** ARGENTINA [and non]. Another check of the 15345 collision, Saturday April 14 starting a few minutes before 2200: REE with stupid ballgame in Spanish, and Morocco in Arabic were this time roughly 6 Hz apart, as indicated by SAH; at first did not hear audible het from RAE. Both ran well past 2200, but REE announcers wrapped up sports coverage just before timesignal, then news until transmitter went off at 2204:30*. This left Morocco still on and now audible with Qur`an, and growing wavering het from unstable RAE transmitter, until Morocco went off at 2207:30* leaving RAE alone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. Surprised to hear R. Prague concluding English broadcast on 6000 via Sackville, April 14 at 2356, plugging a contest, apparently under Cuban open carrier as audio somewhat suppressed. At 2359 a beep, and Prague audio ceased. The semihour at 2330 on 6000 is supposed to be in Spanish per http://www.radio.cz/en/frequencies which has also finally managed to add WRMI relays which were missing from it at the beginning of A-07. I suspect that RCI played back the wrong file, as sometimes happened during the now canceled morning relay which was at 1400 in A-06, 1500 for the rest of 2006y. BTW, another Sackville relay is shown in English at 0330 on 6080. At 0010 April 15 I also heard Prague on 11665, via Ascension, this time in correct language, Spanish, with historical feature about something going on in the XVI century. RHC Spanish audio on 6000 did not start up until 0001, a few seconds apart from its // 6180, which BTW among 49m frequencies listed gave only 5965 where also heard, and 6000, not 6180. 5965 and 6180 were synchronized, 6000 slightly apart causing a reverb with 6180 when monitored simultaneously, so different site or feed route (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. R. Cairo, English to NAm on 9460, April 14 at 2348, fair carrier, but just barely audible music modulation. Tried to detect Albania co-channel, now that second Shijak transmitter has reactivated, but could not hear anything but Cairo, and not // 7425 Tirana. April 15 at 0014 better modulation from Cairo with woman speaking in English, but still muffled and hard to understand. 0015 timesignal which was 13.5 seconds behind CHU, with news headlines for only a sesquiminute, and then back to music; at 0020 the music level dropped dramatically to barely audible again. 0026 closing announcement with program summary for next day starting at 1 am Cairo time, mostly incomprehensible. (timeanddate.com says DST of UT +3 in Egypt does not start until April 27, lasting until September 7, both Fridays; this does not affect UTiming of SWBCs, but must affect their program summaries in irrelevant local time.) 0028 back to music, 0030 another 13.5-second-slow timesignal, opening in Arabic with theme. Not // much weaker Arabic to LAm on 9360 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. FCC says WWRB is authorized on 9385 at 1300-2300, but still going with Brother Scare, April 14 at 2346; finally pulled the plug sometime in next four minutes, since vacant at next tuneby 2350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
