Glenn Hauser logs March 18-19, 2018

** ANGUILLA. 6090, March 19 at 0607, DGS is on again, S9+30 but with big hum; far louder than neighbor 6100 RHC so undermodulated. Meanwhile DGS on 5935 WWCR is very weak. See also USA: WRMI Wavescan for more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5990, March 18 at 2313, no signal from CRI English relay as scheduled this hour. CRI Portuguese on 13650 is still on, with squeals. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, March 18 at 1830, RHC Kriyol with big sideband squeals peaking 2-3 kHz above and below, but at least no further spur constellation at the moment. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 5917.605, March 19 at 1344, V. of Freedom still stopped here on its downward drift. Very poor signal but plenty carrier to measure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. `Broad Spectrum Radio` audio of the January and March shows now available: See USA: WRMI 

** PHILIPPINES. 11570, March 19 at 1340, song in English, 1341 talk in Korean, i.e. VOA at 12-14 (and per EiBi also 14-16 via Saipan) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15239.938, Sunday March 18 at 1824, JBA talk from R. Munansi via WWRB on signature off-frequency. Those further than a megameter from Morrison, even in the wrong direxions, hear it much better, enough to criticise the lofi modulation and the boring content (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1921 monitoring: confirmed Sunday March 18 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.305v-CUSB, fair S9-S6, with some glitches or noise bursts, maybe from external source. Also confirmed UT Monday March 19 from 0301 on Area 51 webcast, and poor/fair at 0313 on WBCQ 5129.8. Also confirmed UT Mon March 19 after 0330 on WRMI, 9955, very poor. Next:
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030   WRMI 7780 to NE, 9455 to WNW [or #1922?]
Tue 2130   WRMI 7780 to NE, 9455 to WNW [or #1922?]

** U S A. 9455 // 9395, Sunday March 18 at 2319, WRMI with `AWR Wavescan`, WWCR`s Jerry Plummer interviewed at Kuala Lumpur in January, says PMS is committed to keeping ANGUILLA on the air; WWCR CE Phil Patton and three people from TUN went to the island to work on the station, got to stay in a hotel still without power but also providing three meals a day. JP himself hasn`t been to Anguilla. 

A-18 AWR WS times on VOH stations, per Jeff: KVOH, Saturdays 1530 on 17775, will be an advance of the new episode each weak officially released on Sundays (presumably already the case). So if you catch it then, you can ignore the dozens of repeats on WRMI, including this one, Sunday 2300, which is secret, not shown on WRMI skedgrid, just `Oldies`. WS is shown at this time as on 7780, but it`s too weak to compare. The 24-hour Oldies frequencies really entail *lots* of opt-outs for YWS, WS, REI, etc. They are certainly programmed into the playouts, so why not accurately published? 

7730, UT Monday March 19 at 0603, WRMI is on early, VG with World Music (?), supposedly not until *0700-0900 Sunday & Monday only, including `Broad Spectrum Radio` at 0700 Mondays // 5850 but 5850 is not on yet. 

Speaking of BSR, website now has up the working script for the March show, linx to audio segments, and whole hour program at the bottom:
