[HCDX] RAE goes and comes

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** ARGENTINA [non]. 15345, Arabic music ending abruptly at 2159:50 April 6, open carrier for a few sex and off, an undignified and rude conclusion to this transmission from MOROCCO. Before it went off, no sign of a het from Argentina, and afterwards no trace of a carrier from it in the vicinity, so I wonder if RAE is off again? Has anyone heard them on 11711v lately either, such as English to NAm at 0200-0300 Tue-Sat? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hi Glenn, Rayén Braun from the German program of RAE Buenos Aires said in her shows that 15345 is off the air since at least about a week now. Best regards, (Christian Milling, April 7, HCDX via DXLD)

Yes, some days ago, the German service editor from RAE reported about the transmitter fault. 73 wolfy (Wolfgang Büschel, April 7, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Additional Info: RAE Buenos Aires should be back on air since today according to Rayen Braun (Milling, 2139 UT, ibid.)

So I was standing by on 15345 at 2157 April 7: Morocco inbooming with music and Arabic announcement, could detect no het or anything else, but during few sex of open carrier before 2200* could indeed hear a few notes of the RAE IS! And then a very weak and fluttery signal in the clear; seems to be very close to 15345.0, so no wonder it was not hetting Morocco for a change. Music for a few minutes, then talk, but too weak to copy. Should be starting Spanish after the German hour. And should also be back on 11711v for the evening broadcasts to NAm, which however are often inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
