VENEZUELA (NON), (via Cuba) 6060 kHz, Radio Nacional de Venezuela, 1059-1200 UTC, one repetition of interval signal, then silence for about two minutes, finally repeated several times with sign on in Spanish at 1101. This particular day, other than IDs and addresses, most of the first half hour was in English. Items on how OPEC is upporting Venezuela in its fight against EXXON/Mobil. Also, how Venezuela’s current stance and movement of 10 battalions of troops to near Colombian border is not against the Colombian people, but against the US Empire. Great detail on Ecuadorian President Correa and his current tour of Latin America, including his petitioning support of President Garcia in Peru, then on to Brazil, then further stops planned in Venezuela, Panama, Nicaragua, and Dominican Republic. Correa praised Garcia of Peru for his stance that sovereignty of countries should not be broken, and also thanked President Chavez for his solidarity in favor of international law.
After this was nice folk music, then Spanish up to 1159 UTC.
While their Spanish is well crisp and well pronounced, their English announcers, this morning a woman, had strange use of English, in pronunciation (ASS - em-bly), and in speaking of the Organization of American States as an “organism” vs. organization.
