** CUBA. 13740, Sunday May 12 at 1336, RHC `En Contacto`, Arnie opens saying that bitrate has been improved on RHC webcasts; also archive of programs by podcast, i.e. at http://www.radiohc.cu/es/audios including the latest EC already. I see that another show link has unnecessary accent, ``El mundo de la Filatélia`` --- ¿is that to make clear it is not to be pronounced Filatelía?
English are here: http://www.radiohc.cu/en/audios

So was my dead air in Azeri or Turkish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Ray Robinson replies on the WOR iog about why I had no signal from KVOH 17775, Sat May 11 at 1514:
``Sadly, another minor tube failure, awaiting replacement parts. Should be back on by Tue/Wed [May 14/15]. Ray Robinson, Voice of Hope World Radio Network, Americas/Africa/Middle East, www.voiceofhope.com``
Now I am still wondering if this is about the old transmitter or the ``new`` one; unclear on what date new started, if yet. Apparently, only one is operable now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
