[Swprograms] Bonaire MIA and other anomalies

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

RN`s only frequency in English to NAm in the evening is missing: zero on 6165
before and after 0130 UT Nov 3. What`s going on in Bonaire??

I just looked at
http://www2.rnw.nl/rnw/en/features/media/practical/schedule051030.html?view=Standard
to be sure about the nominal schedule. Yes, 6165 Bonaire is supposed to be on
to CNAm at 01-02 (as well as ENAm 00-01). And there is no longer any second
frequency.

This page has always behaved strangely for me. When it first comes up, the
inside frame shakes for a few seconds, I suppose as all the material is
loading. I don`t see this on other websites. This happens on many other if not
all RN pages with this middle frame.

Now there is the notice about the Madagascar water situation at the top. But
when I start to scroll down, it vanishes into a white space. Weird!

Also strange is that for the past couple days at least, this page
http://www.rnw.nl/en/html/wednesday.html
where there are details about the Documentaries, not to be heard at 0127 on
6165, already displays a date of Nov 17! And that will be a Thursday (Glenn

At 0215 I checked all three scheduled Bonaire frequencies: 6165 was still
missing tho it is supposed to be RN Spanish; but 6100 with DW in German was
going strong, and 11935 with NHK in Japanese was audible. Obviously relay
clients get higher priority than RN`s own programs when one transmitter is
down. A sad situation. At least for Spanish there is a second frequency, 9895
scheduled via Madagascar, audible weakly here. But is it really Madagascar at
the moment? Is Bonaire also serving as backup for Madagascar, pulling the 6165
transmitter somewhere else? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
