RHC on 11950 (?!)
« on: April 20, 2020, 1305 UTC »
Spinning the dial I ran across RHC @ 12:59 UTC just as they were signing off with a YL giving the station ID.  Very solid signal.   I can't recall ever picking them up on this frequency.

SINPO: 4-5-4.   Couldn't assess fading  as station QRT'd @ 12:59.   I only was a able to monitor for about 30 seconds before they went off the air.

I cannot find an A20 frequency list for RHC on any of the online resources I use, that includes RHC's home page.  The frequency of 11950 was used by RHC from 0000-0100 utc in the B19 season for a Spanish broadcast a few nights a week but not daily, according to a web source.  I had picked them up on 11950 in December 2019 in the 1200 utc hour. 

Here's my logging of that frequency for them under a host of odd frequencies: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,49146.msg176428.html#msg176428
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)

Perhaps Pedro doesn't know that A20 has begun yet.

That's possible considering that their governance and economy are still back in the 1960's
