** CANADA. 15034-USB, Nov 12 at 1425 UT, ``No report received`` from Cold Lake, Edmonton, Winnipeg; at 1426 UT, Trenton Military timecheck as now ``1325``, then some successful aviation weather reports timedated 1400. Something`s always wrong at CHR. One can only hope their weather statistics, when they have any, are more accurate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Nov 11 at 2056, RHC reactivated here for European service in French at 2030, Portuguese 2100, Arabic 2130-2200. Arnie`s sked shows 100 kW, 10 degrees from Bauta site, which is not really right toward Europe but up the east coast of North America. This and 15140 in English are the SSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9720, Nov 12 at 0022 check, RHC English on new frequency, first time heard, during `DXers Unlimited`. // 5040. Later on Nov 12, Wolfgang Bueschel got a revised B-18 sked, showing this transmission moved *two hours earlier*, which certainly makes sense for an audience in Africa: English at 22-23, after French & Portuguese at 21-22. And so confirmed English at 2257 check --- but also English again at 0029 check Nov 13, so maybe at both times temporarily for transition (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1956, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6180, Nov 12 at 0656, RHC English is here at S9+20 but JBM! This is the new CRI relay frequency I previously discovered, but supposed to be running only at 01-03. Now, RHC is missing from 6000, so maybe that`s the transmitter on 6180 by mistake? The rest of RHC English at 0656: 6060 loud and splattering, 6100 very weak, 6165 good at S9+10, 5040 off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9640, Nov 12 at 1510, another reactivated RHC Spanish frequency, S9+10/20, quite stronger than // 9535. Yet per Arnie`ssked, this is one of the weakest transmitters, only 50 kW, 110 degrees from Bejucal for Antillas, at 12-16 and 22-05. While 9535 is 100 kW, 230 degrees from Bejucal for Central America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 13728.304, Nov 12 at 1517, weak music and talk spur // 13700 modulation, so is there a matching one 28.304 kHz on the opposite side? Yes! on 13671.696. Something`s always wrong at RHC, but this is different, not like the panoply of strong FM spurs all over the band which used to come out of 13700-AM. The lower one hets something weak on 13670 in French, i.e. CRI via ALBANIA to W Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1956, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [non]. 5950, Nov 12 at 0655, RFI English is still here on WRMI from WRN, but RFI will stop producing English in the mornings from Nov 18, as Mike Cooper heard them announce, apparently leaving only the 1400 broadcast; what then to be heard at 0600? And, after am Ian ID at 0659, Nov 12 at 0700, 5950 goes into RFI Spanish, definitely not Portuguese as on the WRMI skedgrid when last checked; as I write it doesn`t want to load, maybe down for editing. Before 0700 WRMI is presumably getting RFI from WRN, but not after 0700 replacing WRN feed which is DW in English as previously heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA [and non]. 9689.9, Nov 11 at 2052, VON is back on here causing LAH to SPAIN 9690.0, unlike hetlessness yesterday, until VON goes off at 2101:45* clearing REE for its silly ballgame coverage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11815.0, Nov 12 at 1409, TRT Turkish on-frequency today, only a SAH apart from Japan which is slightly weaker. OTOH, 12035.7, Nov 12 at 1414, TRT English is the one way off-frequency, poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1955 monitoring: confirmed by Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``GERMANY Reception of World of Radio via HLR on 7265CUSB, Nov 11 https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2018/11/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr-on.html 1131-1200 7265 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu English Sat, fair/good`` Also confirmed here: Sunday November 11 at 2142 the 2130 on WRMI 7780, poor S7-S9.
