** COSTA RICA. REE relay, Cariari de Pococí, nominal 5965, axually on 5964.0 putting a big het on Vatican Radio 5965.0, with which it normally mixes a few Hz apart, Feb 24 at 0620. I had first noticed the het a couple nights earlier but at first assumed one of them was running a tone test instead. So this collision has gone from bad to worse (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Trying to sort out the RHC and RNV relay frequencies was more confusing than ever Feb 24, since RHC extended transmission to carry the who-will-succeed-Fidel parliamentary session. I am too busy monitoring other stuff on Sunday mornings to devote undivided and prolonged attention to this, but here are my notes as far as they go: 1435 UT, 11875 with Hugo speaking, mixing about 4 Hz apart with choral music // 7540, so the collision at 14-15 with WEWN has resumed. Hugo // weak 11670, no 11680. But at 1441 recheck 11670 // 11875 program identified as ``Entre Cubanos``, presumably one of the run-up fillers before Aló, Presidente. 1438, RHC programming on 13680, 13760, 11760. Did not check again until 1531, when RHC was still on, prolonged schedule, // 11760 and 15370 VG, weaker 11805, 12000, 13760. I suspect the Esperanto show at 1500-1530 was pre-empted from 11760, but failed to check then. 1534, 17750 with Fidel speaking but not // RHC frequencies above, so this must have been within the Aló, Presidente service. Since both Fidel and Hugo may be heard at times on both services, you can`t rely on voice identification to distinguish them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
