** CUBA. 5025, Jan 19 at 0727, S9+10 of dead air from R. Rebelde; all RHC frequencies are off. It seems lately they have not been kept going after 0700. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other Side:
READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW January 18, 2023 EMIGRATION Those who left... are no longer building Cuba --- More than a quarter of a million Cubans abandoned the island last year, and the vast majority were young people, many of them highly educated. RAFAELA CRUZ |La Habana --- Ruins in Havana. (Diario de Cuba) [caption] A simple walk through Havana — at the risk of twisting an ankle in a hole in the sidewalk, or a skull fracture from a falling shard from a balcony — is enough to appreciate the state of the country's physical capital: its streets, factories and machines are crumbling, from poverty. Cuba is falling apart. But Cuba is also moving apart too, as if pieces of the island were breaking off to float to more fertile shores, with more than a quarter of a million Cubans leaving the island last year, the vast majority young people from an aging country, and many highly educated, seeking to blossom far from the people whose efforts paid for their studies... https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1673973149_44663.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 19 at 0729, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, again the only 9/kHz split detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0 ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Thu Jan 19 after 1600 UT, KUCO-FM with weekly `Spotlite on the Arts` at its traditional time, interviews about upcoming OKC performances, Kimberly Powell and guest about Mozart`s Requiem this weekend. SOTA continues to be unshown on KUCO program schedule, rather `Performance Today` M-F during this hour. I was wondering what happened to it. Website also has nothing new about its content. Jeff Hagy, new GM had been hosting it. For years before, it was a remote from the OKC Museum of Art but apparently not any more. Not necessarily for full hour, depending on number of guests, then back to music (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U A E. 9840.106, Jan 19 at 0324, way off-frequency carrier with flutter, S4/S6, maybe trace of music. Vietnam comes to mind as a traditional skewed frequency, but EiBi & Aoki show that not on ``9840`` until 1000-2400. At this hour 0300-0500, it has to be BBC in Arabic to ME via Al-Dhabbiya (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

This thing is creeping later, also reported 05-06 on 15770 instead of scheduled Israel Radio, which presumably came via WRN as scheduled daily that hour. So much for a rare temporary chance to hear KAN on SW; however, midnite propagation on 15 MHz is problematic, and the other frequency 7730 remains imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 19 at 0724, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu, and a slightly stronger one on 11835. Manuel Méndez and Ron Howard report it was on 3945 plus harmonics before 0700 instead of 7260; probably due to tropical cyclone Irene warnings, and Ron says open carriers from all three were still on at 1526 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1470.028 approx., Jan 19 at 0734 UT, het upon 1470 stations. Nothing nearby in MWOffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0144 UT January 20 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
