** CUBA. 11670, Aug 3 at 0635, RHC Spanish extension, S9+10/20 with
sidespurs peaking about plus/minus 2.5 kHz but audible further out.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9655, Thu Aug 3 at 0629, BBC news relay finishing, RNZ
ID and into their own ``news at 6:30``. Surprise bigsig S9+10/20. Good
they are avoiding 9700 due to Cuba, Romania, Turkey. No signal on
11725 so moved? Or could be test as first Wed/Thu of month is
maintenance day. Earlier at 0604 John Hudak reported to ODXA:
``I heard Radio New Zealand on 6095 kHz this morning at 0540 UT (Aug.
3) with a fair signal. News items in English with a couple of definite
RNZ idents. They abruptly went off at 0543 in mid sentence but then
the carrier came back on a few times, and then nothing more. Could
this have been a program feed error to a wrong transmitter? Is 6095
even a frequency used by RNZ? I don't see it listed on their web page.
John Dundas, ON``
Neither 9655 nor 6095 on websked, so probably back to formers, but
could change at any time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2202)
