COSTA RICA 5954.15, ELCOR transmitter testing?, at 2310-0005+ UT on May 8-9, tentative with non-stop English and Spanish pop ballads by Shakira and others. Brief Spanish announcement at 2341 UT. Good level but poor to fair overall signal quality due to adjacent channel splatter. Very difficult after 0000 UT due to adjacent channel splatter. (Brian Alexander-PA-USA, DXplorer May 9) 5954.2 the continuous music tests are back on this odd frequency, May 8 at 2332 hetting WYFR 5950 at less than 5 kHz, and splashed from it. Sidetuning up a bit helps. Romantic music in Spanish, 2341 an announcement in Spanish, only caught one word, 'titulado'. Signal is improving, as WYFR gets a bit weaker. 2347 pause of almost half a minute between trax, and no further announcements heard. The song ending at 2351 had applause and cheers. Kept going past 0000 May 9, but from just before then, adjacent channel interference gets much worse with CRI starting on 5960 in Chinese via Sackville. 0026 check, still going with the music. 5960 is splashing more than 5950 even tho it is 2 kHz further away from 5954. Another check at 0057 still, and heavy ACI. And 0102; and last check at 0112 still there. I also heard this May 2 at 0046, but only as a carrier. Based on previous activity 26 months ago, it's ELCOR, the transmitter manufacturer, which used the same frequency and the same type of programming, presumably to test their products. This was discussed extensively with logs by many others in: & In March 2008, Raul Saavedra in Costa Rica remarked, "Shakira, as well as Mexican group Mana, are everyday recipes in those test transmissions." Brian Alexander in PA was monitoring at exactly the same time May 8-9, 2010, also noted the announcement at 2341, music by Shakira and others, and pinpointed it at 5954.15. And Earl Higgins in MO had this as an unID 24 hours earlier: 0044-0056 UT May 8, with "one Shakira song after another". I'll take their word for it as I wouldn't know Shakira. This of course is now the only active SW station in CR, unless some of the R. Republica broadcasts are coming from there. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld May 8) CROATIA Again retimed. Voice of Croatia (Glas Hrvatske) on 1134 kHz via Zadar, 600 kW now airs on a new time segment: 1600-2245 UT. (Dragan Lekic-SRB, dxld May 8) CUBA 15120 RHC Quivican in Spanish on 15120 and weaker 15380 kHz in 19 mb. Poor S=4-5 signals at 1115 UT, May 8th. Report and speech on Cuban-USSR/Russia relations of the Russian ambassador. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 8) file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX963.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:04]
