** CUBA. Surprised to find an unID language on 11705 (not 17705), fair to good
signal, May 9 at 1939 --- soon became obvious it`s RHC with mentions of ``Viva
la Revoluci?n``, into a song; and 1942 talk mentioning Cuba and Habana.
Modulation stopped abruptly at 1944 and carrier off less than a minute later.
Some kind of test; this is during the 5-hour break when RHC is supposedly not
doing any broadcasting of its own between 1500 and 2000, (Sunday 1530-), just
some Venezuela relays.
Unless it`s something brand-new, must have been Guarani or Quechua, which are
not on the schedule until 2230 and 0000 respectively, on 17705 (not 11705).
11705 is not on RHC`s current schedule at all tho unlike RNV, we know it is
used for the Venezuela relay at 1200-1300+. We also know it`s useless to Ask
Arnie to explain such things, which at any other station would not be
top-secret.
Back-dated transmission schedule page supposedly expiring in March,
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/frecuencia/frecuencias-espanol.htm continues to
lag behind what we axually hear. 11680, added in late March, shows at 00-05
only in Spanish, but May 9 at 2137 there it was too in French with VG strength;
French at 2130 is listed on 11760 only, where there was no signal. Meanwhile
9505 was in Creole, 11750, 11800 and 9550 in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. R. Africa is back, on 15190.0, after a three-week
absence, last heard April 17. Now heard May 8 at 1958 with ratchety-voiced US
preacher rattling off the usual catch-phrases, no break for ID at 2000 but none
needed. Only fair with deep fades, but most of the signals on 19m were
degraded. Joined at 2000 by Harold Camping YFR via Ascension 15195. Apparently
correlates with the other Bata transmitter 5005 also reported back on the air a
few days ago.
Tho it was back May 8, R. Africa gone again from 15190 May 9 at 1938, 2128
chex; but tuning around at the earlier time I did discover something new from
CUBA, q.v., so thank you, Bata (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. It appears that the ALLISS rotatable antennas at Montsin?ry
are very direxional, without much on side- or backlobes, unlike so many other
sites. May 9 until 2130*, 17630 with music concluding RFI Spanish semi-hour to
C America was extremely strong, while right next to it, 17620, French to W
Africa which continued, was barely audible --- despite the fact that 17620 per
HFCC is running 500 kW vs 250 kW on 17630, and the respective azimuths are 75
and 295 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MOROCCO. Fair signal S9+18 on 15345.0, but barely perceptible modulation,
and could not be certain of language, mostly talk, May 9 at 2146-2202*. This is
typical sign-off time for Nador site of R. Marocaine, as WRTH calls it, and no
sign of variable Argentina this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Another check of 13590 to see how 1Africa/CVC Zambia is
doing vs the collisions, May 9 at 1310 and immediately heard ``Soviet Hymn``,
an odd time to be playing it, but must be VOR as scheduled 12-14 via
Novosibirsk at 110 degrees in Mongolian for Mongolia and China, per Eibi and
HFCC. And it was mixing with a weaker station, producing SAH, no doubt CVC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. REE`s new service to Brasil, May 9 at 2130 on 17595, with
W&W discussing Espanha in Portuguese with Brazilian accent; 2142 Spanish lesson
frequently interrupted by tone cues. 17595 signal was poor, but better than a
weaker co-channel producing a slow SAH, and not // 15110 REE main stream in
Spanish which was as usual extremely strong direct from Spain and expanding
into sidebands making 15105 and 15115 useless. 15110 is 250 kW from Noblejas at
302 degrees. 17595 is 250 kW at 248 degrees, and it collides with WEWN in
English --- I won`t guess at the real power, 85 degrees, at 1900-2200, part of
which collides with Spain. It must be pretty bad in the Caribbean area, and
WEWN`s W Africa target, maybe not so bad in Brasil.
You will not find Portuguese on REE`s schedule in the WRTH May Update, and not
even 17595 on the air at this time, since it says M-F 10-19, Sat-Sun 12-22, and
this was a Friday, all to America, not specified whether N, C or S, so maybe
means all of them.
EiBi, however, has the Portuguese hours:
17595 1800-1900 Mo-Fr E Radio Exterior Espa?a P SAm
17595 2100-2200 Mo-Fr E Radio Exterior Espa?a P SAm
And nothing on M-F 1900-2100, so apparently REE just comes back on at 21 for
the repeat hour in Brazilian, reducing the collision with WEWN to one hour on
weekdays. And 17595 is the only frequency opting out for the Brazilian service.
Aoki does not show the Portuguese at all.
This apparently official sked, tho posted on an unofficial site, does show the
10 hours of Portuguese per week as in EiBi:

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Re my May 5 log on 6854.2, an unID pirate at 0112-0208:
Must have been The Crystal Ship, as Brian Alexander was hearing it at same time
on exactly same frequency, and he got an ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
