** ANGUILLA. PMS, 6090, Oct 9 at 0545 with big hum. No such problem via // WWCR
5935, which still had a good signal at this late hour, so it`s a problem at
Anguilla, not at LA or the uplink. Wiggle that patchcord! See also CUBA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC in English, 6140, UT Thu Oct 9 at 0547, ``Ed Newman`` with mailbag
show, evading a question about what the qualifications are to become president
of Cuba. He also said the listener correspondence office is across the street
from RHC in another building, so when they bring the letters over (shuffling of
papers), they have to be careful not to get run over. Big hum on this
frequency, of slightly lower pitch than the hum on Anguilla 6090; no such
problem on // 6000 or weaker 6060. Wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. Rechecking 11920, where VozAndes appeared the day before, nothing
there Oct 8 at 1355, tho 11960 was on as usual. So 11920 must have been a
mistake. BTW, I was going to mention this on WOR 1429 as in the headlines, but
never got to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [and non]. 15495 at 1410 Oct 8 in apparent S Asian language, which
per Aoki is Bondo on Wednesdays at 1400-1415 from Gospel for Asia via
Wertachtal at 90 degrees. Of more interest was the interference, wideband noise
I was hearing from 15490 to 15510. This buzz reminded me of the defective Saudi
Arabian transmitter, but nothing such scheduled around here, and that has not
been happening for several weeks where it used to. Nothing at all scheduled on
15500 at this hour; Kuwait on 15505, but not heard. By 1425 the noise was no
longer heard, by which time 15495 was in Gamit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 11786, Oct 8 at 1359 with ID in English; 1400 hets from
Firedrake and VOA 11785 go off, but VOI signal only poor with IS, 1403 opening
presumed Malay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Some mornings XEXQ is just barely audible, or inaudible on 6045, but
Oct 9 it was quite good at 1302, as YL announcer was identifying music with
opus numbers and key signatures in the do-re-mi style, then unusual
oriental-sounding piece with flute, chimes, gongs, narration, a companion to
Firedrake on 6030; 1307 segué into more traditional classical music. No more
announcements heard until 1345, but a one+ minute break in transmission at
1341. Was running about S9+10, and with weak rippling SAH from E Asian
transmitter. Respectable modulation level too from San Luís Potosí, as heard on
my main receiver, FRG-7 with E-W longwire, but surprised it was also audible on
the DX-390 at the breakfast table which uses only the reel-out interior wire
clipped to the whip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. Live coverage of the second presidential debate UT Oct 8:
At 0135, 6040 just barely audible with het, 9820 inaudible, presumably
unusually poor propagation from Greenville. 6080 from Africa also very poor,
barely detectable with QRM. WBCQ confirmed with it on 5110-CUSB. REE Spain with
Spanish translation on 6055. I expect the same will happen for the third and
final debate, UT Thu Oct 16 from 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1429,
