** CHINA. Firedrake July 23: at 1309 audible on 8400, a bit better on 9000; not on 13970. 15285 CNR1 jamming was making it thru (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC check July 23 at 0630 news by `Ed Newman`: English this time on 6010, 6060 and 6140, while Spanish was on 6000, 6120 and 11760. Other nights 6140 has been in Spanish, and sometimes 11760 is in English.
Quick check at 1629 found 11760 and 13760 still on the air in extended midday service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI check July 23 at 1314: still on 9524.9 with ID, URL, into Today In History (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN still missing from all frequencies for the second day in a row, July 23; at 0635 nothing on 7555, 11520 or 11870; at 1316, nothing on 11530, 11550 or 12050; at 1630 nothing on 11520, 11550 or 15610 as on the schedule http://www.ewtn.com/radio/freq.htm
Last year they were off for two weeks of maintenance, as of July 28; see DXLD 8-086, altho I believe it turned out to be not quite that long. I asked Glen Tapley and he replies July 23, 2009:
``Glenn, We are having downtime until Friday afternoon. We are repairing some slew boxes and transmitters along with our regular maintenance. We project to be back on air this weekend if all goes well. Glen``
So now`s the time to try to DX something else on or near WEWN frequencies, especially the ones flanked by those noisy plus/minus 10 kHz spurs, unless the maintenance takes care of them. For example, V. of Mesopotamia at 12-15 on 11530 (which also collides with WYFR at 04-09) (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
