** ANGUILLA. After several days missing due to some local problem, DGS on Caribbean Beacon heard back on air Dec 10 at 1435 on 11775, but with constant lite noise in background. Seems like a satellite downlink or dish positioning problem. Also Dec 11 around 0600 on 6090 with DRM ACI de Luxembourg 6095 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. On Dec 12, 6000 in Spanish was still going at 0701, but off when I tuned by again at 0702. 6060, however, was opening Teatro de la Opera, a CMBF program I have heard before at this time. Then found it also on 9550 at 0712. Maybe the engineer on duty at site likes to listen to R. Musical Nacional before going home; is it every UT Tuesday? May as well put it on Monitoring Reminders Calendar. Feature on Giuseppe di Stefano, with some great old recordings, but his rendition of ``Celeste Aïda`` was cut off before he finished at 0720 to brief open carrier and off. How rude. You never know when they will pull the plug. Meanwhile another RHC frequency, 6180 was still on at 0708 with speech in Spanish (not Fidel or Hugo) about Venezuela. Perhaps had switched to feed from another domestic network after English closing nominally at 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) On Dec 12 at 0701 check, R. Martí was on 5980 with jamming. But the poor DentroCuban Jamming Command had to split its resources to keep 5890 jammed as well, altho RM was not on it at the moment. I wonder if RM switches 5890/5980 from one night to the next or back and forth during the transmission, but am not about to stay up later to find out. Likewise at 1506 Dec 12 I found heavy jamming on 11750, but no RM, where I had heard it loud & clear only once before. RM was coming thru the usual jamming on 11930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GABON. ANU Le Buzz, 19160, Dec 10 at 1441 // fundamental 9580 but at this hour stronger on 19160. Also Dec 11 at 1503, 19160 buzz with some modulation underneath, ranging S4 to S9 +7. And Dec 12 at 1514, steady at S9 +10 with buzz, and traces of voice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. Stood by on 9525 at 1530 Dec 12 after a sesqihour of hum and traces of modulation, to find out exactly when VOI would begin the 6:24 Gam-Drake loop with frequent English IDs. It was at 1532 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JORDAN. R. Jordan, 11690, Dec 12 at 1500-1503 with R. Jordan 96.3 FM ID and 3 minutes of news during pause in pop music before and after. All the news concerned the Middle East; how provincial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA [non]. V. of Africa, 17725 via France, Dec 12 at 1512 with big carrier, hum/buzz and occasional clix, but no voice modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) (I have been busy with Monitoring Times column, so not much monitoring time for myself the past few days) ____________________________________________________________________________________ Cheap talk?
