Glenn Hauser logs June 16-19, 2009

** CUBA [and non]. Another colossal tape mixup(?) at RHC: June 17 at 0533 tuning across 11760 I find RHC in Portuguese instead of English. Probably started at 0500. Portuguese was // 6010 and 6060, while correct English was on 6000 and 6140.

Another colossal waste of precious energy by RHC, June 19 at 1225, just open carrier on 9600, and still several minutes later. All the other frequencies on 6, 11 and 13 MHz were funxioning normally in Spanish. By 1248 recheck, 9600 was back in business. Rather, 12000 was buried under VOR in Chinese // 7300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17650 with W&M conversation in Chinese, June 19 at 1250, fair signal with fading. Not // CNR1 jammers on 11805, 11825, etc. What does PWBR `2009` say? CRI via Kashi in French! Definitely not French, but per Aoki it is Kashi, CRI in Chinese from 1200, 308 degrees toward Europe. Only Asian signal on band at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. RFI, 13640 via Guiana French, once again running past scheduled 1230*, June 19 at 1244 with music, break for ID. The strike must still be ongoing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. RTI confirmed with new 0500 English relay via WYFR: UT Wednesday June 17 at 0544 on 5950, Chinese classical music rudely interrupted for RTI ID in English, Jade Bells & Bamboo Pipes, with Carson Wong, then into another selexion. VG reception here of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
