Glenn Hauser logs January 26, 2012

** COSTA RICA. 5965, Jan 26 at 0656 past 0704, REE Cariari relay is dead air with some hum. Wake up!? Scheduled until 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13640, Jan 26 at 1413, RHC is on this unscheduled frequency // 13670 and 13780 --- 13640 is on the air at 1930-2100 & 2200-2400, so did they forget to change frequency on this transmitter after yesterday`s broadcast? Surely it was used somewhere else in the meantime. Now it must mean some other frequency is missing: yes, 15380 is absent, while RHC is still on usual 15230 (under CRI/Sackville), 13780, 13670, 11840, 11760, 11750, 11690, 9850, 9540, ten transmitters in Spanish at once; is that enough? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Jan 26 at 1408, VOI has better signal than usual, S9+20 --- trouble is, no modulation. Then I hear some weak Indonesian words for a few sex, silence again, resume again. 1442 check, the carrier is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 6055, Jan 26 at 1450, J-pop on R. Nikkei holding up well an hour+ after local sunrise, S9+17 making it the SSOB, altho 6195 BBC rivals; less fadey and stronger than R. Australia`s Thursday jazz on 5995. Also audible on // 9595, next to another RA 9590. 1459 on 6055, sign-off announcement mentioning several JOZeta callsigns, with MHz and kW for each, to 1500:12* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
