Living between "light-ups": the consequences of the electricity system
disaster for Cubans --- 'There's no chicken in Santiago de Cuba,'
complains a mother of three. 'The MSMEs were the ones that had it,
despite the price cap, but they rotted, due to the blackouts'

Santiago de Cuba residents have to make the most of the few hours of
electricity they have. In general, the collapse of the National
Electroenergetic System (SEN) keeps the entire island in a state of
aggravated anxiety due to the lack of credibility of statements issued
by the country's leaders.
For the people of Santiago, it is crucial to make the most of the
scheduled "light-ups," which range from four to six hours a day.
"I don't understand why, if Hurricane Rafael passed through the west,
electricity goes out all across country," says Abel, a retired English
teacher. "When Oscar hit Guantánamo, the SEN didn't fail. Obviously,
the system is not well balanced. It is shit. Like everything that
remains in Cuba, it's broken. They should just leave us with the
sunlight, because every day we use less electricity. "...``

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 20 at 2256, the NAm frequency of REE is OFF
again! No signal direct nor into Maryland SDR. Something`s notright at
Noblejas. 17715 on, 17755 still off; and 12030 backwards for ME is
sufficient, S8/9+10. Preview about an exhibition inside a ship in
Madrid. 2302 news leading with child poverty high in Spain. 2307
`Titanic` song, exhib until Jan 5 is immersive experience, as if
inside that ship, interview about. Really too much of their token
English is devoted to exhibitions rather than more important current
events; but interviewing exhibitors is a lot easier, and safer? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.016-, Nov 20 at 2256, VOT not off the air, only S9+5
direct = hi noise level; but into UTwente where measured, S9+30/35 and
only a bit of the 6CI JBA under. After olds, 2312 `Unexpected Twists
of Fate` about invention of safety pin, voiced by Efsun so can`t
really follow the details, until 2322, right into `The Middle East and
Turkey`, about how relations may change with *rump resuming; by an
``international relations expert`` whose name I cannot possibly copy.
2327 music, 2335 `Sports Panorama`. 2341 or so music. 2353 s/off as if
1330 on 13635: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2354 fragment of IS
for a few sex, off* uncovering the CCCCCCI which becomes merely CCCCI.
No finesse, something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7780, Nov 20 at 0736, this WRMI is back on air, after
missing yesterday from at least 0330 when WOR should have aired (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9847, Nov 20 at 1910, huge dirty blob signal centered about
here as WTWW-2 is acting up, totally unreadable noise, while proper
frequency 9930 is OK but much weaker than usual; until 1913* as I am
checking these out for George who says the xmtr readings are going
haywire. A few minutes later, back on and back to normal, TOMBS with
big clear signal on 9930 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7489.938, Nov 20 tuning WBCQ in early before WOR, music
during Pirate Joe`s `Extravaganzo`, but at 2159 closing he mentions
WHVW-FM and WBCQ. So I guess it`s WHVW(AM) only that is out of
service. It was on 950, while there is no WHVW-FM in WTFDA FMDB.
Instead it`s a mere translator as per NRC AM Log, W243EI on 96.5, Hyde
Park NY. The AM was only 500/57 watts. But, but operating a `translator`
with nothing to relay is not yet? kosher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
