Re: [HCDX] Republica mystery on 5954.1

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

UNIDENTIFIED. CUBA [sic], 5954.13, R. República. Piano IS once at 2259 16 Oct,
then canned M with apparent ID mentioning Libertad. After another canned
announcement, went into talk by live M in Spanish. Came back at 2355 and caught
program ID/intro "R. República dos de ?? electrorio [sic] democrático cubano ??
presentó 'El Ser Notiva" or some such. Strong but heavy slop QRM from 5950 CRI
(Dave Valko, Dunlo PA, HCDX via DXLD)

This must be the same unID previously reported in DXLD 7-123: `` 5954.10, 2300,
Oct 10, Shakira song emerged as soon as co/channel BBC & CNR-8 had left. Lots
of other (Colombian?) rock cantantes but no announcements whatsoever to 2348
tune-out. Peaks at S8, het with adjacent Pio XII 5952.45. First heard this on
Oct 09. Anyone any idea, please? (Martien Groot, Schoorl, Netherlands, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)``

Either R. República has gone on some new unknown transmitter, and being
off-frequency that points to somewhere in Latin America; or, it`s a spur from
Rampisham(?) on 6135. Check to see if the audio match, and does it go off at
2359?? What CRI on 5950? Language, site? None listed. CBS Taiwan via WYFR is
supposed to start on 5950 at 0000 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Well Glenn, I have no idea where the 5954.13 R. República transmission is
originating from. I see that they've apparently been broadcast from several
different transmitter locations. I really haven't followed R. República much
(Dave Valko, PA, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

CLANDESTINE TO CUBA, 5954.13, R. República --- Made a couple mistakes in my
recent log of this pointed out by Arnie Coro and Glenn Hauser. R. República is
intended FOR Cuba, not from Cuba. And it`s R. Taiwan International on 5950 via
WYFR, not CRI. Sorry for the confusion (Dave Valko, PA, 18 Oct., HCDX via DXLD)

Checked at 2215 Oct 18, 5950 had Chinese // 15440, so WYFR relay at that hour,
and continuing on both after WYFR ID at 2300. In EiBi at 22-24 in Mandarin, but
missing from this time period in Aoki. 5950 is 355 degrees to ENAm so a big
signal for most of us to try to avoid.

Very weak signal here on 5954.1, but it is not // R. República, Rampisham on
6135. At least there is no jamming (yet) on 5954, but it`s quite a mystery
where this may be coming from. Others please monitor, DF it, listen for other
clues; and how late does it stay on? No reports past 0000 UT yet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
