[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 17-18

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CUBA. RHC`s weekly Esperanto broadcast, Sunday Dec 17 at 1504 on 11760 only,
mentioned George Bush, so even this must be politicized; but then about Prof.
Zamenhof, inventor of the language, so it`s incestuous too. The speaker slipped
at one point, pronouncing ``Ameriko`` as ``Amériko`` rather than ``Ameríko`` as
it is an absolute rule that all words including proper nouns must be stressed
on the penultimate, regardless of the original language. I wasted some time
hunting around the RHC websites for an Esperanto service page but all I found
were articles about the five so-called heroes in US prisons (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** ECUADOR. HCJB, 11960 in Spanish, still announcing two wrong frequencies at
1459 Dec 18, 11760 and 9745, the latter for Mexico about to close. Trouble is,
9745 has been replaced by 11960 for this season, and the other frequency has
never been 11760, but 11690 for SAm. La Voz de los Andes thus refers countless
obedient listeners to Marxist Radio Habana Cuba, or in this case Radio Habana
Kubo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GABON. Big buzz on 4777 from RTVG, Dec 18 at 0605 check next to Nigeria on
4770. No modulation audible from 4777 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9690, Monday Dec 18 at 1441 with mailbag show acknowledging
report from one José in San Cristóbal, Táchira, Venezuela. M&W hosts end show
at 1444 in unison with ``Faithfully Yours!``. 1444 into film music programme.
F-G signal, about as good as this one gets here far from the SE Asian target
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. I came across some S Asian music on 9895, Dec 18 at
1529, but a minute later it was wiped out by DRM starting on 9890. 9895 must
have been Bible Voice Broadcasting in the middle of an Hindi hour on Mondays
via Wertachtal, and 9885-9890-9895 RNZI as currently scheduled, also bothering
the relatively strong signal from WEWN in Spanish on 9885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. Ran across an interesting interview on WEWN, 9955, Sunday
Dec 17 at 1440 with a British woman from Vatican Radio who had had an
interesting career, having started by setting up a Catholic FM station in
Zambia with no experience. Compared the different approaches WEWN and VR take
to broadcasting. Basic info about VR, but did not point out that Fr. Lombardi
is also the Pope`s own PR man now. She also compared the virtues of different
orders, led by the Franciscans, of which she is one. At closing 1457, name
sounded like Sr. Janet Ferns (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
