[HCDX] Venezuela barely back via Cuba

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** VENEZUELA [non]. I listened carefully to the reactivated RNV relay via Cuba,
Sept 5 at 1900 on 13740, still giving its defunct Apartado 3979 address, and
then announcing its full schedule, which is different than before, and all
times given in UT, with the times seemingly correct for a change:

1900-2000 13740 San Francisco
2000-2100  9550 Caribe
2000-2100 13680 Chicago
2000-2100 15230 Buenos Aires
2000-2100 17705 Rio de Janeiro
2100-2200 11875 Santiago de Chile
2300-0000 9820 y 13680 Chicago
2300-0000 11760 Norte, Centro y Sud-América

Note they no longer mention a broadcast to Wáshington on 6000. That and other
outdated/incorrect info still appears on the RNV website, in unspecified local
times. Just disregard that and hope no one else posts or publishes the
don`t-you-believe RNV schedule from its own website.

I kept checking and at 2000 when four frequencies are supposed to be on, I
could only hear 15230, poorly, tho reportedly it is strong in South America.
Nothing audible on 9550 or 13680, and 17705 as always blocked by the
super-signal of Greece via Delano. At 2100, 11875 was inaudible [tho recently
reported from Spain as if it were RHC]. I also checked for the 2000 frequencies
during the 2100 and 2200 hours, just in case. And the 2100 and 2300 frequencies
during the 2200 hour, but nothing. During the 2300 hour, none of the
frequencies heard either, except 13680 --- which is actually occupied by CRI
English via Sackville \\ 6145.

But, unless it gets wiped out again by Ivan, expect more of the Venezuela
relays via Cuba to come back, as well as China relays, and RHC itself.

BTW, a quick check of 11760, 13680, 13750, 15230, earlier after 1400 UT this
Sunday did not turn up any Aló Presidente (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
