5066.4 R Tele Candip, La Voix du People, Bunia, 0409-0414 on Jan 16,
Vernacular news or talk, local music, 24332
(Arnaldo Slaen-ARG, dswci DXW Jan 25)
Also heard 1607-1626*, Jan 12, ID at 1625: "...la Radio Television ...?
(maybe the following word was Bunia) ... CANDIP dans la bande de 60 metres
et dans la band de 90". So did they also reactivate their 90 metre band
frequency, or only used an old ID ???

So far I have not seen any reports on former 3390 kHz.

CUBA The clock is ticking on RHC's 15230, which has been colliding with
China-via-Canada for several winters now (tho RHC was using 15230 for
sesquidecades before). Still there Jan 19 at 1429 check, and Jan 21 at
1450, but supposed to switch to 15190 from Jan 22.
RHC had been closing 6000 earlier than 1400 for a while, but Jan 20 it was
still on at 1455 as sign-off announcement played. I did not copy the
frequencies mentioned, which never correspond exactly to reality anyway,
but tuned around the // ones. Aha: 11805 was missing, so that was
apparently the transmitter which stayed on 6000 instead. However, next
day, Jan 21 around 1450, 11805 was back and not 6000.

After years of colliding with China via Canada on 15230, Habana has moved
to 15190 at 1100-1500, no longer "Commies vs. Commies".
Spare Cuban transmitters at 1500-2000 UT being used by R. Rebelde, at
1700-1900 heard on 15370, 17555 kHz [and others].

5700/6300 Radio Habana; *0459...0524+ UT on Jan 13; Cuban anthem & "This
is Radio Habana's English language broadcast..."; SIO=2+42; spur?, some
distortion. // 6000, S10; // 6300, SIO=333, ute bursts; // 6420, SIO=222
with woodpecker QRM. More funny business from Raul?

6300 is produced by 6060 leapfrogging over 6180, 120 kHz further. 6420
would be a second leap a further 120 kHz up the band, but that isn't the
way mixing products usually work. It appears that 5700 would result from
6300, itself a mixing product, leapfrogging over 6000, 300 kHz further
down, to land on 5700.

RHC on new 15190, Jan 22 at 1445, ex-15230 which is now clear for CRI via
Canada, after many months of collision, in the B-seasons. However, 15370
was missing; no loss here, as it has been so extremely strong that it
desensitizes the receiver for a good many myriahertz to either side.
15190, aimed to SSAm is nowhere near as strong.

DENMARK Stig Hartvig Nielsen writes: On 14 February 2007 at 2330 UTC the
300 kW transmitter in Kalundborg operating on 243 kHz will be switched off
for the last time. And starting 15 February there will be a strong
reduction of airtime on the 250 kW transmitter in Kalundborg operating on
1062 kHz.
This is the new schedule in UTC: 0445-0507, 0730-0807, 1045-1130, 1645-
1716, 2145-2205. I believe that the transmitter will be switched on some 5
minutes prior to these s/on times and may also stay on the air a couple of
