** ANGUILLA. Caribbean Beacon finally back on the air after missing since Sept
5, heard Sept 13 at 0455 on 6090 with PMS; also on 11775 at 1308 with DGS. Some
reported 11775 back on as of Sept 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 13: at 1255 nothing on 8400, poor on 9000.
9985 at 1306 Sept 13, CNR1 jamming mix with VOA Chinese, via Saipan, same as on
9845, where VOA is via Tinang; 9985 is used by VOA only for this single hour,
and consequently the jamming; WWCR 9980 had not built up to super-strength yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC, Sunday Sept 13 at 1453, slow marches by military band, on 15360,
13780, 13760, 11760; is that the end of the scheduled La Cultura en Cuba show?
Was looking for Alo, Presidente channels, but none on the air this week: 13750,
13680, 12010, 11690. Back on 13780, at 1457:30, end music without any
back-announcement, RHC ID as for ``Norte, Centro y Sudamerica, y el area del
Mediterraneo``. The latter is iffy, and certainly not at this hour; included
clip from Fidel announcing years ago that Cuba now had an international radio
voice; and multilingual ID I had not heard before: Spanish, English,
Portuguese, Esperanto, Arabic, Quechua/Guarani (or vice versa?), French,
Creole. At 1500, 13780 cuts modulation to open carrier, vs Austria-via-Canada
starting 13775, but 13780 still on at 1505.
Spanish continued past 1500 on 13760, 11760; I gather some revolutionary hero
had died, so that might explain the martial music earlier. 11760 is supposed to
be in Esperanto at 1500-1530 Sundays, but that language must be the lowest
priority, getting no respect, and easily bumped off. Aside from its novelty,
doesn`t matter, as its content is the same old crap as in the other languages,
five-heroes obsession, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 13690, at 1559 Sept 13, BBCWS with `V` interval signal, but hiccuping
at the first dit, 1600 timesignal and opening Russian via Rampisham, bothered
by WYFR on 13695. Which BBC services get the V and which get the B-B-C- note
chimes? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Unlike the previous morning, WWV indeed audible on 2500 as late as
1250 Sept 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
