BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

usual 1430-1500 UT on 7350 (in the clear, but weak), // 6010 (poor with
usual jamming QRM from 6003) and // 9480.0 (poor with WTWW QRM on
9478.98); with the "Holy Tibet" program in English and playing Tibetan
songs. Clearly "Holy Tibet" was not on today from 1400-1430 UT.
(Ron Howard-CA-USA, dxld April 13)
CUBA [non] Radio Marti 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 UT I noticed that 6030 was already on instead of previous
*2200, but at this early hour it was just barely audible, // 11930 kHz.
The only other also very weak 49mb signals vs the noise level were RHC
6110 and CFRX 6070 kHz. 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 kHz. At 1359 monitoring both
frequencies, the list to start "en algunos instantes" was "9565, 11845,
11930, 13820" kHz.
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
UT, not until *1403.6, and no jamming audible there initially.
Original A-10 schedule for 9805 was 10-13 UT 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 UT:
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 kHz. 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 kHz has been liberated:
6105 1000-1130
