Glenn Hauser logs April 29-30, 2021

** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040, April 29 at 0614 check, The Cuban Five are all off already, in English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, April 29 at 1443, RHC is only S4-S5, which may be why there are no spurs audible, if any too weak by comparison. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, April 29 at 1451, RHC is still here, to stay? S9 but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9475, April 29 at 1449, mixture of Chinese and Korean talk and a song, only S3-S5. Scheduled is National Unity Radio from Taiwan site at 1200-1458 per Aoki. Ron Howard reported the same kind of thing 2 + 24 hours earlier:

``National Unity Radio, 9475, from 1249 to 1250 UT, on April 28. Brief Chinese language lesson; started and ended with Joyce Chu singing "Hao xiang ni - I Miss You“; mostly in Korean; a few words in Chinese and a sentence using the words; "Wǒmen Tándélái" (we share the same view or we understand each other); N. Korea no longer jamming this frequency, so nice reception. My audio at http://bit.ly/3xvEgRv .`` Tmx to WTWW hardly ever on 9475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SWEDEN [non]. 15510, April 29 at 1820, VP in African language, fading after 1830. IBRA Radio via Woofferton UK in Fulfulde, 1830 into Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, April 29 at 1443, trace of CW, then fades up just enough to be positive of the K6FRC ID repeating, allegedly 1.8 milliwatt HIFER beacon from Patterson CA; vs slight CODAR swirshing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
