** CUBA. 15230, Nov 22 at 1544, open carrier S7/S8, presumably RHC
trying to make a comeback. Previous bandscans for several days at
various hours have not hit this. EiBi shows original usage was 23-06 &
12-16; the only other 15230 being V of Fano, clandestine Amharic for
Ethiopia, via France at 17-18 Wed & Sat only. Aoki shows 23-05 &
11-15, no Fano. The only other RHC occasionally reported, early
morning or evening, is 6000.

[But incredibly, Aoki still lists defunct WWRB on 15240 with R Munansi
at 15-21! Like I wrote Sept 20, *2021*: ``BTW, would you believe that
on 15240, Aoki is still listing R. Munansi, the clandestine for Uganda
via WWRB? It`s been gone for more than three years``] (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 AM, Nov 22 at 2313, pirate music S9+10, vs
local noise level of S9/+10. Numerous logs here say it`s 77LJS on 6930
USB, with huge playlists:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,137200.0.html
No one contradicts the initial heading as 6930 USB rather than AM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 22 at 1609, only REE frequency audible at
UTwente, no 17755; and of course, 9690 & 17715 to Hemisphere West not
yet on air. However, first check earlier at 1547 did not hear any of
them direct, not even 12030. By 2011, when all should be on, UTwente
is getting 12030 & 17715 only. Something`s never nominal at Noblejas.

For token English Fri Nov 22 at 2300, direct check finds 9690 still
OFF, 12030 S9/+10 > 17715 >> JBA carrier 17755. Preview feature to be
about Spanish as a major language with 600 megaspeakers, and Spain`s
future plans. 2301 news. 2310 SS language discussion underway. 2324
check into UTwente: 9690 off, and neither 17 audible, just 12030
poorly at S5/S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Fri Nov 22 at 2258 NO signal direct from VOT
English, but algo on 9610, likewise at 2309. UTwente at 2323 gets
Chinese only on 5960 and Mongolian? only on 9610. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2270 monitoring: confirmed Friday November 22 at 1300,
first airing on WRMI 15770, S9+5 direct.

Also confirmed Friday November 22 at 2130 on IRRS via AM Italia,
1322.998- kHz, S9/S7 with fades into UTwente across Europe. Wavescan
finished by 2129, but then a few sex of Amy Goodman finishing
`Democracy Now!` which was otherwise blotted. It`s well worth hearing
at least on NAm stations.
https://www.democracynow.org/stations
or podcasts:
https://www.democracynow.org/
It`s not on a single radio station in OK - Democracy Not Now! but on
some cable TV and indeed lots of CTV listings around world. Not listed
for Italy - IRRS. Nor is it anywhere on the NEXUS-IBA program
schedules - but it might be among numerous unspecified but filler
shows.

WOR 2270 also confirmed Friday November 22 at 2300 on WRMI 9955,

** U S A. 5130 -57 Hz = 5129.943, UT Sat Nov 23 at 0055, this WBCQ is
on for a change, with IS & ID prélude, S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR; 0100
``Radio *rump International on Radio Angela``, dead air, join WTO
late, as meanwhile I have retuned to 7490 -65 Hz = 7489.935 at
S9+15/20 where `AAAWWW` is underway. Earlier, and still, 3265 not on,
and 6160 -69 Hz = 6159.931 at S3/S6 as usual with something else.
Apparent new live episode.  Extols real radio vs digital stuff, and
single word exclamation toward end of theme sounds like ``cathode``.
0103 A&A are together in Deland of Fla where it`s cold -- only 50
degrees. Laments that his hometown station as a kid, WFAS 1230, White
Plains NY, has surrendered its license after a few years of
digital-only, which no one could be listening to. 0108 dead air, or
rather transmission break for less than a minute as a gap in the
waterfall. Plugs transmitters available, needs more business for WBCQ.
The 500 kW leased to WLCR is a Continental 420D. 0141 a new Free Radio
Weekly has just come in, so reads some logs from that until 0148, just
names of pirates, frequency, maybe a bit about programming, no dates,
times, or credits: including something on ``9635`` which was likely a
typo for 6935; and on 7475 YHWH - my log - which he calls
``religious`` - well, yes, but the point is that it`s anti-Christ as I
always denominate it. 0150 reading some emails, with blessedly few
political comments. Prayer and again runs over into Hal Turner JIP
about 0201. Then I check 5130- where the air is dead again, until the
standard canned sign-off at 0202 until 0203.6* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 770, Nov 22 at 0734 UT, `Red Eye Radio` promos, then KKOB ID
plugging streaming. WABC can sometimes be heard but not now. I guess
KKOB, ABQ NM, still on 12.5 kW ND STA. How`s replacing the ballooned
tower coming along? Is KKOB still running the co-channel 230-watt
Santa Fe relay at night, or no longer necessary? Are there any other
such arrangements on AM? WBZ 1030 used to have a WBZA in Springfield
MA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0337 UT November 23

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Nov 21 at 0225 UT, surprised to hear Spanish on what
is surely WKY OKC, the normal dominator, and yes, DF points SSE toward
it. Lots of crowd noise, apparently a stupid ballgame, occasional
remarx but hard to understand as if talking to a companion rather than
projecting as a broadcaster. Maybe it`s TV audio where the axion is
conveyed mainly visually? PA in the background seems English. Not //
640 or 98.1 The Sports Animal, still in English. Remember that WKY
previously had a Spanish stretch, music and DJs as ``La Indomable``
until it wasn`t, 2006-2017y per my archives. Makes `pausas` every so
often, such as 0238, almost all filled by strings of PSAs in Spanish
from ``Ad Council`` pronounced in English, e.g. marijuana. I`m trying
to figure out what kind of SBG it be: big clue, mentions of
``canasta``,i.e. basket, and I also hear sounds of BKB bouncing on the
floors, but never a mention of  ``baloncesto`` -- too formal? At 0254
said there were 8:55 remaining. Seems to mention ``OKC Estandard[? -
later, must have been trying to say ``Thunder``]`` several times. 0301
quick ID inserted by YL voice as ``WKY, Oklahoma City, una estación de
---?`` [Cumulus?] The call letters pronounced in English. Enough of
that.

Circa 0400 I try the WKY webcast part of iHeart, linked from
radio-locator, and now it`s back to English, ID for ``98.1 WWLS The
Sports Animal``. Apparently WKY has no website of its own, rather
directed to WWLS The Sports Animal where WKY is barely mentioned, and
not a word in Spanish. But searching on that English word I get this:
``All Thunder games will air live on the Thunder Radio Network, led by
WWLS (98.1 FM) The Sports Animal in Oklahoma City. All home games are
also broadcast in Spanish on WKY (930 AM). Eleno Ornelas returns to
broadcast all Thunder home games in Spanish.`` And season schedule
shows at 7 PM today there was one vs POR. There is nothing in NRC AM
Log about WKY being bilingual with SS. How long have these games been
SS on WKY? What a comedown, for ``It is the oldest radio station in
Oklahoma and among the oldest in the nation.`` See:

** SPAIN. 17755, Nov 21 at 1905, REE frequency for Africa is finally
back on air, JBA into Maryland, but S7/S9 on 17754.991 into UTwente.
17715 & 12030 also audible at both; and 9690 for NAm is again
INaudible at both. Something`s notright a Noblejas. I was checking
17755 again since JRX in Brasil first reported it at 1740 today. 17755
was last noted here Nov 8, and first noted missing on Nov 11. 9690 was
also off again as of yesterday Nov 20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF

Living between "light-ups": the consequences of the electricity system
disaster for Cubans --- 'There's no chicken in Santiago de Cuba,'
complains a mother of three. 'The MSMEs were the ones that had it,
despite the price cap, but they rotted, due to the blackouts'
Laura Sarmiento Pérez, Santiago de Cuba 19 Nov 2024 - 20:06 CET

A line to buy gas in Santiago de Cuba. Diario de Cuba [caption]

Santiago de Cuba residents have to make the most of the few hours of
electricity they have. In general, the collapse of the National
Electroenergetic System (SEN) keeps the entire island in a state of
aggravated anxiety due to the lack of credibility of statements issued
by the country's leaders.

For the people of Santiago, it is crucial to make the most of the
scheduled "light-ups," which range from four to six hours a day.

"I don't understand why, if Hurricane Rafael passed through the west,
electricity goes out all across country," says Abel, a retired English
teacher. "When Oscar hit Guantánamo, the SEN didn't fail. Obviously,
the system is not well balanced. It is shit. Like everything that
remains in Cuba, it's broken. They should just leave us with the
sunlight, because every day we use less electricity. "...``

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 20 at 2256, the NAm frequency of REE is OFF
again! No signal direct nor into Maryland SDR. Something`s notright at
Noblejas. 17715 on, 17755 still off; and 12030 backwards for ME is
sufficient, S8/9+10. Preview about an exhibition inside a ship in
Madrid. 2302 news leading with child poverty high in Spain. 2307
`Titanic` song, exhib until Jan 5 is immersive experience, as if
inside that ship, interview about. Really too much of their token
English is devoted to exhibitions rather than more important current
events; but interviewing exhibitors is a lot easier, and safer? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.016-, Nov 20 at 2256, VOT not off the air, only S9+5
direct = hi noise level; but into UTwente where measured, S9+30/35 and
only a bit of the 6CI JBA under. After olds, 2312 `Unexpected Twists
of Fate` about invention of safety pin, voiced by Efsun so can`t
really follow the details, until 2322, right into `The Middle East and
Turkey`, about how relations may change with *rump resuming; by an

2327 music, 2335 `Sports Panorama`. 2341 or so music. 2353 s/off as if

** U S A. 7489.938, Nov 20 tuning WBCQ in early before WOR, music
during Pirate Joe`s `Extravaganzo`, but at 2159 closing he mentions
WHVW-FM and WBCQ. So I guess it`s WHVW(AM) only that is out of
service. It was on 950, while there is no WHVW-FM in WTFDA FMDB.
Instead it`s a mere translator as per NRC AM Log, W243EI on 96.5, Hyde

edition of `Pirate Joe Extravaganzo` is underway via WBCQ webcast with
his usual low-key anti-MAGA political ruminations.

Checking since this report in NRC DX News Nov 26 published Nov 19:

transmitter needs fixing.``

This is JP Ferraro`s station; had been simulcasting on WBCQ 7490 as
