Excellent season for Radio Habana Cuba transmission reception here in Europe

11770 powerhouse S=9+20dB great, RHC news on Honduras coup in Sp at 2135 UT,
\\ 11800 S=7-9 very deep fades. 13760 S=5-6, 13790 S=9+15dB.
11760 RHC French news at 2138 UT, S=9+10dB signal.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 25)
15345.17 kHz RAE Buenos Aires at 2140 UT, only program fragments traced
under threshold.
Also two DRM transmissions on 15469-15475-15481 Greenville, and

** CUBA. RHC finally heard with half an English broadcast during the
previously scheduled 2030-2130 UT hour! JBA carrier on 17660, else? But Sept
25 at 2053 found sufficient open carrier on 11760, 2059 opening English,
2132 opening French. Arabic was also back, on 11770 at 2053. Spanish on
11800 distorted, 13760 buried under Portugal 13755 with loud silly ballgame
and after 2100 RHC Spanish also on 11770.
Let`s look at RHC`s website schedule:
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
By golly, it has been modified since our last perusal, but it has taken then
about two sesquimonths since major changes were really made --- and it`s
still wrong. It does not show any Arabic at all, nor any French at 2030!
However, the Spanish schedule does now account for the greatly extended
hours we have been monitoring it since Junend, filling the gaps 15-21 and
07-11 UT.
As a service to DX listeners, certainly not to the incompetent RHC itself, I
herewith extract the Spanish schedule and rearrange it into nonconfusing
strict time order. This part looks fairly accurate compared to monitoring
but we cannot vouch for it 100%:
11-13 6180 NY
11-13 9600 Chi
11-15 15120 BA
11-15 15360 SAm
11-22 11760 NCSAm
11-24 11800 CAm
11-05 5965 NY
11-05 13760 BA
13-15 13680 Chi
13-15 13780 SF
21-23 11770 Eu
21-23 13790 RJ
22-24 6000 9640 Mesa Redonda M-F, special days; times and days vary
23-05 9600 SAm
23-05 11690 SAm
2330-11 6120 CAm
00-05 6060 NCSAm
00-05 6140 Chi
00-11 11760 NCSAm
02-05 13790 RJ
05-22 6000 NCSAm
07-10 6060 NCSAm
07-11 6140 Chi
The ONLY English broadcasts shown are [but see log above]:
23-24 13790 RJ
01-05 6000 NAm
05-07 6140 NAm
05-07 6060 NAm
05-07 6010 SF
NOTE that nothing is mentioned about any African targets, yet, as recently
speculated for the 07+ period when English has really been heard on some of
the 6 MHz channels.
Esperanto which used to have a semi-dozen weekly airings is only, Sun:
00-0030 13790 RJ [does this really mean UT Sun now, or UT Mon?]
15-1530 11760 NCSAm
Beware of inaccuracies in the other languages which I won`t go into here

** GUIANA FRENCH. DRM noise 17870-17880, Sept 25 at 2037 and still at 2121,
surely TDF site which has used this range many times before but not
currently on the DRM DX schedule at http://www.drm-dx.de/
Montsinéry had registered +17875+ previously at 1300-2000 only, 320 degrees
USward. It was last reported in the DRM DX fora last May for a week when it
was on for some event in Brasil at 17-21. So what bits of programming are
they running now, and why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
