** CUBA. RHC shifts again which frequencies are in English and which in Spanish after 0500. Aug 13 at 0535, English on 6010, 6060, and 6140; Spanish on 6000, 6120. 11760 may have been on the air but on this occasion dominated by NHK in Russian, along with a SAH. Most nights recently, 6140 has been in Spanish instead. Of course RHC`s own current online transmission schedule continues to show nothing but English after 0500.
RHC also continues secret midday transmission in Spanish, reconfirmed August 13 at 1655 at least on 13760, 11800 distorted, 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. PRES via WRN via WRMI, axually on the 9955 air, Aug 12 at 2007 check, Slawek Szefs recognizable right away, 2010 to YL on home schooling. Signal was fading up to fair, then down to poor. WRN relays are on the WRMI (webcast) schedule M-F at 16-24 UT, but the SW transmitter has mostly been silent. Jeff White indicated it would be more active due to HFCC in the Dominican Republic 17-21 August: http://www.hfcc.org/B09puntacana.html and has already started. Many other broadcasters with no SW such as Israel and Ireland, or difficult-to-hear-in-NAm SW are involved in this service gratis tnx to WRMI. See schedule at http://www.wrn.org/listeners/schedules/schedule.php?ScheduleID=2&CurrentTZID=3&Show=week. However, WRMI schedule grid shows this entire 40-hour-per-week block in English is on the LAm/Carib antenna, not the NAm antenna. However2, no sign of WRMI 9955 at 1655 UT check August 13; so you never know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. RTI, 5950 via WYFR, UT Thursday Aug 13 at 0535 had comedy by two guys faking exaggerated British accents, then back to American, subjects including land sharx, pandas on demand. Must have been Instant Noodles show. No swearing noted. Not terribly funny, but kudos for trying, as there is far too little comedy on shortwave! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC, 9370v, accompanied by distorted no-carrier spurs at plus and minus 30 kHz, 9340 and 9400, August 13 at 0528-0532 during martial choral hymn. Each spur covered roughly 15 kHz. Another weaker one could be detected around 9315, but not 9425. 9370 fundamental was stronger than usual, S9+22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
