CANADA [and non]. 6070-, Oct 24 at 2246, ``News-Talk 10-10`` ID from CFRX,
good signal and in the clear, some 24 hours after first heard reactivated,
and some 10 hours since I found it missing again in the morning; maybe
erratic.
By next check 0033 UT Oct 25, heavy QRM with CUBA which was already using
6070+ all-evening, before CFRX last crashed. At this time here, the pair are
about equal levels, making them equally useless, with a SAH of about 8 Hz as
Wolfgang Büschel observed yesterday: CFRX is 4 Hz lo and RHC is 4 Hz hi.
This is rather remarkable, considering that RHC is allegedly aiming 250 kW
plus many dB of hi gain right at us, while CFRX is but 1 kW non-direxional.
By 0126, CFRX has lost out to RHC dominance.
So much for friendlier relations between Cuba and Canada. 6070 has been
CFRX`s frequency forever (it was old already when I got my first QSL in
1957y), and Canadian SW stations do not have any frequency flexibility. RHC
has lots of choices on the 49m band; for instance, there`s nothing much
(except maybe Brasil) on 6080, if RHC really needs another frequency so
close to 6060. O yeah, some lite intermittent pulse jamming against nothing,
so Cuba already knows 6080! In B-14, IBB/VOA usage of 6080 ends at 2200,
resumes at 0300 from eastern hemisphere sites, so the 03-04 hour could be a
problem with VOA English via Vatican to Africa. Keep looking?
With B-14 seasonal adjustments coming up shortly, now would be an excellent
time for Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich, frequency manager of RHC, to put this
right and move off 6070 --- but don`t count on it, even tho it would also be
to RHC`s own advantage to avoid this interference.

GREECE. 9935, Oct 25 at 0041, ERTOpen, good with Greek music, and no breakup
tonite on this transmitter ---- and // is back on 9420 at 0042 check, none
heard in the 11s or 15s. The 9420 transmitter had been on 9415 instead the
past three nights; why?
