** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 1: 1353 equally poor on 8400 and 9000 --- altho some
days one is very much better than the other. Do they keep shifting transmitters
sites, azimuths, or what? At 1357 better on 10210 to fair level (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC anomaly report Oct 1: at 0554, 6140 in Spanish instead of English,
perhaps due to Spanish transmitter on 6120 missing. English still on 6060,
6010, and Spanish on 6000.
13740, CRI relay in English at 1401 kiept dropping off the air, once right
after asserting ``nothing but socialism``, ha2. 1402 back on at first with
squeal only, then adding modulation, still hiccuping. Only the worst
transmitters are reserved in Cuba for the ChiCom comrades, but this may change
soon with some newer ones being installed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. Monitored what was presumably the final broadcast of HCJB from
Ecuador (except for the prolonged regional service on 6050), UT Oct 1 on 9745;
tune in around 0430 and something was being said about the finale, but nothing
out of the ordinary in the next semihour, which was the regular program `El
Camino` referring to who else but JC? Mostly praise music in Spanish,
occasional announcements, including one greeting from an ALAS affiliate in
Guatemala. All this was bothered by splatter spikes from VOR Spanish via Guiana
French on 9735 with an even stronger signal. Fortunately it was off by 0459 so
my recording of the HCJB QRT was less marred.
Automated ID at 0459:30 plugged the mountain peaks of Ecuador, gave frequencies
as 9745 for M?xico and 21455 for Europa! So that frequency closed down a
sesquiyear ago still survived in outdated announcements to the very end.
Obviously no one is paying attention at Quito studios, so how can they expect
listeners to pay attention? Sign-off made no indication it was the very end,
but said they would be back on air at 3:30 am in Quechua, no frequency, but
6050?
0500 national anthem, one of many from Latin America I never tire of hearing;
the refrain is ``gloria a ti`` which could easily be mistaken for a religious
remark rather than referring to the patria itself. Over at 0503, a few sex of
open carrier, and then gone forever.
Here`s one source for lofi audio both instrumental and vocal, and linx to the
lyrix, referring to Ecuador`s breast and forehead:
http://www.national-anthems.net/EC
This one also has an English translation:
http://www.lyricsondemand.com/miscellaneouslyrics/nationalanthemslyrics/ecuadornationalanthemlyrics.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. RFI missing from 7265, Oct 1 at 0550. This is the frequency which
had been heard with a heavy echo the past two nights. Yet SW neighbors 7240
Portugal, 7250 Vatican, 7275 Tunisia were in with good signals, so I think RFI
must really have been off, perhaps trying to rid itself of the double
audio/transmission (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR VBS, 9870, fluttery but fairly good signal, enough to enjoy the
music, around 1415 UT Oct 1; still going at 1559 recheck after WRMI signed off
9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI still on 9525.9 Oct 1 at quick check 1355 before being hit by
9525.0 het de CRI pr?lude to Russian. In English, and also still with
sufficient modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL. DRM noise, 15635-15640-15645, Oct 1 at 1440, or is it Ethiopian
jamming? No, DW via Sines scheduled 14-16, 90 kW at 40 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation starts its broadcasting via digital and
satellite technology. It was launched this morning at the Temple Trees under
the patronage of President Mahinda Rajapakse. Speaking at the event, the
President said that the SLBC the oldest radio network of Asia can be compared
to a sleeping giant in the region. Now that the giant has awakened to thrive
towards the 21st century with the implementation of modern technology in
broadcasting. The President further said that the new development of the
national radio will lead the country towards development and prosperity. Under
the new technology, the City FM, Commercial, Thendral and English Service will
have satellite broadcasting from today. It has been made possible by Dialog
Telecom. It is expected that the listeners would get a clear broadcasting
signal by this transmission. Meanwhile, SLBC will launch another Tamil language
broadcasting service from Iratta-periya-kulam
to the benefit of the people in the north.

Correxion to WOR 1480: I referred to R. Enciclopedia, Cuba on 530 also being
heard on 1710 kHz as being a `leapfrog` mixing product over nearby transmitter
on 1180, the R. Marti jammer. However 1710 is really just the sum of 530 and
1180. A leapfrog would have been 2B minus A: 2360 minus 530 = 1830 kHz.
