*As Hurricane Hanna approached Bahamas, ZNS 1540 again heard in North 
 America; normally has deep null toward continent centered on Waterloo
*Unidentified on 6185 at 1002, Radio Libertad, or Comunidad or Verdad, 
 unseems R. Educación, México as usual; apparently the latter no 
 longer running all-night, ends at 0600?

 http://www.nrcdxas.org/articles/index1.html
*WORLD OF RADIO confirmed at new times on WRMI 9955, Sat 2000, Sun 
 2030
*Why not ``Ask Arnie`` why Cuba finds it necessary to jam a competing 
 English-language DX program?
*All RHC frequencies and R. Rebelde 5025 were missing for at least an 
 hour the morning of Sept 1, after Gustav crossed western Cuba; but 
 jamming against WRMI and R. Martí, plus relays of China and Venezuela 
 continued, confirming our assertion that jamming has priority over 
 RHC for the power available
*New R. Rebelde relay on 1550 in Nuevitas, Camagüey, but also a Cuban 
 swisher-jammer against Florida on same frequency
*R. Amanecer, 1560, Dominican Republic, moved to 1580 to accommodate 
 R. Universidad ASD on 1560, which also plans SW 3 kW on 4720

 Faique, Perú, reactivated on 5602.4, heard in Colombia at 2210-2240
*Bolivian heard again on 4498.2, from Guayaramerín until 2301, 
 presumably R. Estambul as before
*RAE, Argentina, off the air while awaiting replacement tubes, but 
 still webcasting

 5940, 5945 during the 2300 UT hour

 P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA or woradio at yahoo.com

 stations which carry our program. If you want a card especially for

*Algeria`s longwave 252 jumped to 250 kHz, putting heterodyne on 
 Ireland 252 [but only for a couple of nights]

 17655 and 21555, sites not stated but probably France
*Ethiopian Review article about it gives local time as 2:00-2:30, but 
 since they start counting from sundown instead of noon, we would call 
 it 8 pm, = 1700 UT in the UT+3 zone
*Egypt on 6290, Arabic to North America was closing at 0200 all summer 
 due to DST of UT +3, but now running past 0200. DST ended early just
