** CUBA. 9565, Nov 15 at 0733, weak pulse jamming. Despite all the
problems, such as hardly any RHC or Rebelde, the DentroCuban Jamming
Command manages to get back on air to jam against nothing, a Radio
Martí frequency never overnight, currently scheduled 2100-0100 only
per EiBi. The other side:

Chinese trade with Latin America has been constantly on the rise, with
the island it has been a resounding failure.
Rafaela Cruz La Habana 04 Nov 2024 - 17:12 CET
In September, the Cuban Government closed the "Chinese Costco" in

shoes and food.
The closure of China Import — its real name — was ordered because
inspectors "discovered" that dollars were traded there, taxes were
evaded, and undocumented workers were hired; that is, the same things
being done in private businesses all across the country, as it is the
only way for them to survive the legal and fiscal morass to which
Castroism subjects them...``

check Fri Nov 16.
Does not fail to air token English Fri Nov 15 at 2300, same 3
frequencies as above; 9690 is VG S9+20/30 direct. ToH music keeps
running thru the timesignal but soon s/on English. Preview feature to
be about the volcanic eruption 3+ years ago in La Palma, Canary
islands, a documentary film has been made about it. 2302 news starting
with aftermath of the Valencia floods. 2309 ending commentary about
*rump and ME policy, apparently by the Lebanon correspondentess. 2310
the volcano story (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5959.993+, Fri Nov 15 at 2259, VOT IS and English ID,
S9+10/20 direct but insufficient vs local S9+10 noise level. S9+35/40
at 2339 into UTwente when measured, unusually offset-minus, `That`s
Why` with Efsun the axentuated, something about ``bank knots``; music.
2350 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2352 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on
13635: something`s always awry at Ankara. And IS, restarting at 2356
with German IDs: something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Did not
catch chopoff time as I hastened to other station frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
