** ALGERIA. 17600, May 22 at 0647, Ifrikya FM at S7/S8 in music,
French. Propagating again after a spell of lowered night MUFs.

with several other JBA on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, May 22 at 0647, RHC with S9+25/35 of dead air in
English, but no signal on 12000. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Not
found on any other frequency by 5025 Rebelde manages to be on and
modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 9635, May 22 at 0646, no signal from ORTM, and a JBA one on
5995; contrary to last night when only 9635 was on as early as 0648;
traditional switchtime is 0800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 15390, May 22 at 1531, REE finally back on air to Africa,
only S5/S6 in Spanish to UTwente, // stronger 15520 to ME. Both
scheduled to start at 1500 weekdays, 1400 weekends. EiBi shows 15390
target is East Africa, but 161 degrees from Noblejas is more like
West, Central & South Africa. Officially registered CIRAF zone targets
for 15390 in HFCC are 46,47,52,57:

i.e. down the west coast of Africa from Western Sahara to South
Africa, inland as far as the western half of Sudan; East Africa would
be 48.
Reconfirmed all four on air into UTwente, token English from SNR, Wed

S7/S9; 17855.000, S8/9+5. 2207 Salman Rushdie speaking during book
tour in Spain for his latest in translation: note: his books are funny
including `The Satanic Verses`. Undercurrent of translation into
Spanish. 2226 about boxing? competition involving singers, huh? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.009, May 22 at 2200, no signal of VOT English into
UTwente; nor on possibly overrun 9875, nor either by 2215 recheck.
