Hello all! I don't think that RHC will furthermore using the frequency of 6050 khz, a frequency that HCJB continuously uses for more than six decades to presence.
Sir Arnaldo Coro Antich himself promised that RHC will leave 6050 kHz again to the next (A11) season. He stated (to us directly via phone and to others like sources passed on to us) that RHC would never have used this frequency if they had known that HCJB in Ecuador still uses it. I think that Mr Arnaldo Coro Antich and other responsible staff at RHC are honorable personalities and so I assume that theres a fault in the schedule information which pointed out that RHC will still use the frequency of 6050 khz in A11 again (particulary because it would also violate the ITU regularities, like various higher ranked persons also stated . A thing that RHC certainly wouldn't want to do). Background: RHC uses the frequency of 6050 kHz, a frequency that Radio HCJB uses continuously for more than six decades, from november 2010 on at the same times like HCJB does. Even if their transmission is beamed in direction to north america, they also radiate the amout of at least 8 kW HF Power on the backlobe direct into HCJBs 10 kW Transmitter target zones north of Quito, as Mr. Arnaldo Coro Antich stated himself in his Radio Show. The problem occured because throug jurisdictional changes at HCJB it was failed to re-enter the frequency information into the ITU Frequency List (whereas all information have been re-entered continuously into the HFCC frequency schedule). Because RHC recognizes the ITU list only and not the HFCC Lists, RHC thought that the frequency 6050 khz would be clear and could be used by them. (ITU regulations specify that in such cases a frequency should not simply be 'taken over' by another station but the station that hasn't updated their frequency information should be informed to update their schedule on the ITU and ask if they don't want to use the frequency anymore in future, especially if the station is still on the air on this frequency before.) RHC said that if they had known that HCJB is still broadcasting at the frequency of 6050 khz they would not have used it. A lot of HCJB listeners have confirmed through the last months that the HCJB transmissions are disturbed heavily and complained. In addition to the spanish langues porogramming, particulary the ingigenious language programmes are affected by this problem, large parts of the transmissions at these times are disturbed enourmously in the northern receiving areas. Meanwhile and already some time ago all Information about the use of the frequency of 6050 khz have been updated again by HCJB/ Vozandes Media at the ecuadorian telecom authorities who themselfs forwarded them to the ITU. HCJB and RHC have gotten along well with each other in regard to frequency coordination and we at HCJB hope that this will be same in future, especially as HCJB/Vozandes Media will transmit in larger scales again in near future from ecuador.
