** U S A. 7489.983V, Monday April 5 at 2300, WBCQ with semirepeat of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot` 25 hours after original full airing, but missed most of it since thru no fault of my own it conflicts with WORLD OF RADIO on the other WBCQ, 6159.93, Sunday at 2200; even if it be last week`s edition. UB doesn`t publicize this airing much but I often find it more convenient. This week starts with music from Solomon Islands, at 2318, ``This Land is Your Land`` with choir and bamboo tuned pipes, to be viewed on his site at disgraced FB. More music to come from Tonga and Vanuatu. Signal noticeably improves at 2325 to S9+10, but chopped off at 2330 for ID and *spot commercial* for Peacock, newish streaming service of NBC. Spot ads are extremely rare on US SW stations, no doubt hard to sell; have heard one or two occasionally on WRMI; and into Camp Constitution Radio on WBCQ. Did CCR have anything to do with the Peacock adjacency, or does it run at random, or BCQ choice? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)-------------
Uncle Bill responds: Glad that some people who are missing the Sunday UBMP are getting half of it on Mondays, but it is just half, and it's not an official repeat - that Monday time slot on 7490 is still up for grabs, WBCQ has been using part of UBMP as filler in the meantime. I don't publicize it because it's not an officially-booked broadcast and again, it is just half the show. But if it helps lead some listeners to the full hour, that's great. I don't think either WOR or UBMP is trying to compete with the other on Sundays - it is the same broadcaster - but for listeners I would call it one of those good problems, a much better one than complaining that nothing is on. For those with one radio and no recorder, those in the mood for great DX news have WOR on 6160, and those in the mood for great music have UBMP on 7490. Those with multiple radios and recorders (which describes quite a few of us I believe) can manage both. Shortwave should have so many good programs that there were more moments of choice like this. 73 to all, On Thursday, April 8, 2021, 06:04:22 AM CDT, Wolfgang Bueschel <dg1...@t-online.de> wrote: CUBA RHC on this Thursday April 8, 2021 5040even RHC English at 05.48 UT - til 06.00 UT, 6000even til 06.00 UT, 6060even til 06.00 UT - but no program audio, only EMPTY CARRIER signal on this channel this morning, best RHC La Habana English audio signal today on 6099.998 kHz from Bauta bcast center at 05.51 UT and the only Cuban English sce left after 06.00 UT, til 07 UT probably.

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 6165, April 4 at 0537, RHC English is back here after 6145 last night; can`t decide which? Hard-soul music during 'Music with a Message', concentrating on 1971 US anti-war era. 6100 is S9+30 but now developing a squeal à la WWCR-1. 6060 is S9+10 not buzzy for a change but distorted. 6000 is S9+30 but lo-fi A/B comparing to audio bandwidth on 6060. 5040 is back in English for a change, S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) CUBA. RHC check at 0455 UT April 5: 6060 Spanish with humbuzz, 6100 Spanish with squeal, 5040 good in Spanish; 6165 // 6000 music presumed English service. Something's always wrong at RHC.

The pair of course correlate with Riyadh which per WRTH is now known as SRI = Saudi Radio International, or SBA = Saudi Broadcasting Authority, no longer the legacy BSKSA = Broadcasting Service of the Kingdom of Sa'udi Arabia. And there are no longer any RIY entries in HFCC as they have withdrawn; something to hide? Aoki/NDXC shows these frequencies: 17615 at 0855-1157 & 1250-1557; 17705 at 1155-1457.

Again I think it is R. Vanuatu X3 despite co-channel CNR2 from China, which I assume would have a ToH timesignal and break, right? Also a JBA carrier on X2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Today April 8 at 09.30 UT checked Vanuatu signal, only carrier on JBA tiny level noted at Brisbane-AUS Perseus SDR remotedly, on 3945even, and hx 7890 and 15780kHz, but could be rather some spurious vagabunding noise. 73 wb df5sx -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
