** CUBA. RHC is running new 6110 all day and into the night, replacing 5965.
Nov 2 it was still on the air at 2330 and at next check 0005 Nov 3, atop
DentroCuban jamming! Which had been occupying 6110 needlessly at 0000-0100 as
we have been observing. Now it`s Cuban Commies vs Cuban Commies! Tho the
appearance of RHC should encourage the DCJC to finally get off this frequency.
RHC usage of 6110 appears to be in retaliation for our complaints about the
jamming, on behalf of R. Tirana, which expected this to be clear in B-09 for
their Albanian sesquihour to NAm at 0000. Now R. Tirana is still in the mix,
causing a fast SAH with RHC at fadeups. By 0058 I was not hearing any jamming
but RHC on top of Tirana.
So RHC is in Spanish on 49m, 6060 strongest, then 6110, then distorted 6120.
What about 6140? Carrier there did not come on until 0101, and at next check
0106 was fitfully modulating Spanish, audio fading in, then cutting out and in
--- but at 0107 suddenly switched to English feed // 6000, but not much better.
So not only after 0500, but after 0100 is RHC terribly indecisive about which
language to put on 6140. Still in English at 0250, 0350 and 0452 chex. By 0250,
RHC Spanish on 6110 had weakened somewhat and could still hear some bubble
jamming. 6120 had a SAH of a few Hz from Iran and some of its modulation under.
At 0515, 6110 had switched to 6150 for RHC in Spanish, avoiding NHK via Canada
which has been on 6110 for sesquiyears at 0500-0530. RHC remained // in Spanish
on 6120, and possibly 6000, too weak to tell, while English was now on 6060 and
6140, not any more on 6010.
Backing up before 2400 on Nov 2, the DCJC was busy on 5890, jamming nothing at
2320 check, but still jamming after VOA Spanish began at 0000 Nov 3. At the
start of the hour, the jamming was on top here, but at 0058 VOA was atop as it
ended a USG editorial, 0100 Yankee Doodle sign-off. Meanwhile, nothing audible
on the only scheduled //, 9885 --- off the air or simply not propagating from
Greenville? No jamming heard there either.
A quick check of 19m, Nov 2 at 2321 confirmed that the RNV relay from Cuba on
15250 was still accompanied by those detestable spurblobs every 51 kHz or so,
at least down to 14842 and also upward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, 6270 at 0101 Nov 3, dead air into news theme, low
modulation. Then checked 7580 and found same news theme, but not //. 6270 is in
Spanish at this hour, instead of planned 7540, and 7580 in Arabic (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. KEOR, 1120, Sperry OK, missing again, the next time I look for
them since last report, Nov 2 around 1930 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 5910, Nov 3 at 0106 poor signal in Romanian, so what could it be
but RRI? Yes, now scheduled from Tiganeshti to ENAm at 01-03, 307 degrees;
appropriately right next door to Bulgaria on 5900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SERBIA [non]. The transmitter operator at Bijeljina failed to follow orders
and change from 9675 to 6190 for the N American service at 0100-0200 from the
start of B-09, Dragan Lekic found out as he notified management of the
discrepancy we have been reporting, which they said would be rectified starting
UT Nov 3. And so it was: at 0058 carrier on 6190, and the IRS IS, 0100 opening
in Serbian, good signal on 6190, nothing on 9675. English no doubt followed at
0130 (Glenn Hasuer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. The timeshifted WORLD OF RADIO airing now at 2300 UT Mondays on WBCQ
7415 has escaped adjacent-channel interference, good and clear Nov 2 at 2320
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
