ARGENTINA - I want to share this story referred to our Broadcast Abroad Argentina. From next November 1, 2012, 

is the following revisions in the transmission scheme of RAE Buenos Aires: Between 10 and 15 UTC, programs in 

Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish will be broadcast on the frequencies of 6060 kHz (49mb) and 15345 kHz (19mb). 

This implies that the emission in Spanish added in its emission frequency of 6060 kHz, while the transmissions in 

Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish will change the frequency of 11710 kHz currently transmitted by that of 15345 kHz.

CANADA - Listened to the last 15 minutes of CBC Sackville on 9625 starting at 0450 November 1. Reception actually 

quite good, much better than normal for this service into Texas. Last part of "As It Happens Midnight Edition," then usual 

English ID and address announcement at 0459:30, CBC News at 0500, then usual closing announcement in French, 

followed by "O Canada." Tone came up afterwards, carrier off at 0509:15. 

And just like that, 68 years of transmissions from this facility come to an end. I first heard it in the mid-1960's, when all 

it had were the old 50 kW RCA units, and just one program feed. It was a pretty big deal when the five 250 kW Collins 

units were added in the early 1970's. The RCA units were replaced by 100 kW Harris transmitters in the mid 1980's, 

and the Collins were replaced by ABB units during the 90's, IIRC. 

Goodbye Sackville, and thank you. As with RNW, good memories, although the final few years of RCI left much to be 

desired. Anyone need some used shortwave transmitters Between Sackville and Bonaire, there are a dozen up for 

grabs. :-) (Steve Luce, Houston, Texas) 

CHAD - 6164.96, RNT, 0446-0503*, *0513-0550+, Oct 25, tune-in to French talk African choral music. African hi-life

at 0503 mid-song and turned off transmitter at 0505. Back on the air at 0513 with hi-life music. French talk. Promos.

6164.96, RNT, 2120-2200*, Oct 25, continuous French talk. Afro-pop music and Euro-pop music after 2136. Very poor

6164.96, RNT, 2010-2129*, Oct 26, French talk. Afro-pop music. African hi-life music. Abrupt sign off. Very weak at 2010

I tuned into Radio Havana Cuba on 5040 kHz this morning (7 Nov) at 0625 UT and was surprised to find their English 

hour in progress. A few minutes later, during the mid-week 'DXers Unlimited' programme, Arnie Coro confirmed that from 

November 7th there was an extra hour of English on 5040 from 0600 to 0700 UT. Arnie also confirmed that RHC had 

dropped 6050 kHz and was now using 6165 instead via the same 100 kW transmitter and 340 degree antenna. He 

requested reports on the new frequency to inforhc 'at' enet.cu . So their new English schedule is (times UT): 

11760 kHz 2000-2100 

5040 kHz 0000-0100 

6000 kHz 0100-0500 

6165 kHz 0100-0700 

6010 kHz 0500-0700 

6060 kHz 0500-0700 

6125 kHz 0500-0700 

5040 kHz 0600-0700 

(the same hour in English is repeated during these times) 

Strongest frequency here for the 0600-0700 hour was 6060 kHz, though 5040, 6125 and 6165 were also fairly clear 

frequencies at this time just on my Sony portable.

GUINEA - Radio Familia (ex-4900 kHz & FM) ceased operations in February 2011 after a dispute between manager 

and director. The 1 kW transmitter still is inside the country, but will not be reactivated there. There are plans for shipping 

it to a neighbouring country, but nothing definite yet. This according to direct communications with the former management 

of Radio Familia.

MEXICO - 6185, Radio Educación, 0455-0605*, Nov 4, local pop music. Ranchero style music. Spanish talk. IDs. 

National Anthem at 0600. Sign off at 0605 with local guitar music. 

(Brian Alexander, PA, DXLD) 

SOMALILAND - 7120, Nov 8 at 1325, R. Hargeisa is making it this early now, very poor signal but equal to Myanmar 

7110. Talk by YL sounds like English intonation, which has been reported in this segment, and I make out a few words 

such as “people”. 1329 brief music with heavy beat, back to more talk by another announcer, OM, maybe still English. 

It’s less than a semihour after sunrise here, but sunset in Hargeisa is not until 1439 UT, per gaisma.com, contrary to 

an hour earlier as thought by Dave Valko, PA, who has also been hearing it at this time. One hour is close enough for 

grayline on this band, where signals penetrate considerably into the dayside, and could it even be short-path now instead 

of longpath (gh, WOR 1642, DXLD) 

SOUTH AFRICA - AFS Sentec - see comment under U.K. - BBC cuts. B-12 schedule. 

Count 119 tx hours daily {I don't know alternates though}, but minus 19 hrs, not on Sa/Su.
