** CUBA. Correcting the RHC Nov 2 schedule changes I copied from En Contacto in my report earlier today Nov 8:
Good quality off-air recording already available by 2100 UT Sunday at
http://programasdx.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-11-08T10_12_45-08_00
and after birthday greetings, the sked info starts at 2:54 into the 13:45 file.
Upon listening to the tape, here is what Malena axually said, in translation: ``The rest [uncited] remain EXCEPT these: 15370, 13760, 11805, 12000, 9550, 6180, 5965, 11875, 5965 [again]. These frequencies will be in effect until March 2010.``
But this final remark must refer to the previous list with times, not the list cited immediately prior, they should have made clear. Indeed, RHC had not been on 15370, 11805, 12000, 9550 or 11875 for a long time before Nov 2, so why bring them up now? Not only are they running behind about current frequencies, but even more so about former frequencies.
Also, I typoed 13730 instead of correct 11730. Make it:
13-22 11730 CAm
Notice that new 6150, which has been running after 0500, was not mentioned; because experimental, or temporary?? And there may be other omissions.
Meanwhile, RHC check Nov 8 at 1943: filatelia show on 6110, 11730, 11760, 13770, the only frequencies found running this Sunday afternoon while several others were still occupied by Hugo Chávez Frías; see VENEZUELA [non].
I would not be at all surprised if En Contacto also appears once or twice more in the 15-20 period as it has after 0500. The program schedule at http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_programacion/programacion.htm
still does not show anything between 15 and 21 or 05 and 11 despite RHC Spanish expansion to 24 hours as of late June or early July, over a third of a year ago, tnx to the Honduran golpistas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. Re my ``UNIDENTIFIED: 11995, Nov 7 at 1935 with ME music, then undermodulated talk unseems Arabic but similar. I was looking for Kuwait English on 11990, but only a very weak carrier there compared to this good signal --- but nothing scheduled on 11995 after 1900 when France supposedly concludes in French.``
Tnx to a log from Harold Sellers, BC, on the last day of A-09, Oct 24, of Libya in Hausa on 11995 at 1924, now it`s obvious what this must have been, V of Africa still running the A-09 frequency, not in the B-09 Aoki or HFCC skeds because this transmission is now supposed to be on 11860 and 11965. 24 hours later, Nov 8 at 1942 I check them all: nothing audible on 11860 or 11965, but something much weaker than yesterday on 11995 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KVOH inbooming on 17775, Nov 8 at 1944 with vocoder-distorted song, quite distorted on the fundamental but also spurring out at least 10 kHz sideways. Looked for the further spurs which sometimes appear around 145 kHz above and below, and yes, some distortion noise peaks circa 17922 and 17638, probably thence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Aló, Presidente still running at 1940 check Sunday Nov 8, best on 12010, somewhat distorted on 13680, 17750, heavy RTTY QRM on 11690, but 13750 off the air: the latter is the one caught earlier running regular RHC instead. However, the daily RNV CI 19-20 broadcast on 15290 was inbooming with Bolivarian programming at 1951, not // to A,P or RHC. Perhaps that`s the transmitter which would have been on 13750 until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
