ST A TIC FROM HQ Tests for March are looking good. WKSK tells us they'll go with a night­time operation this summer or fall. They'll be directional to the NW. Next on the agenda is a note from Dave Schmidt reminding that WCHE-1520 has a f/c each 4th Tues. at 0030 ELT. Dave, by the way, has agreed to become editor of the DDXD column, replacing Ray Arruda. Dave's first deadline will be Monday, MARCH J. Because of the publishing time-lag, his column will appear for the first time on March 17. DX News has been "done in" again by the Postal folks. Chuck's column is "winging" its way to us. It has been for 4 days. So it will follow the material on hand 1 look at the last pages. On the local scene, LAD/LPC member David Peters is recuperating from surgery and we hope you'll join us in wishing him well.

The March 17 issue has been designated as an IRISH MUSINGS issue. If you're Irish, like Irish whiskey or have a birthday on St. Pat's day like Pat Hartlage, you are encouraged t o Muse. Deadline for th~ green issue is next Monday, March 3, so get those cards and letters in the mail to ERC now.

REX)UESI'S FOR CHA!iGES IN CALL SIGN :

Note : In respcnse to two canments by reOC!ers, I'm 11 sting these by city and state thi s menth rather than by frequency. They point rut that, since these aren't in effect and, of course, may not be, they prefer to scan the list to see what might happen. Rarely, I gues s, does such an inpending change mean that an effort must be mOC!e to keep trying for the al.d call.

Huntsville , Ail.abana - WVOV wants wrAK San Francisco , CA - KYA wants KDEZ (it ' s a pity I think) Hal.lywocrl, FL - w::;MA wants WADY Dearborn, Mich. - WWKR wants WNIC Jacksen, Mich. - WIBM wants WJICM (Hmn, we'll watch where those l etters go) Minneapal.is , MN - WRRD wants KSJN (Ah yes, it's fun to live en the Mississii::pi) Meridian, Miss . - WI'llK wants WFEZ (anything to assure continued oil inports) Myrtle Creek, OR - New statien there wants KROR Prcwidence, RI - WJAR wants WHJR (but that' s cnly the tip c£ the iceberg there) Aiken, S: - Wiffi wants WKTX Knrnville, TN - WBIR wants WHEL Knrnville , TN - WKVQ wants WITA Vancruver, WA - ·new station there wants KKSN

Other asides and cannents:

WE GET

I didn ' t mean to srund mysterirus in my cannent abcwe abrut w.JAR. Yru are iioiare perhaps of all the changes in Prcwidence caning up - statiens virtually trOC!ing a .m. and f .m. facilities, call signs, etc . It reflects the centinued grewth c£ f.m. li stening at the expense , in most areas, of a .m. listenership. In any event, AM SWITCH will endeavor to keep you posted as official actims are taken.

I note that the application for a new station i.n Pineville, LA reported here sane time a;i o has been dismissed by the FCC - - apparently things wren:] with it, and it may not be re- submitted as it was. We 'll watch for develq:m=nts.

KMJJ ' s Transmitter Engineer; Walter J. Slack, was kind enough to write to l:iS-seeking the address of a DXer whose address was mutilated on the envelope of the DXer's report and which was not listed on the letter. We figured out who it was and our NRC member will get his verie soon. Moral: Put the address inside on your report.

RADIO WEST recently wrote asking that NRC furnish a promotional sheet. They will include information on NRC and other clubs with orders they send out. We're g l ad to take advantage of this offer and say "thanks" for the opportun­ity.

NO EMPLOYMENT? We are not an employment service but are glad to pass on information from member Bill Smith of Waterloo. Bill's company has several job openings in various eastern Iowa communities with populations from 40 ,000 to lJ0,000 for experienced cable television personnel. There are full-time jobs for personnel from installers, service technicians, line technicians, to engineers up to 1st class license to operate microwave links. They are an equal opportunity employer. Send complete resume in confidence to Bill Smith, Iowa Regional Manager, McDonald Group, Inc.; P.O. Box 11J8, Waterloo, IA 50704 ; or telephone (J19) 2J2-88oo.

DX NEWS COPY comments regarding the· experimental issue have been received from several members. We hope the overall readability will improve. Much of the recent problem resulted from carelessness by the printer's crew. We have talked to them about smudging pages, particularly Musings. ERC's use of "Big Mary" should also help. We and the editors are still working on this. Any comments you wish to make should be made outside of Musings and can be directed to the editors or LPC.

LOUISVILLE AREA DX'ERS will be contacted soon regarding a LAD GTG, probably in April. You'll be able to learn why we're changing the pub committee's name to LPZ. More to come •••...

THE R.F.S. CUBAN STATION

Copyright o Ronald F. Schatz 1980 Eighteenth P. nnual Edi ti on § Compiled January 1980

LIST

This list of Cuban medium-wave broadcast stations has been com­piled through personal monitori ng activities from Cuba and Florida as well as from information supplied by the Instituto Cubano de Radio y Televisiol". (ICRT) . During the early weeks of January 1980 a major up­heaval among Cuban medium-wave stations took effect, resulting in a large number of frequel".cy changes and, primarily, a reorganisation of provir.cial stations and networks in accordance with the new constitu­tional political-administrative divisions, Due to this situation, we must institute certain changes to our regular format: 1) Callsi.gns f!-re omitted except for those that are currently used on the air. 2) Pow:er data , being currently unreliable, is omitted in favour of assigning stations NARBA-like classifications (I, II, III, IV) based on observed ERP, thus Class-I _stations are the strongest, etc. § Station and net­work names are given in casual-reference form within the list, while more complete names and slogans are appended to the subsequent notes. § Station locations have been checked against the Atlas de Cuba (1978 ICGC); many entries represent a ~hange in name only~ ·without ari "ac- ' tual physical change of locati.on. Most location entries are given with unofficial 2-letter provincial abbreviations, which must not be used for postal purposes:

My new HQ-lRO isn •t getting too much of a DX work-out in y;ukes­Barre due to work and personal commitments during the week. Most DXing le now done here in Gauldsboro on weekends.

DXING AT A NEW ADDRESS LUDA BRODSKY - 55 Nas sau Avenue - Malverne,!iew York - 11565 •••--•••••••• DX has been sparae and my time lillited due to move to a larger house in Aug­ust followed by two part-time jobs. The new house is only five •iles frommy old one . It has a coupJe of DX-interfering problems the other house didn•t - i.e., electrical noiae, ex­treme TV! & aluminum siding. One of the previous residents was evidently a haa or DXer - I found a small hCllllebrew beam in the attic . Some day I'll wire it up & try it. All DX ses­sions since Fall haTe been at SSS using t he TRF & S.11-2 . Here are the new stations heard & taped.

•RUSH HOUR DXING• llARI CONNELLY - 30 Williaa Road - Billerica, lla1sachusett1 - OlS21 2/1/ 80 ••••••••••••• Lilr::e aany othera, I frequently find ayaelf •ired in nearly-stopped traffic trying to get home at the end of the work day. Somo stuck in the traffic lean on their horn• & aalr::e obscene gestures at other motori1t1, but, to paraphraae a bumper aticker, "I•d Rather Be DXing." The focue of thia drhetiae DX turns to TA•• during the late Autumn and Winter when aunset coincide• with the ha..ward o~te. Aa I leaTe TaradJne in BostClll (•­l'OllDd (around 51'& EST) & head iorth on Route 93, I first check •old-reliable• Senegal-765, Uaually it•a there, doing a number on ft'ABC. Furthe....,re, Spain-774 u•ually joins in to banner WABe frcm the other side. We are talking about ft'ABC groundwllve here1 under halfway­reaaonable CX, \'i.ll!C aki? won•t be loud until a half-hour of good sunset TA DX has e lapsed. PortugueH atations on 19, 756, & 1001 usually doainate w/ just alight hets f rom weaker ad­jaeent domeatica. France-1206, ll&uritania-1349, Albani•-lj95, W. Geraany-1422 , Monaco-lli67 , & Saudi Arabia-1521 are usually in with strong hets, aometi111es with perfect audio. lly drive takes me Oil the elevated Central Artery in Boston1. this provides a ccmuoanding view of the harbour and equally-ce>mlll.nding TA reception, Sltyaoraper blockage to the West help• by caus-ing • .,.. attenuation of dollllstic pesto. I hear TA stationa on the car RX, there that I an•t hear on the R-3904 at home. BBe-909 often puts a .,_n het on WABI; audio aurfaoes oc­casionally. !And blockage takea a heavy toll on the TA•s on Route 93 trCD lledford iorth-rd1 often, only 765 8'111 provides clear audio inland. Dakar peaka up on the section of I-93 overlooking Spot Pond in Stoneham. Route 93 meets Route 12S in Reading; I go West on 12S frOll there, then Northward on Route 3A to Billerica. In Billerica, N of 128 (the "electron­ics-belt"highway), the path to Senegal goes over Eastward - projecting Cape Ann whii. farther North TA route• go out to sea over Ipswich/Plum Island, considerably closer. Therefore, while Senegal-765 ia regularly better than SptJ.n-774 in the Stonehaa area, Spain usually provides the stronger het on WABC in Billerica/Tewkesbury. This observation i• very cons istent from night to night. DXing llaritime Canada is another drivetillll pastime: CB!i-640 Nfld., o~en accompanied by a Spain-639 het, is Slf "conditions indicator". In AU ex, Surinaa 1Guadeloupe control 640 at sunset. 73 for now. (Hey llark, who'• watching the ROAD??? -ERe)

The delfiV, in part, was due to the fact that I misplaced the cassettes I recorded, and found them just last week, when they were uneallhed froir. a big box of assorted junk. Anyway, if you were there (or even if you .,..ren•t, bi), and would like a 90 minute tape of the best of the banquet, busi­ness meeting (shortest in history). & the auction (probably the longest, hi) then send me a 90-minute cassette & return postage & I'll fix you right up\ Stlme of the highlights in-clude our speaker, WSB•a Aubrey "50,000 Watt" Morris; IDXD editor CHUCK HUTTO!i pawnir.g off ancient Grundig radios (ach tung\); Ted Flywheel'• "K-Tel" specials; the Kestevala wonderir.g bow they'll get all that stuff thrcug,. customs; & the selling of a rare (of 1orts), - one in a million, Terie request. rt•1 all there, hi, The reason I am elaboratir.g on this tape ia that there ii not much DX to report, except1 l~ - WTJ(}l-910 -• heard w/s/on @ 7am - this 1e not listed in the Log, nor any All Switches of late, bot lo & behold, I found it in the latest "Ylhite•a Log".

Mexicans, to the majority of us who speak little or no SS , sound "forei&n" (except XEG, XEMO, XETRA, etc.) because of the ll!USio & language.

A few news items - WNOE-lo6o has changed it s night pattern and raised night power to 5Qkw. First night they got a phone call from Rochester, N.Y. and are bragging about getting into 26 states. The Atlanta Arbitron Book i s out ard the re­sults are interesting. ll'S B-750 is still on top , but only by .6 or a point. The next SIX are Fl111 lrZGC, W~I-F.11, 'fi'rLS- F.11, flVEE, liPCH, & WSB-F.11. Atlanta l i steners o.re tuned to F.11 about 6o% of the time as Ollly two A.II'• - WoB-750 and WRNG-680 haTe good s ignal coverage at night. The next 1.11 is WGl:iT-9::0 which is all-news t in eighth place . For nostalgia buffs WQXI-790, in 1970 the f2 station hao shrunk to 12th place w/ a 2.8% share - a result mo.inly or bad signal coTerage. On other newo, I have mi xed feeling on the 9 kc. spacing . As far as the average listener goes it won•t affect them. The actual spacing f or local stations is really 30 ko at least (maybe n111r it will be 27 kc?) Due to the poor selectivity of mo st reoeiTers the only people it will really hurt is the stations that have highly directional signal• _ re-t uning a six..toorer array gets expensive. It•s kind of aad about the demise of the TRF. I haTe an old 1972 Realistic TRF, which has no crystal filters but oeTeral IF'• and it worka as well as the one they just dropped and wi th better tone quality. Thi s is getting long so 73's to all.

Mistakes WTH0-1530 WTNJ-1300 FCC Information misquoted by one of our WTOC-1290 soucces a few months ago assigned an WTRA-1480 already assigned call to Cleveland MS WTWN-1340 on 1410. W Dii< became W RDG, not W DRG. WUPE-lUO Retain, on Page 183 ·n DRG-1260. AND WWG0-1450 eliminate WDR G-1410, On page 187 WWPR-1260 ADD: WYIG-1590 26-WRDG-1410 GBAA-990 GBAE-990 AND NOTE THAT during compilation GBAG -1550 (where the editor puts call letter material GBAH-580 on page-by-page cards), I put two adds GBAI-1320 onto my delete cards. Turn to page GBAJ-1230 186 and add: GBAK-990 13-WLPQ-1600 GBAL-1230 14-WU:N-1600 GBAQ-1530 GBAS-600 ALSO: GBEP-730 GBFJ-ll40 If you note some problems with the numbering GBFP-1240 of the call-letter changes, it's because GBFQ-710 the editor worked out a numbering correlation GBFS-1340 system that d idn 1t work. The editor is so GBFU-990 far behind on Log-Updater work that GBHG-1340 the catch-up is full of bugs. The information GBHH-610 should be good • •• it 1s just the system GBKB-860 that's fouled up. GBOB-1400 REGARDING ERRORS: GBOF 5 -1090 They happen, due, among other things, to GBOW-990 the editor's typos, The editor's feelings are GBXF-860 definitely NOT hurt by picky people pointing

out errors so they can be corrected. Please continue!

IERMIT GEARY - R.D. 4 - BOi~Wainutport, Pennsyhada - 18088 1/ 29 / 80 ••••••••••o No five-verie day t ·o report, but a three-verie day on 1/ 18, when nice letters were received from C!AR-1~50 ·and liTKC-1300, and a v 'q from WXT613-1610, 2 watts (250 llliles per watt), other veriea have come from CJTN-1270 (• 'cM), WKCM-1140, ll'VEL-1140, all letters, lYDNH-1590 on my report, and a v.1q from WYNK-1380. Replies are Mllllling about 50% so far this season, with hopes for a few stragglers to show up. Consider that in 1936 there -were only two conei1tant non-verifiers, the James R. Doss stations WJRD & 1/liFO, but both co.me into the fold by 1938. Cubans were the problem non-verifiers in those days. Non-verifying prolifer­ated in the 50 1 1 and 6011 until it reached today•• sad proportions, On the brighter aide, recent logging• are aa follows, 1/ 17- WCNS-1480 (ex-WTRA) 6115-7110&111. 1/ 21- CK0-1470 1159-2118&111, followed by super-catch CKNR, Elliot lake, C&lt. on top of the l?l;O 11esa with local progralllllling and ads, 3103-4103aa, not a bad GY log ging at 550 miles. 1/ 22- CJMR-1190 on top of the ch .. nel 4137-5pm - no formal s / off; leaves the air a~er a goodbye song frlllll Mississ­auga. lilt.Dy years of searching for 11IY0-136o at SRS & SSS paid off on 1/22 when programming with looal ada broke through @ 5107-5115pm. 1/ 25 - ZNS3-810 o/ lfGY/BJCY with local programming and ads, B121-8134pa, to try for a verie frOlll Freeport, 1/28- 910 kHz was unusually quiet at 21;1)&111, leaving 1001' WPFB i n charge, This ia an old-ti11111 regular, but not heard here in recent years ; 11SB4-910 waa back by 3am.

I guess that I 1m due for an overdue check-in to the lluae Master, IRC, Ky DXing ha• hit a little snag, 1omebody moat not like me in thi1 neighborhood, hi! First off, a new noiee has settled in the aid-section of the band, either from a light dimner or a flu ore1oent light, and it 1 1 there 24 hours a day. Problem is that it•s too weak to locate, as soon ae you walk out of the hou1e, it• a gone. It• s not colling from anything here, I've had all the power off and it•a still there, 10 it•a ooaing OYer the lines. I don't know what I• 11 do when I find it, •ybe the next report will . be coming from a padded rooa, hi! To DX1 l~- WIPA-1490 1:58-2: 12plll wlNBC lllX, then MoR, ex-WDDL, WGA.L. 1/21 -WQCC-154.o 51l4-5130pm w/ c/w mx, •X-WRPL, IVGlllT-930 5151-6 :03pa • 'T-4o, no sign or WBElll (for a change). One lone verie in, a nice v/ l froa WIPA-1490, keeping Pennsylvania at 100& veri­fied (f-143), total, 1,105. I•a glad to 1ee that •11118 co .... nta are showing up on the 9 kH& spacing and expandon of the AK band propoaed by the FCC. )ly opinion is that no -tter what the FCC tries, I believe that AK radio in your bigger oitiea baa seen ita better days, being to.ken OYer by Fii. What the FCC should do ii aake •- very 1trict rulea over the problema with aan--de noise, which i• probably Cillo or the biggest contributing factors of: people lwitchin« to ni. A• you (and I) 11'11l~ow, TVI ii the bluest noise source or all. If TV aanutacturera were told that their 1et1 can•t generate any 1ignal1, there wouldn't be any probl.... And if the lllli9r1 of light d~r1, heaters, fluorescent lights were told that their unit• couldn't generate noiae, things aay be a bit different, My feeling ii that there•• a let aore to it than ju1t ol'llllming aost stations into the banrl , which ia already over-crowded to 1tart with. 73•s.

THOSE l'iEhE THE DAYS, KY FRIEND C!WUES L. HUTTON - 1035 Lath- Road - Dicatur, Georgil - 30033 •••••••,....••••.. I suppose I just bllrely qualify for the ten-year-member issue . It W1ll 1967 I believe when I first joined liRC, having received a s&111ple bulletin a few years earlier from HQ in Pennsylvania (DICK COOPER, but I forget where i n Pa.) and finally joining a~er receiving another ao.aple •~er CE JOE JO!IES of WDEL-1150 apparently pas1ed my name along to HQ. Joe haa recruited lllAIJ¥ a member for NRC this way. I recall having the bulletin• arrive inside an envelope that W1lS absolutely crammed to capacity - back in those da7s t he bulletin waa multi-colored mimeod sheets cC1ning from Ca bridge (JOHN CALIARMAN and later Gordon Nel son etal.) Nemes I remember and someti110s wonder what haa happened to them are: lEN KRUSE or Dulnaque (who didn't aake it even to the Lincoln ConTention and no one seems to have heard from him receutly}, FRANK liHEElER, STEYiA!i.T DRAKE in Philly, and the unforgettable RAIPH JOHAJIJIS. I •• very surprised to l earn that Uncle Ralphie had pas sed away when I rejoined in 1975, .. aberahip having lap1ed in 1971. Another surprise was findi ng He~y Blooper far Jorth ot where he wa1 supposed to be (Brooklyn, where he had been for as long as I could re ­call}. We sure had a far different Club those days- a Jalch aore amateur but aore fraternal affair, with a lot aore old-timers active. Too bad I threw out all my old bulletin• and logs ; I have tried for yeara to obtain a good collection of back issues with little luck. The only page of a bulletin that sur",ived frClll the 60 1 1 has baclr-to-bac lr Muses from myself and ALIAN li!ERRIIUll; ten years later..,·were back-to-ba ck editor s of IDnl \ !!ere• s hopin g Ernie rounds up quite a few of the real old-tilller• who can tell the re st of us some tales of what it was like. Lastly, a remeiii'lirance of what is still my greatest DX thrill : As a teenager i n the 6o•a, cpite naturally I had no sophisticate d receiving O!pipment. Most of my DXin g was on good quality portables or a Star Roamer, but the bes t radio in the house wa•n't i n the house it was a Vi'I car radio. If per chance I happened to wake up i ~ the middle of the night, it was out to the cold with a blanket and a flashli ght (plus a copy of the original mimeod NRC loose ­leaf logl) to try some DXing, One cold \\inter n ight I managed to hear KFI & also KNX, I be­lieve, a~er many fruitless tries, To a young !rid trying to DX this way, thi s waa a recep­tion I'll never forget & my biggest thrill. It seemed quite impossible to me with that RX at t hat time, Now I can hear KFI ni ghtly on the We st Beverage but nothing haa the excitement t hat th is did .

The CW IDs helped a lot i n snaggi ng the TESTa from WKXL-1450 and ll'VLC-1170. However, I'd already verif ied WKXL in 8/61. I •l•o reported WCXI-1130, a call change from WCAR , CFIP-1000 blasted in at SSS on 12/ 9 (with at least 12 local ads in 20 lllinutes). On 1/24 I was surprised to hear a strong Southerly ET/rT hold its own on 1580 from 1125 to 21l4am, with the insipid selectivity on the THF, it mu1t have been either WP GC or WYFA to aurTive onslaught from slobbering local CKIJ! . I sent a tentative to ERC1• "very testy" WYFA. Veriea dribbled in from CFIP-1000 l'iDI.11-1330 WJ BQ-1440-PP/ c & WITS-1510. Reports are still out to WCXI-11'° ~ CFIX W LC-1170 . (Andy, WVLC•a v/ a, Howland Jones, GK, told me he has sent out all veries, so yours· 1111et have gone astray - better send a f / up - ERC ) A~er nearly 20 1e•r• of BCB DX, I have 1,488 veries from 1, 562 loggings, for a return of over 95%. tmtil 1/ 22, our Winter was unusually balmy & snowlesa.

Listen to S1r where super-high powwa are the rule rather than the exceiption and notice the QRll on 9 aHz and above, then check the stations 5 m.'!z and below where powers are usually lOkw & beloir. Interesting how they get out with, say, 5kw and WSW w/50kw 1a having a tough go.

This article should help East Coast DXers to predict daytime receptions, just as the NRC . Pattern Book assists w~th night-time domestic DX predictions. Until a day pattern book becomes available, these studies are the best aids we have. Other DXers may wish to compile similar analyses for the West coast and for the M~dwes t/G,.eat Lakes regions.

(Vernon) CUBA The Vo ice of Cuba is now broadcasting in EE to Nortn Am­erica (and the Caribbean) via a high-powered MW xmtr. I can't help but feel my mentioning the advantages of medium wa.ve during a visit to RHC 12/27 may have had something to do with this. First noted by Gordon Byrd in Tampa 1/24 and noted here 1/27. Programming is the same stuff as on RHC and obviously produced there, including "PO Box 7026" heard 1/27 at 0640, tho LVC gives it's own PO Box 6017 during ID's. This is an extension of what has been dOlle for a long time in Spanish overnight on many other frequencies, a quasi-external service "La Voz de Cuba" also taking RHC pgms. They also have a pseudo-DX pgm "Musical QSL " heard 1/27 at 0645-0700, "dedicated to DX 1 ers the world over", but actually nothing but reading of reception reports to them and dedicated music. LVC has its own chime IS, which while de­rivlng from one of the main revol utionary themes, is very pleas­ant to listen to. This service is announced as running from midnight to 6 AM Habana time, and will probably stay that way when Cuba goes on DST at a different date from the US. Ron Schatz (who accompanied me to Habana) says the Cubans have been making a lot of MW frequemcy changes, so the site on 600 KHz may not be the same as now appears on the lists. Tho RHC has EE 0630-0800 on S\·I, it was not parallel to this; indeed si­multaneous SW EE broadcasts aren't . parallel to each o ther, either. (Hauser) CMKV I assume n oted here now using EE and asking for reports to The Voice of Cuba , Box 6017, Habana. I heard their Sports Roundup with that "famous Cuban athlete" David McMurray, hi, at 0830 on SM 1/27. They had a pgm of questions and answers about Cuba on MM 1/28, g iving a different box number fer those-Box 7026. Looks like the Olympics will consist of Russian and Cuban athletes, hi. I sent a report! (Cooper) Same stuff as Glenn and Ernie, very loud so must be CMKV. By the way, seems that CMVi has moved to 580 because all of a sudden t here is a big signal fr om Cuba there. (Hutton) CUBA CMHQ S·anta Clara strong here w/R. Liberacion pgm 0330 '17'1'9. (Maxwell) UNID EE here //648.

@ B.fil! ZEALAND carriers found here, also 756 and 882, MM 1/28 in the_0900-1000 period, all of them quite weak and yielding no audio. My notebook tells me that I checked for NZ on 21 mor­nings during January, occasionally found carriers, but no audio. Was much better tn January 1979 when I could hear 882 and 756 almo~t every morn~ng. Was actually getting bored with them. Terr7ble DU ex thi~ January.
