[HCDX] Latin American MW logs JUL 28 JUL 29 UTC

[Mirela Chiochiu <acq@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Warm Greetings !

Extremely rough times for my philosophy of life and for my life with lots of persons misunderstanding Asperger syndrome and misunderstanding my bugs (my stubborn personality), but otherwise above average DX for this time of the year including two new Cubans on 820 kHz MEDIUMWAVE AM on the Sony CFS 6000 boombox AM Stereo with the PK MW loop standing by !

As far as MW sigs are concerned, the MW Latins get weaker after local midnight, and the E/W paths become even more relevant i.e. imposs. to cancel out WBBM down to the mud to enjoy the YV or HJ cumbia played on the 780 Venezuelan powerhouse.

Into the logs:

640 CUBA   CMBC and / or CMBD, Radio Progreso Guanabacoa and / or Las Tunas JUL 29 0435 - Woman mid-tempo vocal, apparently parallel CMKP-900. In mix with Toronto. (Chiochiu-QC) 

780 VENEZUELA   YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, estado Falcón JUL 29 0431 - Cumbia music under residual WBBM Chicago. Fair, but weaker than a few minutes ago. (Chiochiu-QC)

840 CUBA   CMCA   Radio Ciúdad de la Habana, La Havana JUL 29 0401 - Man talk with mention of La Havana in mix with CMHV and WHAS (Louisville-Kentucky). Poor-very poor in the mix. (Chiochiu-QC)

840 CUBA   CMHV   Cadena Doble V, Santa Clara JUL 29 0403 - Man and woman greetings their listeners and thanking them for staying up late, tuning to the program RITMOS DE LA NOCHE which they considered a program of up-beat Latin mx. After the jingle ended, they mentioned DOBLE V twice. Been aftwer this one for years ! The Australian PK loop definitively helped. (Chiochiu-QC)

900 CUBA   CMKP   Radio Progreso, Cacocúm JUL 29 0437 - Female mid-tempo vocal, quite the same as on 640 kHz two minutes ago - the same song.


Domestic DX notes:

On 1630 kHz, the strongest signal on the E/W bearing seamed to be a severe wheather announcement outlet, probably just a replacement for KCJJ due to outbursts of unbelieveble thunderstorm activity. KCJJ is my favorite AM STEREO entertainement, even more than WIRY-1340 which is a daytime semi-local of modest strength !
CJAD 800 isn`t carrying Coast to Coast AM anymore.
I should hurry up to clear up what`s on 690 and 940, because strong weather and traffic locals are coming up on those channels...
If there was someone running IBOC on 830 or 850, it appeared happily enough to be turned off the last night.

That`s it for now !
May the good DX be with you !
