Just heard them at 0510 in Spanish but can confirm that there was nothing an
hour earlier.
Last night I noted an abrupt cut at 0501:30 during English. Nothing heard for
at least the next quarter hour.

RHC was up this morning at 1159:30 UT on 6000 khz in Spanish with a good
strong signal, with less than perfect modulation, but a listenable signal
nonetheless. I did not hear them at the same time the day before.

** ALGERIA. 15140, Feb 27 at 0726, S4/S5 JBA carrier - first thought
it might be RHC afternoon frequency testing, English at 2000 not heard
for months - but EiBi shows Ifrikya FM, Ouargla on 15140 from 0700,
not in Aoki. At 0729 also have JBA carrier on 17600, the B?char
frequency from 0700. Springish propcons starting to appear (Glenn

My further monitoring Feb 27: VG Spanish at 0520 on 6000, still at
0608, 0706, even 0717+ direct at S9+45 good mod level but slight
distortion. If this be only frequency they can run at night, sensible
to split it English/Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2284)
** CUBA. 15230, Feb 27 at 1551, S6/S8 carrier, now with some suptorted
modulation seeming Spanish, so RHC improving slightly (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** JAPAN. 15280, Feb 27 at 0727 S6/S7 music, 0730 Japanese; NHK
scheduled 0655-0950; also a Sound of Hope channel, so subject to CNR1
jamming but none of that now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

1930-2030 to previously scheduled.
I tuned in yesterday (26 Feb) and, yes, the 1730 broadcast is still on
air until 2030 UTC. Very good reception on 12120 kHz and 15190 kHz,
especially at first (9925 kHz much weaker here). They still announced
