[A-DX] HCJB 6050

[Christoph Ratzer <dx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Es gibt sie noch die guten Nachrichten! 
Somit sollte der frühmorgentliche Empfang aus Equador auf 6050 wieder besser möglich sein!

(A-DXer Stephan Schaa via DLXD):

Hello all!

I don't think that RHC will furthermore using the frequency of 6050 khz, a
frequency that HCJB continuously uses for more than six decades to presence.

Sir Arnaldo Coro Antich himself promised that RHC will leave 6050 kHz again
to the next (A11) season. He stated (to us directly via phone and to others
like sources passed on to us) that RHC would never have used this frequency
if they had known that HCJB in Ecuador still uses it. 

I think that Mr Arnaldo Coro Antich and other responsible staff at RHC are
honorable personalities and so I assume that theres a fault in the schedule
information which pointed out that RHC will still use the frequency of 6050
khz in A11 again (particulary because it would also violate the ITU
regularities, like various higher ranked persons also stated . A thing that
RHC certainly wouldn't want to do). 


Background: 

RHC uses the frequency of 6050 kHz, a frequency that Radio HCJB uses
continuously for more than six decades, from november 2010 on at the same
times like HCJB does. 

Even if their transmission is beamed in direction to north america, they
also radiate the amout of at least 8 kW HF Power on the backlobe direct into
HCJBs 10 kW Transmitter target zones north of Quito, as Mr. Arnaldo Coro
Antich stated himself in his Radio Show. 

The problem occured because throug jurisdictional changes at HCJB it was
failed to re-enter the frequency information into the ITU Frequency List
(whereas all information have been re-entered continuously into the HFCC
frequency schedule).

Because RHC recognizes the ITU list only and not the HFCC Lists, RHC thought
that the frequency 6050 khz would be clear and could be used by them. 

(ITU regulations specify that in such cases a frequency should not simply be
'taken over' by another station but the station that hasn't updated their
frequency information should be informed to update their schedule on the ITU
and ask if they don't want to use the frequency anymore in future,
especially if the station is still on the air on this frequency before.) 

RHC said that if they had known that HCJB is still broadcasting at the
frequency of 6050 khz they would not have used it. 

A lot of HCJB listeners have confirmed through the last months that the HCJB
transmissions are disturbed heavily and complained. 

In addition to the spanish langues porogramming, particulary the ingigenious
language programmes are affected by this problem, large parts of the
transmissions at these times are disturbed enourmously in the northern
receiving areas.     

Meanwhile and already some time ago all Information about the use of the
frequency of 6050 khz have been updated again by HCJB/ Vozandes Media at the
ecuadorian telecom authorities who themselfs forwarded them to the ITU. 

HCJB and RHC have gotten along well with each other in regard to frequency
coordination and we at HCJB hope that this will be same in future,
especially as HCJB/Vozandes Media will transmit in larger scales again in
near future from ecuador.
