Glenn Hauser logs June 11-12, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake June 12:
13130, fair at 1322; none lower; fair at 1352
13500, good at 1321; fair at 1352
15970, fair at 1322
16100, good at 1324; none higher
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6010, June 12 at 0711, Esperanto from RHC in progress, VG signal, and no others on the air in any language this late on 49m. As scheduled, but I had not reconfirmed lately, 0700-0730 Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. 17725, June 12 at 1356 noticed V of Africa already in English a few minutes early, usual announcer mentioning hypothetical ``United States of Africa`` and ever more so now; poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 2, June 12 at 1438 UT with antenna south, net-5 fades in with toons, then in and out for next bihour, mixing with other signals, some up to ch 4. Meanwhile I see the 6m Es maps show the entire US crisscrossed with sporadic-E contacts but hardly anything from Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955 and webcasts, has posted a new program schedule as of June 10, replacing the multiple airings of defunct `DX Partyline`, several with `Viva Miami`, also a quarter-hour, some rearranged for `Wavescan`; and WORLD OF RADIO winds up with two new airings, Saturdays at 1500, and Mondays at 1530. Harry Brooks in NE England has confirmed the new Saturday time. Note there are two more times on WRMI than the grid shows, as they are within WRN relay blox: Sat & Sun 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 17780, June 12 at 1358, poor signal with B-B-C- chimes, prior to 1400-1430 BBCWS Hausa via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, WBCQ back on air after missing several days, at least at the times I had checked: June 12 at 0711, 1315, both with praise music, presumably still GFRN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Excuses, excuses, for no ``Aló, Presidente``. This week El Hugazo is recovering from surgery in Cuba; but when he did do a show last week on TV, RHC failed to SW relay it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
