** CUBA. 11880, Nov 19 at 2317, RHC dead air with hum, S9/+20 when
French supposed to emit, as usually the case lately; I keep missing
chex at 2200 when supposed to be in English; 2340 during Portuguese,
with dead air, S9+10/20, but at 0000 Nov 20, 11880 is already off
instead of English. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 19 at 2300, a JBA carrier on the DX-398
portable where REE English bigsig ought to be audible, so off? No, at
2316 on the bigrig it`s S7-S8 but only VP with Spanish excerpt during
English. 12030 is JBA, and 11670 has a JBA carrier, not 11685. Recheck
on other bigrig at 2335, 9690 in French now makes S9/+10 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Nov 20 at 0100, WBCQ webcast starts
`AAAWWW`. I don`t even try SW now but earlier noticed that had
reverted to minus instead of plus side of 7490.000. First interjexion
in WTO theme is ``O, yeah``. Starts gloating about Kyle Rittenhouse
not-guilty verdict as if this is somehow a loss for false president
Biden. They hope Kyle will sue those who opposed the verdict. Etc.,
etc., usual political rants against moonbats = democrats = socialists
= communists. 0120 hopes trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790.

Explains rerun 2 weeks ago: an hour before airtime a big oak tree fell
on house and power was out most of night. And last week no show
because out of town on business. 0123 datestamp as 19 of November,
YOOLF 2021. Refers to Vice President Kamala Harris, who was briefly
President today, as ``the clown``. 0135 rants that WBCQ has been
``punished`` by ``this government, the FCC`` for being religious and
conservative, i.e. about denying the WHRI acquisition. Usual vague
threats about lawsuits pending. Altho it is a matter of public record
that Allan`s own sister, Barbara, was instrumental in filing
opposition to the sale, I`ve never heard him mention her or hint that
it`s such a family matter. Another blind spot: FCC stalling of WHRI
sale started under the government of T****, but oops, He Can Do No
Wrong.

0138 complete change of subject, an article about evolution on the
grand scale such that advanced ETs would have developed into
Artificial Intelligence beings, and that may be the ultimate fate of
us mere flesh-and-blood carbon lifeforms. 0153 reads some items from
new Free Radio Weekly just out, never with enough detail to enable
further loggings. Emails: someone points out huge deficit T**** ran
up, is that OK? Sure, any tax breaks to big business trickle down,
good for us all. What happened last week with Tim Tron? He doesn`t
know. 0200 prayer as usual running over a minute past opening of Hal
Turner, JIP 0201. Here`s John Carver`s version listening on SW only:

``Tonight's show started on time on 4790 and 6160 but no signal on
7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about the trial in
MN. Then reads a piece sent to him from Camp Constitution. 6160 goes
to hell about then so have to switch to 4790 as there is still nothing
on 7490. Discussion about the piece and the government in general.
Then some talk about one of Allan's favorite things, the IRS. Allan
said that last week they were gone on business and the week before
when a rerun ran they were ready to start the show and a tree fell and
killed the power to their neighborhood. Then some Trump talk for
awhile. Also talks again about how they were persecuted for being
conservative, religious, believing in free speech and free thinking.
Also reads a piece that posits that AI will overtake humans in the
future and flesh and blood people will cease to exist and that ET is
actually AI. Then more discussion about this. Brief reading of emails
and starts off at 0153 with an overview of the Free Radio Weekly. The
computer at the station restores the feed for Brother Stair promptly
at 0200 cutting off Allan's show. No closing prayer this evening and
surprisingly no phone calls. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser,

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 17 at 2355, RHC in Brazuguese, music, S9/+10, Nov
18 at 0000 into English, // 5040 overmodulated, plugs mailbag coming
up. Meant to check whether this lasted full hour on 11880, as if

``The Power Vacuum in Cuba Paves the Way for the Onset of a New
Revolution --- The members of Archipiélago embody a social movement
born of civility, not violence. The regime's ideological and political
foundation is broken. EMILIO MORALES | Miami

Map with some of the cities where there will be Cuban demonstrations
for change. (Yan Estrada. Archipiélago/Facebook)

Many wonder what will happen in Cuba in the days, weeks and months
that lie ahead, given the tension spawned by the systemic failure of
the regime and the spread of citizen protests the likes of which had
not been seen in the last 62 years. For the first time the balance
seems to lean more towards the fall of the "Havana Wall" than towards
the regime's perpetuation in power.

It is still difficult to know when it will happen, but in any case, no
matter how the regime resists the forces of change, what represents
the new will end up prevailing over all that no longer works.

The so-called "Cuban Revolution" is dead because it was tailor-made
for a dictator who had no qualms about designing and implementing it
at his convenience, employing sheer terror. . .``

** FRANCE. 17800v, Nov 18 at 1518, no signal from Minitransat yacht
race on AM into Maryland SDR; nor in DRM at 1725 check. So it`s

** NORTH AMERICA. 6919.95V, Nov 18 at 0708, S9/S7 undermodulated rock
song. Unusual to hear any pirate this late, and no reports of it in
HFU. However, Radio Pushka had been reported recently at odd hours on
6920 AM:

** OKLAHOMA. 4800, Nov 18 at 0718 UT, weak mix of talk stations vs
CODAR, something new and still there with preamps off, so seems
external to the R75. I barely make it partially // local KGWA as 5 x

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Nov 17 at 1512, still NO signal from
LRA36 into three Brazilian SDRs; nor at 1543 into one Argentine.
Formerly active bihour Wed around 14-16, so suspect summer hiatus in
progress until the new quadri-woman team take over in Feb or Mar
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 13750, Nov 18 at 0002, checking out HSK9 North American
service of R. Thailand, as I am amazed by the decent to good reception
often reported elsewhere in the continent, but the 250 kW never any
good here. My generous meter claims S5-S8 but it sounds VP, with
flutter, unreadable. Will there be any change at 0030 when they
supposedly switch slews from east coast to west? Well, at 0032 it`s
even worse, JBA carrier.

Who cares about reaching the Great Center of North America? HFCC B21
shows CIRAF 7, central for the entire span 0000-0330 UT but axually on
periphery of E&W; center beam of 30 degrees only at 0030-0100 is
slewed -24 to 6 degrees at 0000-0030 and again 0200-0330 when CIRAF 8
is added = east coast; slewed +8 degrees to 38 for English at
0030-0100 only; English again at 0200-0230 for the east coast, same as
at 0000, scheduling which does not make much sense.

As for the approx. center targets of each beam: 6 degrees, north of
Alaska, into Detroit; 30 degrees skirting SW Alaska mainland, to
Portland to El Paso; 38 degrees, across Aleutians down California
coast such as Point Reyes.

Meanwhile, I am also checking remotes, for comparison: in Maryland
there is no signal before or after 0030. Of course this path is almost
transpolar, and would normally be inferior, less propagable.

However, the KPH remote at Point Reyes on the coast of California is
getting it at S3, yet sufficiently readable, also with quick
short/long path echo which I am hardly expecting: Comparing short to
long path from Udorn to KPH, the short path goes no further north than
the Aleutian islands, while LP crosses the Indian Ocean, the other
Prince Edward Island, ham DXpedition target Bouvet, across Argentina,
Galápagos and up the west coast of México. All this consulting my
trusty NGS globe with geometer.

Short distance is 7600 statute miles = 12231 km, per
distancefromto.net so long path would be 17300 stmi = 28360 km. The
difference between L&S = 16130 km. Compared to speed of light, 298
Mm/sec, that`s 0.054 second, or an echo delay of between 1/19 and 1/20
of one second. All approx., of course, and axual distances bouncing
off the ionosphere would be slightly more than great circles at ground
level.

Via KPH remote: 0025 a *commercial* for Subaru cars with cruise
control, 0026 news headlines. Probably the only government external
service with ads. Carrier drops for a few sex at 0029.5, interrupting
headlines, back on sounds slightly louder but not on the meter in USB
mode. In AM mode it makes S4. And now it switches to THAI rather than
another semi-hour in English! as had been the case in previous seasons
and still alleged in HFCC B21. Checking KPH again at 0208, reads S3
but sounds JBA in presumed English.

Further evidence that while accessing the VOA relay in Udorn, no doubt
as part of the bilateral deal, PRD ought to insist on using Greenville
for broadcasts to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0725 UT, ND beacon which is broken.
CIN? Third letter stutters. It`s really CIR, 25 watts from Cairo IL,
and another listener also found this in RNA Signals List:
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals
``20181130 - Bill Stewart reports a 'hic-up' on the 'R'. Often sounds
like CIN``. Already went over this anomaly in my last log of January
27. They sure have had plenty of time to fix it! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0721 UT, regular HRU, 25-watt NDB at
Herington KS is mixing with a weaker one, but almost the same period,
currently obscuring its first letter, but it ends with OC. Aha, that`s
OOC, 25 watt NDB in Natchitoches LA, which I discussed at length
recently. RNA Signals List indeed shows a period of 7.90 seconds for
HRU, and 7.8 seconds for OOC. So it would take a long wait for them to
separate at the rate of 0.1 second per iteration. Eventually they
would be totally alternating. I was tuned to 405 USB where I hear them
much better than 407 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
