Carlos Franqui was the director of Radio Rebelde in its earliest days as a clandestine radio station in mountains of the Sierra Madre in eastern Cuba. An article I wrote on the history of Radio Rebelde can be found here. http://www.pateplumaradio.com/central/cuba.html Franqui's book "Diary of the Cuban Revolution" (New York: Viking Penguin. 1980) gives a lot of background on the early history of the station.

Then checked // 6185 and found same unprogrammed sound, but here of course mixing badly with XEPPM jazz music, SAH of roughly 10 Hz, and probably Vatican in the mix too. 6185 less monitorable after *0559.5 CRI via Sackville splattering from adjacent 6190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. Add yet another date when KBSWR Korean relay to NAm on 9650 via Sackville, fails to come thru: April 18 at 1431, just the usual fallback RCI IS and French/English ID loop. Probably buck-passing ``it`s not my problem``, with the people who could and would fix it out of the loop (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake April 18 on different frequencies: at 1342 good on 12950 instead of 12970 yesterday; at 1406 fair on 14920 instead of 14970 previously; as SOH presumably tried unsuccessfully to escape ChiCom music-only jamming, itself inaudible here or on previous channels. No Firedrake found elsewhere 8-18 MHz, but CNR1 echo jamming severe on 15285 vs BBCWS Mandarin via Singapore at 1300-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 10000, April 18 at 1329, Morse ID for BPM mixing with WWVH voice ID as both are perpetually scheduled to do in H+29 and 59 minutes, why? Hardly anything audible from WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. RHC anomalies April 18: at 0504, found 5970 in Spanish along with 5040, but at next check 0510, 5970 had switched to English. At 0504, 6010 and 6060 were already in English, while 6150 was in open carrier instead of Spanish. At 0516, 6150 was undermodulating in Spanish, while // 6120 was quite loud. Altho RHC was loud on 13680 during En Contacto with DX report from Spain, Sunday April 18 at 1340, also 13780 and thus leapfrogging to 13880 as well, 13680 was absent at next check 1406, allowing R. Svoboda thru clearly with ID. It`s on 13680 this hour only via Rampisham, UK. RHC`s own online schedule shows 13680 at 13-15 daily and also from 1400 Sunday for Al?, Presidente, which is impossible. But we who axually listen to SW know that A,P never starts anywhere near that early on any frequency, and often is completely absent. April 18 at 1657, not on 13680 or any other listed channel, so another no-show by El Hugazo. But RHC apparently turns off the ``Chicago`` beam on 13680 by 1400 at least on Sundays, whether or not A,P is to happen. Seems to me it has also been gone after 14 otherdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 4845, ORTM Nouakchott, in the clear April 18 at 0508 with more than one voice chanting, accompanied by plucked instrument. WWCR was missing from 4840, but not for long, back at 0514 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WWCR transmitters are missing unpredictably; wonder what the problem is? April 18 at 0508, 4840 is off clearing 4845 for Mauritania, q.v.. Then I find 5890 also absent, but PMS still there on 5935; and at 0512, 3215 is also off, i.e. only one frequency active at the moment. But at 0514 I find that 4840 is back on, and 5890, but still not 3215. Was it back by 0630 WORLD OF RADIO? At 1330 and 1338, 9980 is missing, while at 1338, 7490 is blasting in as usual; at 1342, 13845 and 15825 audible but much weaker. As I retuned to 9980 at 1408 it was just cutting on joining a mortgage commercial in progress, but could have been on and off in the meantime (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11715, April 18 at 1340 open carrier, presumed KJES failing to modulate, which had just reactivated the previous morning. By 1433, 11715 had some JBA music, seems choral, with splash from P`yongyang 11710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 5930, April 18 at 0510, open carrier stronger than weakened WWCR 5935. Nothing scheduled at this hour on 5930, tho Prague is upcoming at 0600, and numerous other stations during the 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:02:47 +1200 From: i...@radioheritage.net To: i...@radioheritage.net Subject: [HCDX] ANZAC Day Radio Memories Message-ID: <380-2201041193247...@radioheritage.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Media Release Radio Heritage Foundation www.radioheritage.net ANZAC Day 2010 Radio Memories ______________ The Radio Heritage Foundation extends warm greetings to all veterans, friends and families as we remember on April 25 2010. Our good friends at Australian Old Time Radio have generously made available a wonderful series of mini-radio documentaries that tell the stories of Australian heroes over the years. Some of you may be familiar with the series 'Citation' and now is a chance to listen to it again: "On www.australianotr.com.au/Citation.asp you will find our latest project to Commemorate ANZAC Day. The shows are only available on the site until the end of April." We invite everyone to download and listen to these programs. We also remind you that our Armed Forces Radio Service [AFRS] Memories features at www.radioheritage.net are always available for free community access. Although these concentrate on the American WWII stations in the Pacific, some veterans may remember them. In New Zealand, 1ZM in Auckland was handed over to AFRS in 1944 and became part of the Mosquito Network centered in New Caledonia. We also have a special feature on the AAAS stations that broadcast for Australian personnel in the SW Pacific region and later in the occupation forces with Japan. There was also a New Zealand station at Kure which some people may recollect. As always, if anyone has memories of listening to or being involved with any of the stations - including the later stations in Korea, Malaya and Vietnam - we're always pleased to hear from you. Again, our warm greetings as we pause to remember, and an invitation to enjoy the stories and memories of these AFRS and AAAS stations, their music, personalities and events, and also the 'Citation' series of radio documentaries. ____________________________________________________ Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit connecting popular culture, nostalgia and radio heritage across the Pacific.
