** U S A. 12050, Feb 6 at 1620, R. Católica Mundial, WEWN, reactivated
in Spanish with hymns, DJ announcements, S6/S8 direct. This was first
reported by Tony Pavick, Hope BC at 0040 UT Feb 6:
``Radio Católica Mundial is back on the air on 12050 kHz. In Spanish
of course. China ACI from 12045 & 12055. They appear to have left the
air sometime between 0045 and 0100 UT``
During my log it`s notable that neighbor WWCR 12160, at a similar
distance, is hugely stronger, inblasting S9+25/30. Nothing yet on
English frequency 15610, which I had heard with open carrier only, no
modulation. Spanish takes priority.
WEWN used to have some lower frequencies at night, but current HFCC
shows only:
12050 14-06 Spanish 155 degrees to CIRAF 11 & 15 with 100 kW;
15610 19-06 English 85 degrees to CIRAF 46 & 47 with 250 kW.
Strangely, CIRAF 11 & 15 mean Caribbean/Central America, and SE
Brasil, but skipping the rest of S America. 46 & 47 mean W Africa and
central as far as Sudan, Cameroun.
Likely the real spans in each language will be less than possible.
Collisions resume: 12050 at 18-19, R Ndarason International for Chad
from Woofferton, and same 19-20 from Ascension; 12050 also with RFA
Tibetan via Kuwait at 22-23, plus CNR1 jamming of course. 15610
confronts CNR1 jamming and SOH after 2200, until 1600.
Into Bonaire at 1812, only fair Spanish on 12050, maybe trace of RNI
underneath. At 1927, Bonaire busy but SB do Campo, Brasil gets only
RNI Ascension. WEWN is still on, atop RNI into Maryland. No signal on
15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)
** VANUATU. 5040, Feb 6 before 0700, no signal from R. Vanuatu as
supposedly scheduled now, into several Australian & NZ remotes
checked, nor on 3945, 7260, 9960. And of course no signals direct
either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2281)
