~ Radio Vanuatu is currently absent from its home on 7260 kHz, and so are its harmonics. Especially the fourth on 11835 kHz.
~ Also in shaky shape is the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. (SIBC) on 5020 kHz. It’s particularly distressing when both stations (SIBC and Radio Vanuatu) seem troubled, since all that’s left is Radio New Zealand, (especially with Radio Tahiti long gone). One can’t really include Hawaii’s WWVH (with its time ticks) or a part-time religious broadcaster, which wouldn’t air island music in any case.
~ Some comings and goings: Cuba’s Radio Rebelde on 5025 kHz has been spotty lately, leaving the frequency open for the Peruvian Radio Quillabamba from the town of the same name.
~ Last month’s headline reads: “WRTH Continues!” A further email clarifies things. The rights to World Radio TV Handbook (WRTH) have been transferred to Radio Data Center GmbH (which is German for company). RDC published the FM List in 1986 and later the MW List which included shortwave listings. It is also known for its European Radio Guidebooks. So, it looks as if we’re safe and secure, information-wise, at least for the time being. RDC was founded by Gunter Lorenz in 2012, who still serves as CEO, and is based in Freising, Germany.
