at 0023 reporting that there is indeed a collision on 6160.
Back to talking about radio in general and how it will always be superior to the internet. Allan then reads an article from Radio World about Lee DeForest. Reading of emails at 0051 and closing prayer at 0059 cut off at 0100. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Re this: ``1350+, May 1 at 1206 UT, somestation far enough off+frequency to make a LAH - low audible het, with dominant from NE, presumably KRNT Des Moines; but this one loops roughly SE/NW: two most likely culprits are KCOX Jasper TX and WWWL New Orleans LA, both with 5 kW day power. But 5+ years ago in mwoffsetts, WWWL was very slightly on the minus side, KCOX unknown (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``
Tim Hall, California, replies: ``In my recordings from the Nevada-Utah border last October. KDZA seemed to be off-frequency high, as suggested by https://www.mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1350 73 Tim``
Yes, I don`t know how I missed that one, fits for DF and plusness: ``1350.034 USA KDZA (Pueblo, CO) 2010-11-12`` --- altho this measurement was 9.5 years ago. BTW, I still associate 1350 with KGHF and 1230 with KDZA. But since April 26, 1993, 1230 has been KKPC.
In their infinite wisdom, the Pueblo market masters evolved an evern more complex callsign history for 1350: [evern = ever and even]
Call Sign Begin Date
KDZA 01/23/2018
KBPL 01/16/2018
KCCY 04/01/2012
KDZA 04/25/2008
KGHF 12/04/1989
KRYT 12/01/1988

1350 was previously KGHF as one of my very first DX catches in 1953 or 1954 from Santa Rosa NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
