** BRAZIL. Correlating with my non reception Feb 25 of RBC, this from
``Rudolf Grimm, S?o Bernardo SP (GG66rg) / Ibiuna SP (GG66hh),
BRAZIL:
4985 kHz: R?dio Brasil Central, Goi?nia GO, 24/02 1612. Silent.
11815 kHz: R?dio Brasil Central, Goi?nia GO, 24/02 1630. Completely
distorted audio. No understanding of what is being transmitted. Strong
spurious signal on 11960 kHz`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15230, Feb 26 at 1547, S8/S9 of dead air, or trace of mod?
from RHC, where something`s always wrong. The only other active
frequency, 6000 after 0100 in English, was reported earlier this date
by Chris Campbell, Ron Trotto and James Branum with greatly improved
modulation. Chris:
``RHC improvements on 6000 kHz --- Hey Glenn, An insider at RHC
alerted me earlier tonight to try the 6000 kHz broadcast this evening.
I just got home and I have to say after monitoring and logging them
for years, this is the best quality I have heard in a long time. Since
their return, I had been supplying audio samples a couple times a
week. Each was forwarded to their engineer at the transmitter site
(they won't say which one). I also alerted them to the T.O.H. female
news reader with the extreme monotone voice which is impossible to
understand. They took all suggestions well and I was told the
equipment is old but there is some things they are trying. I hope this
continues and they are requesting additional feedback. Regards, Chris
Campbell, Columbus, Ohio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN. 11825, Feb 26 at 0740, classical music, Japanese
announcement, S5/S7 // stronger 7380, which is the only signal between
the Mart?es at this hour. Per HFCC, NHK 11825 at 07-10 is 290 degrees
to CIRAFs 43,44 = China,? while 7380 at 07-08 is 55 degrees to CIRAFs
14,16, = southern cone of SAm in the middle of their night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17755, Wed Feb 26 at 1549, no signal from REE direct, nor
12030, so not on air at all? Oops, on weekdays, no start before 1600.

Arabic, still no 12030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

still NO 12030. News, and 2305 item about Timothy Snyder, American
author of ``On Freedom``, speaking in reverby venue. 2309 Beirut
correspondent about drama therapy. 2313 main feature is interview

** U S A. 5890, Feb 26 at 0731, WWCR is on again // 5850 WRMI, bigsig
asserting that Obama was born in Kenya and can`t be president -- a
moldy oldy from TOM archive, but not the voice of BS. What nonsense,
and what is the point of airing this in 2025y? WWCR-4 is still
supposed to be running 5890 overnight only on Sat & Sun, but this is
Wed. Such an anomaly last noted Jan 30 which was Thu (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
