WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

TURKEY Last night at 0300-0400 UTC I positively identified the severely
co-channel station on 6140 kHz as SPANISH speaking. I heard unidentified
mumbles on the same frequency, same hour, the night before. I note that
9460 at 0400 UTC demonstrates a FAST needle but zero audio. ( 3+ 1 1 n)

Dear George, Thank you very much for your monitoring reports. According to
them we analysed the situation on 6140 kHz between 0300-0400 UT. There is
Radio Cuba [sic] there and it affects our signal in North America. Since
they are not a member of any Coordination groups they do not coordinate.
We wrote to each other e-mails last season. So, the solution is changing
the frequency. We are moving to 5975 kHz on 23 April between 0300-0400 UT.
