This is more like it, WI5V: ``28.266 VK4RST C SAINT GEORGE, AUSTRALIA 5W, VERTICAL New 1 December 2017 (SWL David Vitek)`` -- presumably Qsld -- I don`t know about VK-land, but US call areas are meaningless as hams move around and retain old calls.

Longtime // 6165 seems gone for good: At 0256, it`s the TRT IS instead prior to its English not for us but Asia, and its higher pitch chirps tinkle ACI against WBCQ dead air on 6160-. Previously 9700 seemed to be RHC`s replacement but that`s not on at 0300 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, April 10 at 1515, RHC Spanish is S9+5/10, maybe atop Spain? which starts at 1500 weekdays. This RHC frequency of course is normally tarde-only. Mistake for 11760? That and 15140 are both AWOL, nominally the only midday channels. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, April 10 at 0614, JJBBA carrier from R. Kiribati, and no other 9/kHz splits below 1220. I caught another airing of the documentary on PBS -- certainly fleshes out a country beyond our JBA carriers! Shows considerable sympathy for its sea-level-rise situation, but nothing very substantial to compensate; Pres. Anote turned over to a successor who in a PS was said to be dismantling his climate policies! Possible solutions: floating countries or undersea ``skyscrapers``. Meanwhile one woman migrated with difficulty to NZ, and government was seeking to buy enough land on a Fiji island to relocate the 100K citizens. Did anything come of that? but would risk diluting Kiribati Kulture (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17470 & 17480, April 10 at 1513, two signals around here again imply Deng? Welat and ``Radio Recep`` jammer are failing to coincide, so why bother? 17480 is stroonger with S5/S8 talk.

WORLD OF RADIO 2185 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday April 9 at 2000 UT on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR, with only lite CCI presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England. Listened to 2015 to confirm we were not cut off after 10 minutes this week, and hope the remaining 14 minutes also aired. Preceding music show until 2000 is on the NEXUS-IBA sked as `16 Gwendoline Street`. What does that signify? Googling leads to some real addresses in NZ, Australia. Also confirmed UT Monday April 10 at 0038 the 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA S7 direct and noisy. Not confirmed UT Monday April 10 at 0300 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9/+5 into Maryland SDR which is DEAD AIR from 0256 tune-in until 0340! Something`s messed up at Monticello.

I`m listening on DX-398 nulling KSAL as much as possible. At 0605 some tinkling bells which could have been an else liner. But 0610 I finally copy JBA Morse code as VVV VVV VVV DE KSEN, and repeated several times. First few minutes might have been talk indistinguishable from the QRM. So that`s it: no need to listen another bihour. Besides, I already QSLed it on November 8, 2020: https://www.w4uvh.net/KSEN1150DXghQSL.pdf (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.
