** ANTARCTICA. 15476, can`t detect even a carrier from LRA36, Monday Nov 15 at
1401, 1443 chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 12174, center of hugely distorted blob, spur from SRDA, Nov 14 at
2244, hard to // to poor signal on 11765, but surely so as previously confirmed
source (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 15:
8400, good at 1339 in drumming segment
10500, very good at 1351 but with some IADs
No other found up to 18 MHz by 1358 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 7220, Nov 15 at 1522, romantic piano music, then Japanese
announcement, so it`s CRI at 15-16, 300 kW, 59 degrees from Jinhua site, and
also USward, making it the SSOB below 7490; no QRhaM either, avoided by them.
SSOB used to be R. Australia 7240, but not any more, weak something, tho still
sked from 1400 to Pacific (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 15230, CRI English via Sackville missing Nov 15 at 1442,
leaving the frequency to Cuba which started using it last week instead of
planned and short-lived 15390. The two had been colliding, Commies vs Commies,
but apparently CRI has conceded, unusual for them. It`s scheduled 13-15, so are
both hours off, or moved elsewhere? Also still on 13675 via Sackville (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Looking for the alleged new times for Esperanto from RHC on Sundays:
Nov 14 at 2105 nothing audible on 11760 tho I was inside a
signal-repelling/absorbing building, a disappointing high-school performance of
The Music Man with terrible acoustix in a gym; when I got outside at 2130 there
was no signal on 11760 either tho RHC 11770 was fine. So I think the 2100-2130
Sunday Esperanto on Arnie`s schedule is imaginary.
The next one is supposedly at 2230-2300 on 15370. That frequency was on the air
Sunday Nov 14 at 2231, but in French, not Esperanto, urgently translating the
spoutings of El Hugazo. The website schedule shows 15370 not starting until
2300, in Creole, and no French on any frequency at 2230. So perhaps French
stands in for no available program this week in Esp`o. (As in previous report,
none at 1500 either on 11760.)
Meanwhile I also checked some of the Sunday afternoon Spanish programming
against the website program schedule. On 15230 at 2236, Mundo de la Filatelia
was in progress, giving postal addresses of two Cuban collectors who want to
exchange stamps, one in Habana, another in Tunas, and there are usually several
more each week.
There is lite SAH on 15230, presumably R. Australia, but no modulation from it
audible under Cuba [see also CHINA]. At 2257 I was on 6140, the new all-day
frequency ex-6110, as Cuba Campesina was opening, and at 2301 also on // 9820
but this frequency is the perpetually lo-fi and distorted transmitter, best
avoided, especially during music. Is it the transmitter or the program feed
line to blame??
What time are these two on the schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_programacion/programacion.htm
? Unknown since the 21:00-23:00 UTC Domingo period is just a Revista
Iberoamericana, containing features which at other dayparts get their own
individual listings. When last we checked for Monitoring Reminders Calendar,
Cuba Campesina was 2200/2225, preceded by En Contacto varying between 2142 and
2200. So CC has also shifted one UT hour later now, and likely so has EC around
2242 instead of 2142 UT. Next update of MRC will show them one hour later than:
2142/2200 RHC EN CONTACTO 5040 6140 9820 11730 11770 15230 [time varies] DX
2200/2225 RHC CUBA CAMPESINA 5040 6140 9820 11730 11770 15230 [time varies]
music
What about the `0135` non-final repeat [since there are more later in the night
never published in schedules] of En Contacto UT Mondays? No, when I check at
0148 Nov 15 there is a sports report but EC with the Uruguay report is underway
at 0239, so that too has moved one hour later. Here`s the Sunday evening
schedule on website, meaning UT Mondays! which it seems we must also add one
hour to, even if RHC itself never gets around to it:
24:00 UTC Domingo Noticiero
24:10 UTC Domingo Cadena Deportiva Panamericana [really 1 hour later]
01:00 UTC Domingo Noticiero
01:10 UTC Domingo Somos J?venes
01:25 UTC Domingo Andar la Habana
01:30 UTC Domingo Bolet?n
01:35 UTC Domingo En Contacto [confirmed one hour later]
01:50 UTC Domingo En Compa??a del Doctor
02:00 UTC Domingo Noticiero
02:10 UTC Domingo El Mundo de la Filatelia
02:30 UTC Domingo Bolet?n
02:35 UTC Domingo Amigos de Cuba [mailbag]
02:55 UTC Domingo Menciones y Promociones
03:00 UTC Domingo Noticiero
03:10 UTC Domingo Indagaciones [investigations, of what?]
03:30 UTC Domingo Al Encuentro de Am?rica
04:00 UTC Domingo Noticiero
04:10 UTC Domingo El Idioma de Cervantes [the Castilian language]
04:20 UTC Domingo As? es mi Tierra
04:30 UTC Domingo Bolet?n
04:35 UTC Domingo La Cultura en Cuba
04:53 UTC Domingo Andar la Habana
DentroCuban Jamming Command doing well on the harmonic scene, Nov 14 at 2240:
pulses on 17865, which is 3 x 5955 vs ELCOR/Rep?blica, so I also check 18090,
and same pulsing audible there, 3 x 6030 vs Mart?, intruding into the hamband.
Also wall of noise jamming on 9725 Nov 14 at 2302 vs nothing audible, but HFCC
shows 9725 as IBB Greenville Spanish at 0000-0100 daily, also 0100-0200
Tue-Sat, i.e. the combo VOA/Mart? broadcast, but no longer starting at 2300
since DST went off in W?shington. Duh!
9928, DCJC pulses against nothing Nov 15 at 1350, probably spur from 9955/9965
walls of noise. 15278, Nov 15 at 1446, jamming pulses, presumed spur of 15330
vs Mart?, and also circa 15385 vs REE Sephardic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 10240-10265, OTH radar pulses, Nov 15 at 1352; since Firedrake was
VG on 10500, might have assumed this too from China, but 25-kHz spread is
typical of Cyprus (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI absent for the third day in a row during the 13 UT
English hour, at least: nothing there Nov 15 at 1340 check; and once again the
other transmitter down the Cimanggis hall on 9680 with RRI domestic was still
on as usual, in Indonesian over QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 21540, Nov 15 at 1433, REE Spanish atop a SAH, so R.
Kuwait is still here too probably until 1500. Has anyone found their 18-21
English yet, which had been on 15540, and before that on 11990? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 21695, Nov 15 at 1548, VOA with unusually good signal and modulation
for a change, YL with heavy accent about replacing the OAU with something
Qaddafic on 9/9/99, due to an Al-Fatah resolution (revolution?); SSOB but with
BFO we can tell the carrier is still slightly unstable. 1556 sign-off message
cut off before OM could give schedule, but carrier on until 1559* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15290 pop music with heavy beat, Nov 15 at 1544, then at 1545 same
// 17540; soon into Arabic about Romania, so no question of the RRI identity as
we can`t imagine any other Arabic-speaking station having anything at all to
say about Rumania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, Emisi?n Sefarad en judeo-espa?ol de REE, Monday Nov 15 at 1435
M speaking Castilian about the WW II years, interviewed by W speaking JE. The
two are so close that they have no trouble understanding each other, tho it
would be nice with only one semihour per week if this broadcast could be
totally in JE. 1444 some nice Sephardic music, marred by lite clix, probably
spurs from DentroCuban Jamming Command against Mart? on 15330. 1448 discussing
film festivals, fill with Triumphal March from A?da (is there a Jewish
connexion?); 1453 sign-off with schedule still including 11780 for South
America UT Tuesdays 0115. Someone should write sefarad @ rtve.es and tell them
that they are colliding with Bras?lia, and should go back to 11795, but why
should it be up to a bylistener in OK? Does anyone care in their intended
audience? She should also be told that giving the Spain/UT days only for the
schedule could be confusing to casual listeners in
the Am?ricas: `o sea lunes por la tarde` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Looking for LRA36, we again notice TRT 15480 running overtime: Nov
15 at 1400 an accurate timesignal, Turkish continuing here and on // 15350.
Finally 15480 cuts off at 1405:21* by when 15350 is also off (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Nov 15 at 1359, outro for Ask WWCR, so Monday 1345 time is
confirmed. Online schedule
http://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf
despite many monthly updates has failed to specify which day of week this
airing is; in the M-F schedule we know that some of the 1330 programs are a
semi-hour, Tue & Wed, but how about Thu & Fri? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 9840-, Nov 15 at 1342 YL in English with Viet accent concluding
review of major news of the past week; then report on PM visiting Cambodia.
Good signal but het since VOV is slightly low in frequency. Don`t often hear
this direct, but 9840 is one of their longtime frequencies.
B-10 schedule in DXLD 10-45 shows it at 1000-1530, 2200-2400 including English
at 1000, 1130, 1230, 1330, 1500, 2330. The QRM would be VOR Moscow site
registered after 1300. WHRI also has 9840 available 13-22, but activates it
much shorter hours; I think on weekends only it is on this early (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
