** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, via UK, 15265, Jan 30 at 1419-1459:30*, quite good reception and recorded it to availablize the music in an mp3 archive, TBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Just after checking 11680, found an open carrier on 11750 at 1514 Jan 29, then at 1515 up came audio from R. Rebelde talking about their 50th anniversary; is this the axual date? Included old-timer with creaky voice, abruptly cut off at 1520* exposing some other weak signal on 11750. Neither RHC nor Rebelde is scheduled on 11750 at this time, but RHC recently added 11750 at 2000-2300, so I suppose testing that transmitter with whatever audio feed was handy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. V. of Indonesia, 9526, mostly missing lately; not there Jan 29 at 1430 check; but Jan 30 at 1403, Suara Indonesia ID in warta berita, with hum, ringing sound; 1404 cut off briefly. Jan 31 at 1441, missing. Also RRI, 9680, Jan 30 at 1414 Indo ballads mixing with Chinese talk, SAH of about 4 Hz varying slightly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN [non]. R. Farda, 11750, Jan 31 at 1445 with ID and music. This is Lampertheim, Germany, 100 kW, 108 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. After a few days` absence, XEYU back on 9599.3v, Jan 29 at 0610 with classical, deep fades; and at 1410 news about water shortage in Mexico City, and blackouts. 1528 recheck, classical. XEPPM 6185: no repeat of yesterday`s daytime apparition, checked Jan 29 at 1526 Jan 30 at 1412, 9599+ again on in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV CI via CUBA, 11680, Tue Jan 29 at 1501-1514 was all in Spanish, no English, the usual Chavista stuff, as if everything going on in V revolves around Hugo; signal started out weaker than usual, gradually grew. Re their poor English when it happens: can`t they find any native speaker in Venezuela willing to spout the Chavista propaganda lines fluently? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, not having checked for it in over a week, 8GAL still there as usual at 1400-1401 Jan 29 with V/CQ marker immediately after, or slightly overlapping the closing timesignal from Russia 6075.
