GLEANINGS ----------------------- BRAZIL- The status of shortwave
and tropical bands in Brazil: There are currently 62 stations transmitting
on SW, with two more to be installed in the states of Sao Paulo and Minas
Gerais. Data is from the Ministry of Communications. On the tropical bands
there are 78 stations, also with two more to be installed, one in
Amazonas, and another in Rondonia. The state with the greatest number of SW is
Sao Paulo, 21 frequencies. SP also leads the tropical list with 15, while
Amazonas has only 9. I wonder which two are the SW stations to be
installed; in Sao Paulo, it may be R. 9 de Julho. Some states have SW vacancies
("vagas"). Ceara has two, which should be for the old Ceara
Radio Clube; Maranhao has one, which should be for the old Timbiras which
once used 19 meters. On tropical bands, the number is much greater: 542
channels; the state of Sao Paulo alone has 60 available (Celio Romais, RGS,
radioescutas newsgroup, Dec 22, translated by gh for WORLD OF RADIO
971) I assume the 542 figure includes possibility of piling up several
stations on each frequency, much like mediumwave (Hauser / GH SHORTWAVE/DX
REPORT 99-01, January 6)
CHILE- The plus/minus 27 kHz
spurs of Voz Cristiana we reported on Dec 21 have not been heard since,
upon occasional checks, especially around 21550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, Jan 6 /
SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-02, Jan 9)
CHINA- [non]. CRI relay
via Sackville at 0500 on 9560 certainly still exists despite omission by BBCM -
loud and clear on UT Jan 7 check. No jamming. Of course not--only the
Chinese jam American broadcasts to them (Glenn Hauser, RIB/ SHORTWAVE/DX
REPORT 99-02, Jan 9)
COSTA RICA. Thanks to RFPI
Members' contributions, operation should be more reliable now: has backup
blowers for cooling units on 10 and 30 kW transmitters; and some backup tubes,
so if there are failures can be quickly replaced. Also can change
frequency quickly to avoid interference if really necessary rather than
wait 5-6 weeks for crystals to be ground in US and shipped. Another on-air
fundraiser is coming up soon. (James and Debra Latham, RFPI Mailbag Jan 1
via gh) RFPI is about to put its audio on internet, says Weekly Update;
listen for announcements. We have also noticed 15049 showing up sporadically in
the 1800-2100 period again, and on Dec 31, 6975 was already on and audible
here at 2131 check; on Jan 5, 15049 was testing in the morning. Spanish
programming is supposed to be back in the 1200-1600 period (Glenn Hauser, OK /
GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-01, January 6)
COSTA RICA- On Tue Jan 12 at
1901, James Latham announced a different frequency schedule for RFPI --
perhaps temporary for operational reasons due to current board of advisors
meeting ? 6975 0000-0800 (no mention of -1200 on weekends, but maybe)
15050 1800-2330 (ex 2100-0300) 21460-USB 1400-0300 (ex 1200-0300)
Continent of Media has a new time, Tue at 2000 only and did appear Jan 13 at
2003, but it was still the old Dec-Jan edition. Jan-Feb should start Jan
15. The RFPI morning block in Spanish seems to have come back only on Mon
Jan 4; since then, if heard at all, RFPI has been back with further repeats of
English before 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK / GH SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-03,
January 14)
CUBA- [non]. Part of Pres.
Clinton's initiative to improve relations with Cubans is "expanding R.
Marti broadcasts"! It's hard to see how this would help, and how Cuba
could be any more saturated with RM than it already is (Glenn Hauser/ GH
SHORTWAVE/DX REPORT 99-01, January 6)
