** CUBA. While 15460 and 17660 had been overflowing with lovely Cuban music,
afterwards at 2208 June 7 RHC itself on 9550 was playing Que lindo es México,
and some Andean music until 2217 outroing ``Cancionero Iberoamericano``
program, a time for it I was not aware of. This long-running show appears
nowhere on the RHC Spanish program schedule at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/programacion.htm but we have heard it reliably
Saturdays at 1430 when their sked claims it`s ``Sonido Cubano``; now Saturdays
2200 is being added for C.I. to MONITORING REMINDERS CALENDAR. RHC just shows
``Revista Iberoamericana`` Mon-Sat 2100-2300 without detailing any programs
within it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VENEZUELA [non]
** EGYPT. R. Cairo, 11549.4, June 7 at 2206 with YL in English, S9+18 but
distorted and undermodulated, virtually unreadable, despite absence of the
usual equal or stronger signal from WEWN which is still scheduled on 11550.0
until 2400* Maybe off the air for some reason or totally not propagating (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWCR, 9980, Scriptures for America service, Saturday June 7 as I
tuned by at 2210, found huge carrier but barely modulated, not PPP speaking but
someone with a German accent, I suppose proud of his shade (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via Cuba, 11670, June 7 at 2204 had a slightly variable
SAH averaging 2 Hz, but no other modulation to be heard. Nor is there any other
station on 11670 at this time in any of the online schedules. Maybe confusion
among the different RHC sites with more than one of them transmitting? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The Cuban music tests: As previously reported, June 7 started at
*1559. I left 15460 on in background but not paying close attention; at 1730
turned it up and heard Cuban jamming on it for first time. So the DentroCuban
Jamming Command isn`t losing any more time in going after it, clinching it is
certainly to, rather than from Cuba. Arnie no doubt tipped them off from all
these DX monitoring reports the past few days. We should take note of whether
the music has changed any and if and when any announcements ever appear.
Presumably made usual (as in like yesterday) switch to 17660 at 1900; checked
at 2002 with perpetual music, Cuba Libre --- I think the lyrix might be
offensive to the Free Territory in America; and at 2016:30 Guantanmera. These
play at almost the same minutes every hour.
17660 was even stronger than 15460, S9+22 and could never detect any jamming on
17660. Hmmm, 17660 was used in A-07 for RNW weekend relay via Sackville during
this time period, 285 degrees; Sackville now at 2016 with RCI on 17735 is much
weaker, 105 degrees, the reciprocal azimuth, not that this proves anything. If
R. República is behind this, we know that they already have dealings with
Sackville.
This hour Guantanamera started at 2016:30; Cuba Linda ended at 2100, pause, and
then Cuba Libre started. Kept listening until 2159* abruptly off shortly after
another replay of Cuba Libre had started. I then scoured all bands from 6 to 22
MHz for a successor frequency, but none found. Never heard any jamming on 17660
