powerful S=9+50dB, compared to Kharkov at S=9+20 .. 9+30dB level. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 1/2) So please confirm whether it's really RUI in English again at 0000-0100 on 7440 kHz instead of VOR. Reception here too poor to tell at 0015 UT July 2 check. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld July 1) Yes, it was. 2300-2400 UT and now again from 0100 RUI in Ukrainian was carried on 7440 kHz, too. The transmission appeared to be pretty undermodulated, but this could have been a deception, caused by the signal being rather backscatter than direct reception here, just a bit more than 600 km from the transmitter location. Earlier 6145 kHz carried the scheduled programming until 2400. It is supposed to be followed by 7420 kHz, beamed to western Siberia, after 0000 UT, but no trace of such a signal here. Until 2400* UT 6145 kHz was pretty strong, so at least a faint trace of a transmission on 7420 kHz should have been audible here. Now the interesting question is whether the new 11655 kHz relay of VOR German 0900-1000 UT still exists or has again been bumped as well. It could be that I will still be asleep at this time, so if someone else could check it out... Poor reception? I find the other way round WBCQ on 7415 amazingly strong here, relaying the big sponsor of North American shortwave broadcasting, only interrupted by a canned WBCQ ID at 0100 hourtop. Also pretty good are Greenville with Radio Marti on 7365, Bonaire on 6165 and 6190, Cuba on 60 and 49 metres. Also WWCR on 4840 and 5935 kHz comes in. Sackville is remarkable for a just barely readable CBC North on 9625 kHz, something I never heard before.

I have my doubts that these changes are apt because of possible considerable interferences. Real schedule can be changed taking into consideration the financial troubles. First of all it concerns the [high] power transmission to North America, which from February 22 has been shortened by one hour at 0400- 0500 UTC (the second English language transmission to North America).

(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 1) UNIDENTIFIED When I check 4025 kHz for carrier from Liberia, I also check 6025 kHz with BFO on, compared to 5025 kHz Cuba, and June 23 at 0620 there was a very weak signal slightly on the low side matching 4025-, and some JBA music. If R. Amanecer, Dominican Republic, were running late again, I would expect more of a signal from them, and anyhow has been measured about 50 Hz on high side. Enugu, Nigeria, is supposedly inactive, and propagation rules out Iran or Malaysia. Bolivia? Does R. Illimani / Patria Nueva ever stay on all night? It could also be a spur, tho by now most of the bigger signals on 49mb have finished. Bonaire is sleeping. Cuba? Unlikely since all their frequencies end in -0. For sure it's not the imaginary KTMI in Oregon, which some lists display on 6025 kHz from registrations as if it axually existed. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld June 23) On June 23 I was listening to R. Amanecer at 0248 UT and distinctly heard another station off set (about 6024.95 kHz) underneath them, playing EZL file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX970.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:10]
