Cuba, 6140, Radio Havana Cuba, 1040-1103, Noted a
silent carrier on 6140 which is
rather strong. This might be Baltic Radio, but
doubtful? Will wait until the hour to see what
happens? At 1100 noted faint comments by a male which
gradually increased to reveal a
male in Spanish language comments. The Spanish seemed
to be Castilian. Thus this turned
out to be Radio Havana Cuba as the male gave an ID at
1103. Signal at 1103 was good.

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, no sign of LRA36 Jan 3 at 1404, as another year starts
without the presence on shortwave of Radio Nacional Arc?ngel San Gabriel (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9450, Jan 3 at 1524, good reception of a familiar balalaika tune,
applause, 1525 Chinese ID; and // 7445 at 1531 in apparent `live` performance
with much more music, 1550 with lots of percussion, not to be confused with
Firedrake which continues to be audible here only on 6030 between 13 and 14.
9450 cut off after timesignal at 1600* sharp. CNR1 is only on these frequencies
as a jammer! 9450 vs Sound of Hope, Taiwan, and 7445 vs R. Free Asia, Tinian,
neither of which had any chance to be heard way over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENINGN DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. DXLD members have remarked that they haven`t heard a new RHC
DXers Unlimited for weeks, and that Arnie has not updated his blog with scripts
since the Nov 28 issue attacking gh. However, I ran across a new DXUL starting
UT Monday January 3 at 0610 on 6150; at least he called it the ``New Year
edition`` before I tuned out.
9725 and 9825 both had weak remnants of pulse jamming, Jan 3 at 1353, 1355.
9725 against nothing, and 9825 vs something in Chinese, i.e. ChiCom CNR1
jamming against VOA via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, Commies vs Commies!
DentroCuban jamming on 9825 is only `necessary` at 00-03 when R. Mart? is on.
And 9725 at 00-02, which is VOA Spanish, but both presumably still doing the
joint produxion ``A Fondo`` at 01-02, UT Tue-Sat only (however, this week`s R.
Mart? program grid shows Friday = UT Saturday is pre-empted by ``Baseball [sic]
de las Grandes Ligas`` which I find hard to believe on January 7, unless the
Cubans are so fanatic that they must hear playbacks off-season.
15230, Jan 3 at 1406 check, RHC weak but lacking CRI English via Sackville CCI.
Not Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
VENEZUELA [non]
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9525-, VOI at 1345 Jan 3, on the air in English with
IADs; checked after 1500, off the air, audiblizing a weak signal on 9525.0,
only listee being CRI English via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [non]. 7335, VOR via GUIANA FRENCH, UT Jan 3 at 0326 is back in
proper language Spanish, instead of Russian the night before, with New Year
greeting. Recheck 0558 was signing off with frequency-less schedule for Spanish
starting at 2100 for Europe, 0100 for Latin America. TDF cut it off as the URL
was being given, ``spanish punto``. Yes, the English word, ``Spanish``. After
0600, Vatican IS audible much more weakly on 7335, mixed with Tunisia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1430, Jan 2 at 2126 UT on caradio, skywave is inbooming already, and
some norte?a music is atop the two Oklahomans and anything else on the channel.
Retuned just in time at 2159 to hear illegal ID in Spanish as ``KRGI, 14-30
AM``. That`s a new one on me in Spanish, or English. Looked up later in the NRC
AM Log 2010-2011, completed in August, KRGI is in Grand Island NE, and format
then was NWS/TLK, i.e. in English. Evidently recent change, as find nothing
about it in DX News AM Switch or log reports searched from January 10 issue
back thru Oct 25.
Checking its own website http://www.krgi.com/ you would think it is still in
English, with a weekday talk lineup skewing to far right wackos. Except, as of
0040 UT Jan 3, ``Now playing`` displays ``LA MARIQUITA / LOS RAZOS DE
SACRAMENTO Y REYNALDO``. Maybe it`s Spanish only on weekends or Sundays?
Here we go: under WEEKEND TALK [sic] schedule for Sunday only, it admits:
``Spanish Programing with Jacinto Corona Noon-Midnight``, i.e. Sun 18-06 UT
Monday. At the same hours on Saturday, ``Music (Seasonal Programming)
Noon-Midnight`` which I suppose was just now Xmassy, but so vague it could also
be construed to include norte?a somewhen. As the low SW sun kept getting in my
eyes, signals from the north were dominating, with KOZN-1620 NE, KXTR-1660 and
KMAN-1350 KS also dominating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9405, Jan 3 at 0605 check, just barely audible signal, presumably the
new for 2011y WINB all-night broadcast of Radio 2:11. Like I said, propagation
on this band is very iffy in the nightmiddle. However, southerly signals from
WYFR were still strong and WRMI also audible.
Have yet to determine how early WINB 13570 is signing on now; but 9265 was
missing at 1345 Jan 3. At 1603 I happened to tune across 9330-CUSB, WBCQ with
Radio 2:11 ID mentioning WBCQ only. Does Rod Hembree himself not know his stuff
is also on WINB now? Same thing appears 13 seconds later on 13570 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 15250, RNV via CUBA, Jan 2 at 2328, during music, with
carrier cutting off, or rather down, timed at 96 times per minute; the rate
varies a little bit. No such problem on // 13680. It`s one of countless
technical deficiencies periodically plaguing RHC transmitters, and observed
occasionally before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
