Re: [HCDX] Radio Republica 5970

["W. Curt Deegan" <WWWR@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last night around 0300Z 11/16, I listened for the reported Cuban 
jamming against Radio Republica on 9630 kHz.

No jamming was heard even though it easily is on other Cuban jammed 
channels from MW through SW day and night, here in SE Florida.  I'll 
have to listen again to see if I can pick it up.

However, just after TOH there was a minute or so of open carrier 
during which there was a brief fade out then back in to the original 
strong level heard before TOH.  When audio resumed mention of Radio 
Miami International was made followed by the resumption of Radio 
Republica programming.  I assume facilities changes at the broadcast 
site necessitated the brief TOH drop of the 9630 signal, though no 
difference in it was noted following the few seconds interruption.

The following is from the RMI web site as translated by Babel Fish:
---
Schedule of Republica Radio:
Daily 1:00-3:00 a.m. hour of Miami in 9955 kHz (31 meters)
Monday through Friday 6:00-8:00 a.m. hour of Miami in 9955 kHz (31 meters)
Daily 11:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. hour of Miami in 9955 kHz (31 meters)
Monday through Friday 6:00-11:00 p.m. hour of Miami in 5970 kHz 
(relief via overseas)
Monday through Friday 9:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m. hour of Miami in 9630 kHz 
(foreign relief)
Saturday and Sunday 10:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m. hour of Miami in 9955 kHz (31 meters)

The distinction is noted between (relief via overseas) for the 5970 
kHz broadcasts and (foreign relief) for the reported 9630 kHz 
Sackville broadcasts -- Canada is foreign to US but not overseas, 
while European locations would be overseas.
