Cuba radio silence amid electric grid failure due to Hurricane Ian

Wednesday, September 28 2022

At 11.25 UT on Wed Sept 28
still no main power at BAU, BEJ, or QUI sites
or
as a precaution to avoid antenna and feeder line damage,
no SW transmission is on air at present by RHC during hurricane.
No 5025 nor 5040 kHz outlets on air either.

"Cuba’s Electric Union said in a statement that work was underway to
gradually restore service to the country’s 11 million people during the
night. Power was initially knocked out to about 1 million people in Cuba’s
western provinces, but later the entire grid collapsed."
Consequently, there appears to be total radio silence from Cuba right now.
No traces of Radio Havana or any jamming — not on a handful of known
frequencies I just checked, anyway.
