Surveying RHC usage, UT Sat June 8 at 0046-0051: 11760 OFF. 11950 S9+15/25 of dead air or possibly JBM: supposedly sked 23-24 UT only and // 6000 which is now OFF. Nowhere else on 25m. 9700, 9650, 9535 all OFF. 9710 has S7/S9 weak music, presumably CRI `Portuguese` music fill via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, std. denunciation. 15140 & 15230 OFF. However the domestix on 4765 & 5025 are ON, vs HSNL. 5990 CRI relay music undermodulated S9+5/10. 0113 recheck into Maryland SDR: 15230 is now ON with S9+5 of dead air. And so still 11950. 6000 still off. 9580 S9+20/30 undermodulated CRI English. Then I`ve set it to 9699 USB with slight 10 dB of squelch to tonally notify me if and when 9700 cut on: still not by 0204, just some occasional lightning crashes break thru, nothing but those by 0259. 6000 still off at 0210, 0258, no English.

Only Marilyn Quintana; and they always also mention behind-the-scenes support names. 2201 news starts with South Africa vs Israel over Gaza at International Court of Justice. 2206 already Feria del Libro, interviewing a bookstore owner where business is not so good. Now I find that 17715 for S America is unusually almost as good as 17855 for us, i.e. S9+10/20, better than off the back to ME 15520, only S8/S9; and 15390 for Africa S7/S9 with an echo, long/short path? Theoretically 15520 would more likely echo but too strong already directly off the back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 7 at 2158, zero signal direct from VOT, which ought to show since Romania 11800 is quite audible. 2203 algo on 11785 much weaker than 11780 Brasil.
