** CUBA. 13740, Sunday May 12 at 1336, RHC `En Contacto`, Arnie opens saying that bitrate has been improved on RHC webcasts; also archive of programs by podcast, i.e. at http://www.radiohc.cu/es/audios including the latest EC already. I see that another show link has unnecessary accent, ``El mundo de la Filatélia`` --- ¿is that to make clear it is not to be pronounced Filatelía?

Ray Robinson replies on the WOR iog about why I had no signal from KVOH 17775, Sat May 11 at 1514: ``Sadly, another minor tube failure, awaiting replacement parts. Should be back on by Tue/Wed [May 14/15]. Ray Robinson, Voice of Hope World Radio Network, Americas/Africa/Middle East, www.voiceofhope.com`` Now I am still wondering if this is about the old transmitter or the ``new`` one; unclear on what date new started, if yet. Apparently, only one is operable now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1958 UT May 12 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
