CUBA / BRAZIL Terrible transmission mixture on 11880 kHz channel
in 22-23 UT hour. Noted in FL, NY, MI, and Alberta,
in these 2 hours both transmissions are USELESS to the common listener.
interesting collision (gh)
The Brazilians spit the Cubans in the radio 'soup',
with their DRM toy on the same frequency 11880 kHz.
Super strong signal in DRM mode out of Brasilia site,
of estimated around
? 90 - 100 kW ? level,
are emulated with the Brazilian 250 kW transmitter ?

BRAZIL [and non]. 11875-11880-11885, Nov 25 at 1949, TWR Bonaire
SDR is getting an S6 steady DRM noise signal here, ~9 dB SNR, but
nothing decoding to the ear. Via Richard Langley, this has just been
reported in the DRMNA iogroup as the new frequency for RNA DRM tests;
and it`s already shown on the SDR menu as available 24 hours. This
should make for an interesting collision with RHC-AM at 2100-2300 in
French, English for Africa. Further monitoring:
2055 & 2058.5, break of a few seconds in DRM noise and back on, more
to come: 2100 no sign of RHC yet, nor by 2108, just DRM. I have other
stuff to do and not rechecked until 2134 --- now RHC is on, in
Brazuguese, no less, along with the RNA DRM, roughly equal levels here
and Bonaire, then RHC mostly atop but with fades; 2139.5 & 2142, more
momentary breaks in DRM, but RHC is also off at 2141-2144. Meanwhile
someone else is trying to hear 11880-DRM via Bonaire from Patos e
Minas, Brazil. And so it goes --- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
