Glenn Hauser logs June 29-30, 2010
** CANADA. I had `hoped` the TVDX opening was over as I dispatched my last report, but it lingered, so
continuing, June 29:
1812 UT on 2, Calgary local noon news in UT-6 MDT zone; 1818 promo Global-Calgary, i.e. CICT.
1812 UR on 4, local news; 1815 mention Alberta Health Services, i.e. CFCN Calgary; recheck 1854, local
weather for different cities, M&W anchors; 1859 a bit from Aasif on The Daily Show as stinger. After that,
opening does disappear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. I was resting the afternoon of Tuesday June 29, so turned on RHC`s secret English broadcast of 20-21

could be made out among the summer QRN; much weaker than REE Costa Rica neighbor 3350. Several other
reports of HRMI in mid-June but I think not always on the air this late, or at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, June 30 at 1350, JBA carrier. It sure varies a lot day to day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Since the low-VHF band, channels 2-6, was full of TV DX from Mexico, FM too was likely, so switched
to that June 30 at 1551. (It is inconvenient for me logistically to do both at same time.) Started tuning up
the FM band, but no DX signals found until:
