Today was not exception. I tuned in at 0845 and heard a female in Spanish language comments until 0849 when a male joined her.

The point is the 0500-0700 UT period only, when RHC was colliding with VOA Greenville for at least the last 4+ months, both in English, and an intolerable mixture at least here in your central USA target area. When I first heard 6140 after 0500 August 12, there was no RHC signal audible on 6180, in Spanish or any other language. Also the next night, I could not hear RHC after 0500 on 6180. Are you claiming that RHC is still using 6180 after 0500? Of course you are still using it before 0500, in Spanish now instead of English, as I have also reported, but that is not a problem with VOA. If RHC is still on 6180 after 0500 we shall eventually be able to detect it, in which case you are technically correct. If not, I suggest that you acknowledge this fact immediately, even if you do not want to admit that the presence of VOA was a very good reason to move elsewhere. And if you are still using it after 0500 you are still getting creamed by VOA, altho not causing as much interference to it. 73, Glenn Hauser --- On Wed, 8/13/08, Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [HCDX] Radio Havana Cuba is still and will continue to use 6180 > kHz > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "HCDX" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "Gayle Van > Horn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Gayle Van Horn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "kevin > redding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 11:27 AM > *The never ending bashing against Radio Havana Cuba > by Se?or Glenn Hauser continues... > He has posted at every possible site related to short > wave listening a message that sent his credibility down > the drain.... > For the information of the readers of ODXA > yahoogroups,HCDX > and other shor wave listeners e-mail lists and groups: > Radio Havana Cuba continues to use the 6180 kiloHertz > frequency > registered at the ITU . > We are now operating the 6180 kiloHertz frequency > with a different antenna pattern and have optimized the > coverage > of Central North America on 6140 kiloHertz. > Again, and to make it clear as a bell... you can pick up > RHC > in Spanish on 6180 kiloHertz, a 49 meters band channel that > we have not left empty or will leave empty anytime in the > foreseeable future... > > Signed > Arnie Coro > Host of Dxers Unlimited > > Havana , Cuba > 13 August 2008 > 12.30 PM 16.30 UTC ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:17:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Glenn Hauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [HCDX] Radio Havana Cuba is still and will continue to use 6180 kHz [more] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], HCDX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, Gayle Van Horn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Gayle Van Horn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I should add that until now RHC has had no Spanish broadcasts on any frequency after 0500, so if they are now running Spanish on 6180 at 0500-0700, it is something new and totally self-defeating. 73, Glenn ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:05:01 +0000 From: Risto Kotalampi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [HCDX] HCDX logs between 2008-08-13 0000 UTC and 2008-08-14 0000 UTC To: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hard-Core-DX.com logs from 2008-08-13 0000 UTC to 2008-08-14 0000 UTC --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit http://log.hard-core-dx.com/ for the real time logs and to submit your logs to the HCDX Online Log.

O o, here I go, about to be accused again of bashing RHC, but there would be less to bash if it would at least get its own act together: Aug 13 at 2028 I was listening to 11750 concluding the Portuguese service clearly announcing the frequency as 17750 in the 16m band! I believe I have noted the same repeatedly months before. Someone please tell the announcer what frequencies they are on! In this case, it even shows correctly on website at http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm Tho that page has yet to make the 6180/6140 correxion, nor the 9550-11805/15120-15360 correxion which happened this week. At 2029, 11750 into Arabic, // weaker 11805.

VOI, 11784.9, het audible against Firedrake Wed Aug 13 at 1359; Firedrake went off a few seconds past 1400, leaving weak VOI in the clear, mentioning Malaysia, so I suppose the language during this hour is really Malay instead of Indonesian. If they are going to stay on 11784.9 instead of 9526, now it`s time to lobby for putting English at 1400 instead of 1300, equally hoping that propagation will improve during the same hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:54:22 -0700 (PDT) From: Glenn Hauser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 13, 2008: correxion To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sorry, the // frequency should have read 11800, still in use in afternoons, not 11805, which is no longer used in the mornings, so replace last part of Cuba report with: At 2029, 11750 into Arabic, // weaker 11800.
