BRAZIL [and non]. 6148-6170, April 10 at 2327, as I notice RHC [see CUBA]
on 6165 now for the `Mesa Redonda` breakaway, there is also heavy
interference from some extremely out-of-whack signal making rapid pulses
across this range, and strong enough to QRM Cuba on 6165 itself. Could it
be RHC`s own transmitter doing this? A ute, a radar?
No, recheck at 0053 April 11 as RHC is off again, and now I can hear bits
of speech modulation in the pulses. RNB/RNA is still missing from 6180, so
could this be what`s become of it? Yes! The modulation peaks match what I
hear on their other frequency, 11780. Cuba apparently put 6165 on because
of the other RNB making a big het with otherwise OK modulation from 5999.6
onto RHC 6000.0, and now Brazil is gettin` `em on the new frequency too,
ha2. The heavy pulsing QRM continues at 0105 as RHC is now in English back
on 6165, and still with the heavy het on 6000 too, the only other English
frequency until The Cuban Five overkill at 0500. Recheck at 0252, no
change, still pulsing and hetting both. RNB`s 250 kW transmitters
periodically go out of whack and it takes a while to get them back in
whack. Doesn`t anyone around Rodeador Park turn on a radio and listen to
their own output?

BRAZIL RNB program around 0615 UT April 11 is on footprint exact 5999.604
kHz, but hit heavily by nearby adjacent RHC powerhouse on 6000 kHz, latter
S=9+30dB or -37dBm tremendous signal.
RNB WAS NOT on 6180 kHz, channel is empty.
See below of 6155 kHz distorted signal instead..
Heard very well too, on 11780.005 kHz at 0620 UT
on S=9+15dB or -59dBm level.
Distorted like FM modulation scratchy signal on fundamental 6155 kHz comes
definitely from RNB program \\ 11780 kHz outlet, very same program on
wideband range 6144 to 6166 kHz. S=9+20dB or - 55dBm,
noted on remote SDR units in Canada and western USA.
CUBA. 6165, April 10 at 2327, RHC is on this frequency at unscheduled
time --- it`s the `Mesa Redonda` TV simulcast, // 6000, which has that
nasty Brazilian het on it, so apparently the reason for adding 6165. This
hour is separate from other RHC Spanish not // on 11670, 15230, and an
echo apart on 6070. But BRAZIL, q.v., gets RHC on 6165 too!!
15370, April 10 at 2331, RHC Portuguese with modulation somewhat
suppressed and distorted, but good signal level.

CUBA Before 0600 UT heard both Rebelde 5025 and RHC 5040 kHz in 60 mband.
S=9+35dB like -45dBm strength signal. After 0600 UT only Radio Rebelde
remained on 5025 kHz.
RHC from 0600 UT April 11
6000 kHz S=9+30dB -47dBm
6165 kHz S=9+35dB -42dBm - but lower modulation,
compared than 6000, 6060, and 6100 kHz.
6060 kHz S=9+35dB -42dBm - clean audio feed, but some 100 Hertz BUZZ
6100 kHz S=9+30dB -47dBm - but sratchy audio feed, somewhat distorted
feed line.
