** EGYPT [non]. 9440, Oct 7 at 2115 and after 2200, no signal from R. Cairo sesquihour in English. How long has it been since anyone heard it, even dead air? At least other stations courteously keep it clear, China between 2100 & 2300; BBC not on until 2200. The A25 mostly? imaginary R. Cairo sked: https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A25&broadc=ERU All are on 9 MHz band, no doubt an antenna limitation. Any of the others ever heard? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. Oct 7 at 2025 UT, several cable TV channels freeze or go to black, via Optimum [sic] in Enid. No apologies or stand-bys on screen, but probably solar transit outages affecting the particular satellite they feed through: MSNBC, CNN, HLN, USA at least.

Something`s always erroneous at Emirler: 2256 restarts IS with German IDs. 2300 TS and s/on German for two broadcasts, not this one!
