http://wrir.org/x/modules/news/article.php?storyid=7740

*As Hurricane Hanna approached Bahamas, ZNS 1540 again heard in North
America; normally has deep null toward continent centered on Waterloo
*Unidentified on 6185 at 1002, Radio Libertad, or Comunidad or Verdad,
unseems R. Educación, México as usual; apparently the latter no
longer running all-night, ends at 0600?
*John Callarman has compiled an updated multi-sourced listing of
Mexican MW stations, free to all, e.g. via
http://www.nrcdxas.org/articles/index1.html
*WORLD OF RADIO confirmed at new times on WRMI 9955, Sat 2000, Sun
2030
*Why not ``Ask Arnie`` why Cuba finds it necessary to jam a competing
English-language DX program?
*All RHC frequencies and R. Rebelde 5025 were missing for at least an
hour the morning of Sept 1, after Gustav crossed western Cuba; but
jamming against WRMI and R. Martí, plus relays of China and Venezuela
continued, confirming our assertion that jamming has priority over
RHC for the power available
*New R. Rebelde relay on 1550 in Nuevitas, Camagüey, but also a Cuban
swisher-jammer against Florida on same frequency
*R. Amanecer, 1560, Dominican Republic, moved to 1580 to accommodate
R. Universidad ASD on 1560, which also plans SW 3 kW on 4720

Faique, Perú, reactivated on 5602.4, heard in Colombia at 2210-2240
*Bolivian heard again on 4498.2, from Guayaramerín until 2301,
presumably R. Estambul as before
*RAE, Argentina, off the air while awaiting replacement tubes, but
still webcasting
*Yet station believed to be RAE heard in Venezuela, Brasil on new
5940, 5945 during the 2300 UT hour

P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA or woradio at yahoo.com

stations which carry our program. If you want a card especially for

*Algeria`s longwave 252 jumped to 250 kHz, putting heterodyne on
Ireland 252 [but only for a couple of nights]

17655 and 21555, sites not stated but probably France
*Ethiopian Review article about it gives local time as 2:00-2:30, but
since they start counting from sundown instead of noon, we would call
it 8 pm, = 1700 UT in the UT+3 zone

due to DST of UT +3, but now running past 0200. DST ended early just
