USA/CUBA Re new 5015 kHz RMI brokered Brother Stair barker cry out
at 0950 UT June 3 in NY, MA, and MI.
I guess Jeff White will not always happy with his 'radio war' coup to occupy
new 5015 kHz channel from Okeechobee Florida site.
Anyway make allowance for this 160degr southwards signal, which will be a
terrible mixture on simple performance receiver in the Carribean target.
Noted Brother Stair sermon, scheduled 05-22 UT,
S=9+5dB in northern US, -68dBm,
but Cuban Radio Rebelde was stronger on adjacent 5025 kHz S=9+25dB
or -48dBm.

U S A. Analyzing the updated June 1 WRMI graphic frequency schedule, we
find significant changes affecting WORLD OF RADIO. WOR airtimes have not
changed, but there is no longer a NW beam part of the time on 9955 --- the
entire 24 hours are on the 160 degree beam, away from the rest of North
America. Previously, one WOR airing was during the 315-degree beam,
Wednesdays at 1315. That and other times remain: Thu 0330, 1230, Tue 1100.
9495, that curious extra frequency carrying WRMI programming, mostly DX
shows, at 00-01 UT, has been dropped. Officially labeled as a FSI (Family
Radio) channel, it`s replaced by 5015, presumably still with WORLD OF RADIO
UT Sundays at 0030, but usually the previous edition.
The major change is more and more WRMI airtime for Brother Scare --- get him
while the getting i$ good! I`ve added up all the `C` blox (ugly olive-green
color-coded), and guess what, they total exactly 700 hours per week, surely
no coincidence = 100 transmitter-hours per day, or on the average 4+
transmitters at once. But this does not include another 112 hours per week
of BS on the beautiful blue 9955 RMI frequency itself (84 hours a week = 12
hours per day), and via Radio Africa Network, 28 hpw = 4 hpd for a grand
total of 812 hours per week via Okeechobee, or averaging almost 5
transmitters at once.
The major additions are 5950 and 11825 which are with BS for 24 hours a day
each! Here`s the condensed schedule:
kHz UT xmtr-azimuth
5015 05-22 3-160
5950 00-24 14-181
7570 01-11 11-315
7730 22-02 1- 44
9955 05-10 10-160
9955 14-21 10-160
11565 22-06 9-151
11730 00-05 4-160
11825 00-24 12-315
15190 04-08 7- 87
15770 12-21 9- 44
The 5 MHz frequencies are for the Caribbean, where presumably they hold up
during the daytime at a certain close range. They are inaudible here, not
even a carrier, e.g. at 1946 UT June 2. (Nor is Cuba audible on 5025 or any
6 MHz frequency in the daytime.) BTW, all 14 transmitters are in use at one
time or another now except: 5 and 6. IIRC, #6 was the one out of service,
permanently?
The big sig toward us on 11825 means a major clash with ChiCom CNR1 jamming
and VOA Chinese via Philippines at 09-13: we could still hear that
underneath WRMI at 1205 June 2. Also bothered is NHK Japanese only 10 kHz
away on 11815. We`ll no longer be able to hear the Holy Qur`an music service
from Riyadh on 11820 at 18-23 UT, nor probably without QRM the Kazakh
service of Iran on 11820 at 0120-0220.
Some good news is that WRMI has dropped 9690 for the BS service,
reaudiblizing All India Radio GOS in English at 1330-1500. I`m urging Jeff
not to resume 9690 in another season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
