CANADA 6160 CKZU Vancouver 1420-1431 Jan 11. Weather; interview with
the director of the local Salvation Army about homeless shelters, etc.;
traffic report, PST time check; then another short interview with a
running coach. ID as "CBC Radio One". Good signal but QRM from an equally
good co-channel CH-lang station. Was // to 690 MW, which was fair here.

5910.05 Marfil Estereo 0037-0300+ Jan 17. Latin mx w/male ancr after each
song w/ID's and UTC-5 TC's; into seeming religious program at 0100, then
back to mx at 0132. Fair signal, competing with band noise and spotty Ute
QRM. Heard ID's as both "Marfil" and "Marfil Estereo". Had drifted up to
5910.07 by 0300.

CUBA Dear amigos: Starting next Monday January 22 at 1100 UTC Radio
Habana Cuba will be using 15190 kHz to Eastern South America (the "Buenos
Aires beam") replacing 15230 kHz. This is the morning local time in Havana
Spanish language broadcast that starts at 1100 and lasts until 1500 UTC.
(mail of Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich-CUB, CO2KK, hcdx Jan 16)
That's because for the past several B-seasons, 15230 has been colliding
with China-via-Canada at 1300-1500. About time somebody noticed and
resolved the situation.

6000 RHC in English, at 0640 UT on Jan 12 is using one of the failing
transmitters with its mushy, squealy, sound extending too far above and
below the carrier frequency. Who needs this when we have loud and almost
clear // 6180?
(Glenn Hauser-O-USA, dxld Jan 12)
15375 R. Rebelde at 1715 UT on Jan 12. Good. // 11655. Conversation
surprisingly criticising Cuba's mail service and mail thefts. This
frequency is not listed on their website.
(Victor C. Jaar-QC-CAN, NASWA Flashsheet via dxld)
Checked at 1723 UT Jan 16, this was on 15370, not 15375, VG signal //
recently reported other new frequency, 17555, which was mixing heavily,
almost zero-beat with WYFR, but Cuba atop. Why does Cuba come up on WYFR
frequencies? Maybe retaliation for WYFR using 6000. Anyhow, Cuba has SW
transmitters to spare in the RHC 1500-2000 break.
