The primary focus is on the Azores station, Pico da Barrosa, 87.7 mhz, which has previously been heard in Newfoundland, Ontario, and MA (not by me). Most recently was 2021 This station runs 30kw. An alternative is Iceland on 88.0 mhz which also has been heard in MA(again not by me) and NJ. I am using a Yaesu FRG-9600 receiver and a 10 ele FM Yagi up about 20 feet on a 800 foot ASL hill. Hopefully, this will be a good FM season, although it has been several weeks since I have even logged a station at 40 mhz.

A few days ago, May 12, we had news that CRI had stopped Spanish on SW, to continue only online as ``Onda China``. This has remained unverified, so on May 16 I resolve to check scheduled Spanish broadcasts. 17680, May 16 at 0626, JBA carrier, no more than that, like several others in the nightmiddle on 16mb. CRI only thing was sked, at 06-08 via Kashi/Kashgar, occupied EAST TURKISITAN. Next Spanish scheduled from 2100. Monitoring via UTwente: 7335 is on already in Chinese as scheduled at 2054. 9640 pops on at *2057 with music not // 7335, and at 2059, 9640 talk in neither Spanish nor Chinese, but they are joint from 2100, just more different music. I can`t listen for whole hour, but at 2157, they are both in Spanish, seems to be concluding a language lesson. 2200 sounds like same music heard an hour earlier, and now also // 17880, still at 2207. At 2221 now a Spanish feature about Chinese folktales, with birdchrip SFX etc., just like I heard May 12 at 2120: identical? or maybe another episode. At 2313 check May 16, 11855 // 9800 // 9590 with music to UTwente. My impression so far is that what Spanish remains on CRI/RIC is evergreen archives stuff, nothing about current events requiring a live staff and new produxion. ``Hoy, 20 de abril``, she says at 2321 May 16 on Chinese learning, for el dia de la lengua china``. How about the CRI website? Here`s a page linked as RADIO but it mentions everyplatform but SW: https://espanol.cri.cn/audioonline/index.shtml and everything on it is dated 2017! Here`s a very generic 2-hour program block showing as of 2017, Bolet?n Informativo starting each hour - NOT: https://espanol.cri.cn/audioonline/informaciones/1223/20170922/30430.html?spm=C46183.PbSsQMGvcUEK.E8hury4RDGY9.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6000 // 9700, May 16 at 0127, RHC English only here, both somewhat undermodulated with 6165 long gone. 0243 recheck, 9700 now has CCI clearly underneath from Spanish, i.e. Romania as scheduled 0200-0257. How could RRI possibly know about RHC which refuses to register in HFCC? Someone should tell them. I don`t know the total span of RHC 9700, but varies to much later. Aoki does not list it at all, while EiBi shows 01-04 incorrect Spanish, 05-07 English, all irregular. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 12200, May 16 at 0643, RHC English, S8/9+10 and somewhat undermodulated; i.e. 2 x 6100 which is indeed still on and much weaker S7/S9; and no other RHCs found on any band. Same situation as on May 12 when both were heard but dead air. And April 18 with disturbed modulation. Not only is the harmonic escaping, but the fundamental is weaker indicating transmitter mistuned to peak on X2. Something`s always wrong at RHC! Also today I decide to give RHC another chance to provide an uptodate nominal schedule. The homepage defaults to Spanish, and under De Inter?s, a drop down to https://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/frecuencias On the homepage there are no longer flag icons for languages, such as UK`s for English, never USA`s! let alone words. To get to English you have to click on the globe icon in upper right to get a drop-down of langs. Click and wait for slow loading. Eventually: https://www.radiohc.cu/en >From there under Interesting another drop-down including Frequencies: https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias same as you get by going via Spanish: also for the B20 season, starting Nov 17, 2020!

I`ve yet to catch the Africa service before or after 23 UT on 11880, and suspect it has totally got lost. It used to be at 22 UT in B seasons, 23 in A seasons, opposite of DST shifting. How about programming, in English? https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/programacion It leads to exactly the same thing as this: How about programming, in Spanish: https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/programacion This is NOT a program sked - no names or times of specific pgms, but a transmission sked in English and the other languages. This one is undated, but we recognize some frequencies long out of use, if ever, so surely is very outdated. Like 17730, 6075, 9850, 17580. Somethings` VERY wrong at RHC. Things were a little better until the passing of frequency manager Arnaldo Coro Antich, who refused to participate in HFCC, but would send more or less intentional seasonal schedules to Wolfgang B?schel. I wonder who`s mismanaging them now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17480, May 16 at 1537, S5/S8 talk with heavy flutter; can`t be sure if one station or two in Turkey`s radiojamming war; but there is a JBA carrier on 17450, maybe Deng?

Slovakia International relay starts as scheduled on System H daily. But I can hardly believe my ears as it`s announced as the *Monday, January 30* broadcast! Among other things, about some WWII anniversary on January 27. This must mean that WRMI has got no newer files than 3.5 months ago from this station. Has no one else noticed? Something`s odd at Okeechobee. Another System H time is 0130 on 5800. However, RSI is also scheduled at more times on System F, a different server, which might not be so outdated.
