Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 8-9, 2010
Morning check in 49 mb on April 9th at 0400-0500 UT determined R La
Habana's English sce on fair 5970 and 6000 kHz signals, but Spanish sce on
much stronger 6060 and 6110 kHz. Off on 6140 and 6150 this morning -
at least nothing heard here in Germany.

TUNISIA Summer A-10 of RTTunisia in Arabic:
0500-0730 on 7275 SFA 500 kW / 340 deg to WeEu
[Sfax noted earlier S=9+20dB, at 0430 UT Apr 9, and fair Belarus on
neighbour adjacent 7280 too, wb.]

** CUBA [non]. Radio Martí is running four SW frequencies at a time now
instead of three, to which it was cut back last year. This may be temporary
because MW 1180 Marathon FL is off the air for upgrading(?).
April 8 at 2042 I noticed that 6030 was already on instead of previous
*2200, but at this early hour it was just barely audible, // 11930. The only
other also very weak 49m signals vs the noise level were RHC 6110 and CFRX
6070. Could not hear any jamming on 6030 but maybe too weak to tell.
April 9 at 1311, I hear RM on 9805 in conversation about marmalade, //
11845, and no jamming audible on 9805. At 1359 monitoring both frequencies,
the list to start ``en algunos instantes`` was ``9565, 11845, 11930,
13820``.
Yesterday we had already noted 9565 on the air after 1400, but today it took
more than a few instants to bring it up after 9805 cut off at 1400, not
until *1403.6, and no jamming audible there initially. Original A-10
schedule for 9805 was 10-13 only.
I figured it would be pointless to consult the RM website for its frequency
grid, which they had let languish for months without updating, but this one
is axually dated 6 April, as ``temporary`` showing 4 frequencies at once
between 10 and 04:
http://www.martinoticias.com/frecuencia.aspx
Here it is, converted to UT and to text: so this fit, XX = 1130
04-07 6030 7405
07-10 5980 6030
10-XX 5980 6030 6105 9805
XX-12 5980 6030 9805 11845
12-13 6030 7405 9805 11845
13-14 7405 9805 11845 13820
14-18 9565 11845 11930 13820
18-23 6030 9565 11930 13820
23-24 6030 9565 11775 11930
00-01 6030 7365 11775
01-03 6030 7365 9460 11775
03-04 6030 7365 7405 9460
Note there are two totally new frequencies, which I had not yet run across,
6105 and 9460. Tough luck, XEQM!
The color coding uses a slightly different shade of green for these blox,
indicated as temporary. Apparently during most of the day there was an extra
transmitter available at Greenville; not sure if this also indicates a
cutback in Creole or other services. We do know that the one used for DRM in
the daytime on 9445-9455 has been liberated:
6105 1000-1130
11845 1130-1300
9805 1300-1400
9565 1400-1700
11845 1700-1800
6030 1800-2200
13820 2200-2300
11775 2300-2400
9460 0100-0400
The gap at 00-01 is during ``A Fondo`` Tue-Sat, the joint show with VOA,
when one of the transmitters is ``VOA`` instead, but axually totaling five
frequencies with same program during that hour --- 5890, 6030, 7365, 11775,
11970, as monitored April 9 at 0045, and they were all jammed. The DCJC has
not been so quick to extend its jamming to the entire expanded temporary
schedule of RM.
As for what happen UT Sun & Mon, RM grid does not go into such details ---
and it still shows 1180 as on the air 24 hours. ALL, except for the UT
Monday 03-09 truce.
Here`s the program schedule grid which automatically shows the current
week`s dates, and with GMT confusingly in AM and PM:
