** CUBA. 11670, Oct 11 at 0640, RHC English at S9+10, a frequency
supposed to be only in Spanish and off by 0500. Sometimes happens,
failing to change same transmitter to one of 49mb frequencies, as now
all but 6165 are off, and that is also much weaker. However, 5040 is
also still on and in English, contrary to sked. And 5025 Rebelde is
off again. Somethings` always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [non]. 846 kHz, Tue Oct 11 at 0622, no signal here from
R. Kiribati. Still JBA carriers on 684 & 621, likely Peninsular and
Islander Spain, still pre-sunrise.

For those who may be confused. Kiritimati is the correct spelling in
Gilbertese of Christmas. It sounds more similar than it looks, as the
``ti` is their way of rendering ``s``. It`s a subset of the entire
widely-spanned country of Kiribati, pronounced Kiribas, itself a
corruption of Gilbert. As such, Kiritimati should be considered a
separate ``radio country``, with 2 kilomiles of ocean between its
eastern and western islands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11775, Oct 11 at 0641, talk and presumably Kurdish
music, Dengê Welat via BULGARIA; with fast SAH and weaker CCI,
presumably Tuerkiyeish jammer. Or vice versa. Ivo says D.W. switches
from 7285 to 11775 at 0530, but unclear total span of each (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 11 at 0625, no signal from VON direct. At 1809,
no signal either into Canary SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Oct 11 at 0629, this WRMI is back on, S9+10 with SMTV,
the Supreme Masteress herself cut off at 0630 for Andean fill tune on
quena and guitar. VG modulation; and splatter seems to be fixed, for
now?

9395, Oct 11 at 0629, this S9+10 WRMI, briefly R. Tirana opening
German, the long-standing automation mixup at end of 0600 English
half-hour, originally only on 7730 which is supposed to be back on,
but low-power and hardly audible. Then at 0631 it too plays the quena
tune like 9455, but without two receivers going, I can`t be sure
whether synchronized or separate playouts. I think there was a WRMI ID
first at 0630 from one or both. By 0634 both have gone to a male
soloist, sounds like hymn, in unknown language. However, now 9395 has
become way undermodulated while 9455 remains VG. Strangeness.

Latest from WRMI on FB circa 1930 Oct 11: ``Here is today's update on
hurricane restoration work here at WRMI. We don't have any more
frequencies back on the air today, but we did finish most of the
repair work on our line truck so that we can hopefully continue
repairing the transmission lines in the antenna field tomorrow. Our
next target is 15770 kHz to Europe (also heard in the Middle East and
North Africa). If all goes well, we could have this back on the air by
the end of this week or early next week. Meanwhile, our partners at
Pan American Broadcasting in California, which places programming on
all of our WRMI frequencies, told us they are doing "somersaults of
joy" as we get more and more frequencies back on the air! (See photos
below of our Pan American colleagues Robin Boggs and Elizabeth
Dubach.)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 11 at 0625 weakly audible still on this
fundamental. Did not manage to be awake after 0700 for 11835 check
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15232.3 USB, Oct 11 at 1453, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish, lots of numbers, maybe kilos of drugs, one of them chirping
at cambios; at S9, INTRUDERS are not bothered by RHC on 15230, only
S7/S9 and just barely modulated. Nor am I. One of them may be closer
to 15232.4, as I try to tune for `normal` voices (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
