** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Saturday June 12 from tune-in at 1457,
LRA36 is back on after absence last Sat and Wed. S5-S7 via Pardinho,
Brasil, SDR but quite good with low noise level. Historical talk about
Antarctic bases; 1500 ID and music; 1511 ``Nacional Antártida
Argentina, en todo el país, la radio pública`` canned ID, repeated at
1515 and 1519 amid musix. 1523 contact info starting with whatsapp,
telephone, algo, facebook, e-mail. 1526 historical info, current
weather including máximo of -4. 1527 acknowledges listener Manuel
Méndez in España (who frequently reports it direct but with very poor
strength). 1528 despedida with Antarctica song; mentions Base
Marambio. I would really like to see the full lyrix of this song and
its name. Does anybody have them? But not off the air yet. 1532.5 on
to string of other songs; no further announcements, but 1555 Antártida
themesong again and off 1556* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11840, June 12 at 0228, S9+10 of almost OC, suptorted trace
of mod I suspect be RHC, then match it to 11670 Spanish as the 11840
level improves slightly, mentioning Filatelia show, now or promo? So
the 11850 transmitter has moved back to 11840 again; and now the
plus/minus 10 kHz parasites are JBA carriers on 11830 & 11850 instead
of 11840 & 11860. Is it now centred on 11840 for entire tarde span?
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6165 // 6000, June 12 at 0243, the two RHC English
frequencies are in French! I think; obviously a movie drama or TV
soundtrack. Only occasional mumbled dialog, hard to understand, mostly
fumbling and other sounds/effects, as the invisible video is mostly
carrying the story.
But what is this doing here?!? Same kind of thing caught once before,
on a 9 MHz band RHC frequency. Guess maybe they`ve plugged into wrong
satellite downlink, tho I`d think terrestrial STLs would be sufficient
near Habana. These are of course not // RHC real Spanish on 11670, nor
// 5040. There are long stretches with no dialogue; ``back-up beeps``
a couple times, traffic horns. 0258 bit of French dialogue, more SFX,
thru 0300 with no break; 0316 recheck still French dialogue.
6165 & 6000 not rechecked until 0543, when they are still far astray
from RHC English which is on 6060 // 6100. Now it`s drama in British
English, 0545 off-key singing, SFX, seems like soundtrack of horror
film. 6165 cuts off at 0553* while 6000 continues 0600+, but at 0605
check, 6000 is also gone.
All this certainly implies that the 6000 & 6165 pair are from one same
transmitter site, while 6060 & 6100 are from another, accounting for
totally different program feed inputs. BUT, Aoki & EiBi both show 6000
Quivicán, 6165 Bauta; 6060 & 6100 also both Bauta. So we may suspect
6165 now is also really Quivicán.
Something`s always wrong at RHC! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6100 // << 6000 much stronger, June 12 at 1256 but both VP
fading into daytime, RHC. EiBi and Aoki show 6000 Quivicán has another
hour to run but 6100 Bauta until 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13639 & 13761 approx., June 12 at 1414, RHC F# spurblobs at
S5-S7 and S5-S6 respectively, out of undermodulated 13700-AM at
S9/+10. Trace on second-order 13578 but not circa 13822. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [non]. 9490.05V, UT Sat June 12 at 0222, R. República
announcing `Alternativa`, a joint produxion with R. Martí; outro, I
guess. They have been coöperating for some time. Unchecked whether
live simulcast but doubt it. Then own sked given as 9-10 pm lunes a
miércoles, 9-11 pm jueves a domingo, i.e. 01-02 UT Tue-Thu; 01-03 UT
Fri-Mon. Not only off-frequency, this Issoudun, but wavering as I try
to measure it, like 9490.045 to 9490.056. Call it 9490.05V (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6960-AM, UT Sat June 12 at 0215, only pirate signal
is here with music, S9-S8 presumably Ball Smacker Radio`s regular
Friday night broadcast from 01 UT Sat (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UGANDA [non]. 15170, Sat June 12 at 1455, checking again for the
``non-clandestine`` political target broadcast, but still absent,
while the ``jamming`` is already running again, as heard via
UTwente.
Now I am not so sure it`s jamming or against Ugandan ex-show. For one
thing, it`s doubtful opponents in Uganda could come up with such
blockage on short notice. From the sound of it, could well be OTH
radar invading SWBC band. Now it is not centered on 15170, but peaking
closer to 15160 and audible all the way from 15140 to 15170. Victim
now is 15150, R. Tamazuj via Madagascar. Noise still running past
1539, 1607, but off by next check 1658.
Has IRRS moved the Ugandans somewhere else? I`m too occupied with
LRA36 et al. to bandscan for it, but HFCC still shows only 7290, 9510,
15170 and 15515 for ``Milano``; 15515 also at 1500-1530 Saturdays only
which we should have checked, in Oromo instead of ``English`` on
15170:
