** ARGENTINA. 15345-, August 2 at 2132, only a het vs MOROCCO [q.v.] on the hi side, and never overcame with
any audio. Finally uncovered at 2202:39 when IMM turns off its carrier, RAE announcing 6060 and 15345 in
Spanish, also http://www.radioexterior.com.ar I thought he said, but that goes nowhere, nor the link at
Media Network`s Hitlist, http://www.radionacional.com.ar/programacion/rae.html
O, I see in the WRTH it should be http://www.radionacional.gov.ar --- That does get to the domestic service
homepage, but just *try* to find any link to the external service, even by internal search!
Anyhow, with the end of DST for this year, prompted by the beginning of Ramadan, Morocco now runs one real
hour later on 15345, which means the northern-summer respite for RAE 21-22 UT German service listeners in
Europe is over. That was only a fluke, as the two stations stupidly stick to the same frequency, both refuse
to participate in HFCC or heed advice by would-be listeners that one or both should move a bit away to plenty
of clear frequencies in the vicinity.
A few years ago, Argentina decided to go on DST in its summer, Nov-Feb, and RAE, so remote from the real world
of international broadcasting, shifted all its languages one UT hour earlier just so they would stay at
the same local time, oblivious of its intended audience. This put German up to 20-21, still colliding with
Morocco even when that country was not on DST. English, Italian and French hours from RAE, earlier in the
day, remain always blocked by Morocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BAHRAIN [non]. 15540, August 2 until 2006, R. Kuwait very good with talk outroed as ``Song of the Sea``,
another ``Radio Bahrein produxion, presented by R. Kuwait``. Maybe they stick these in at different
times from day to day; August 1 was at 2019-2025 as in previous report under KUWAIT. There used to be a
programme exchange called Voice of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Maybe this is that. Back to
western pop music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** CANADA. Nice to get a third reply from MBC Radio = CJLR-FM-3 in Prince Albert, Sask., altho my
miles-per-watt calculation is now very incorrect: (gh)
