(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews March 8 / 9 ) BRAZIL. 9630v & 11856v, Sat March 7 at 2220, no signals at all from
R. Aparecida just when we wanted to hear their DX program. Propagation
OK with 11780 S9+10 RNA in SBG; some weak distorted talk on 11815,
probably RBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR, March 7)
and some DST time changes from March 8th, see above, wb.
CUBA. 13635 & 13766 approx., Sunday March 8 at 1427, RHC spurblobs
out of 13700-AM transmitter, ending music show presumably 'Sonido
Cubano` now one UT hour earlier, and plugging 22 de marzo as "Dia
mundial del agua -- fuente de vida"; 1430 Música del Cine. 13740 is
off but 15230 and distorted 15140 are still on. At 1508, 13700 is
still on with dead air, making the spurs less obvious; and weekly
Esperanto confirmed on 11760 and distorted 15140 --- now one UT hour
earlier for DST season in step with Yankee Imperialists.
Something's always wrong at RHC. Despite being an international SW station, RHC allows local DST to
bump most but not all of its transmissions and programming around.
Something's always wrong at RHC. Based on what happened in the A-19 season, we expect first English to
be at 19-20 instead of 20-21, still on 15140? Next at 23-24 instead of
22-23 on 11880 --- yes, one real hour *later* rather than earlier in
this case. While the 5040 English at 00-01 should earlyize to 23-24,
i.e. same time as the 11880 --- but will that frequency maintain now
and/or into real A-20? Sometimes it's been on 9720. Evening to NAm,
will English start at 00 reliably instead of 01? Will end at 07 rather
than 08 on constantly shifting batch of frequencies? TBD. 15140, March 8 at 1713, RHC still on here at S9+10 but suptorted while
// 11760 modulation is OK during music.
Something's always wrong at RHC. 15140, March 8 at 1830, RHC starting Kriyol, moved an hour earlier
from the winter timing of 1930, so expect English too at 1900. But
this frequency is very suptorted. Something's always wrong at RHC. Yes, English now confirmed March 8 from 1900 on 15140, but who would
want to put up with its crummy modulation? Something`s always wrong at
RHC. 11880 has reliably provided the best signal and modulation back
here even tho it's supposedly for Africa, now at 23 instead of 22? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR, March 8)
