** CUBA. 11760, Jan 5 at 0448, RHC S9+20/30 and achieving VG
modulation! It can be done; could be start of a new year trend?
Reluctant to be that optimistic. In Spanish starting segment on artes
y cultura. Something`s not always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:
``Poverty, a lack of medicine and agony: a portrait of a Cuban family
The story of Carlos, Daimara and their children is one of the
increasingly common ones that can be found among the ruins of Havana,
in which poverty is a threat to life itself -- Alberto Martínez La
Habana 02 Ene 2024 - 19:07 CET Carlos is 41 years old and is going blind. This father lives with his
three young children and his wife, Daimara, in extremely precarious
housing in Central Havana, one of the most populous municipalities in
the Cuban capital. His mother-in-law passed away almost three months
ago, after a long ordeal that included dementia...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 15125, Jan 5 at 1644, pop song and talk, S5/S7 but best
extracontinental signal on distressingly mostly vacant 19m band: it`s
CRI relay in Arabic this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Jan 5 at 1631, still a JBA signal here, no
doubt pirate Hikari FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0435 UT, local NDB, EI,
has trace of QRM from another 341. Used to be relatively common to
hear it mixing with OIN, 25 W, OberlIN KS, or the other next-closest
one, DNI, 25 W, Sherman-DeNIson TX (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 6 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30
direct, first feature to be interview about the 2000 Camp David
accords vs current Palestinian situation; into that by 2305, and RSA
charges Israel with genocide at ICOJ, which the speaker says does not
amount to genocide. 2314-2317 Beirut correspondent on Lebanon`s
concerns about the war widening - her pieces are always no more than
two sesquiminutes long. 2317 contact info recorded by the retired
Justin Coe; then about Epiphany = 3 Magos holiday imminent in Spain
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SWAZILAND. 11660, Fri Jan 5 at 1632, HOA song with strumming,
S2/S4. EiBi shows TWR Ethiopian service, different languages depending

Total span is 1630-1800 M-F, 1630-1730 Sat, 1630-1845 Sun (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 5 at 2301, VOT not off the air, S9+20/30 direct
but hardly solid with fading and noise, much inferior to simulSpain on
9690. Next check at 2355 into Maryland SDR, too late, already off

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3215, Jan 5 at 0446, pleased to observe that WWCR-1
transmitter has finally been fixed, with normal good modulation in
discussion of drone rules. 15825, Jan 5 at 1630, daytime WWCR-1 is also back to normal mod,
S9+20/30. Something`s no longer abnormal at Nashville. Presumably will
also apply to transition frequency 6115? Yes, at 2343 check into
Maryland SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search January 5 at
0439-0443: 693?, 774-2, 891-2, 1107, 1521, 1566. Two carriers beating on 891 is very unusual; normally only the biggie
300/100 kW from Algeria. What else could it be? By power, hours and
geography, per MWlist, nothing at all significant in Europe; 2 x 50 kW
in Iran; 100 kW in Ethiopia; 100 kW in Turkey would be more likely.
The beat timed at 140/minute = 2.33 Hz. MWoffsets show Algeria on
890.9982 as of 3 months ago, so the other would be on 891.0005 or
890.9959. Nothing near the higher one in range. Closest to the lower
one would be Ethiopia on 890.9965 as of 2022-02-20. 1566 is surely TWR Benin, Parakou, 100 kW, as there is nothing else of
any significant power in Eurafrica or ME. I`ve detected it before, but
not lately tho have always been alert for it in my 9/kHz bandscans
around this hour. It`s often reported from as far as southwest Canada
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0110 UT January 6
