** CUBA. 5025, 5040, 10050, 10080, Dec 20 at 0719, no fundamentals or
harmonix to be heard now. Something`s always wrong at RHC, RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, Dec 20 at 2224 amid supposedly scheduled and
occasionally partially appearing English hour, NO signal now.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 20 at 2133, no signal of R. Cairo, English
into UTwente. Something`s always amiss at Abis. If and when resumed,
shall be elevated to egregious. Replying to my Dec 16 report: ``The Radio Cairo "humbuzz" consists of a 50 Hz tone and harmonics. On
16 December, at least, the 50-Hz, 100-Hz, and 300-Hz tones were
typically dominant (see attached Audacity spectrum plot). Using
multiple notch filters on a recorded audio file at just these three
audio frequencies resulted in improved audio to the point that a
discussion could actually be followed although it was tiresome. Still
egregious. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUATEMALA [non]. Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine --- In honor of the
martyred GM of La Voz de Atitlán, 2390 kHz, off the air for many

town of Okarche beyond the opposite NW corner of OKC. There is also
some memorial to him there. This has additional significance if not
approval from me, since on my trip to Guatemala I took the boat across
Lake Atitlán and saw the building of LVA, by then shuttered (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Tue Dec 20 at 0732, JBA TP carrier from R.
Kiribati; also six other splits presumed TA: see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. Too many typos in this item last report, as in too
big a hurry to finish, missed proofreading. Replace as corrected: 6950 USB, Dec 19 at 2354, S7/S9 of pirate music, Xmassy? The OSOB =
only station on band. 2356 misc. noises; 2359 song, no ID circa ToH;
Dec 20 at 0005 SSTV beepery but very repetitive unlike the usual but
the standard end-of-picture beeps at the 0009 end: then followed by a
voice ID but so ``produced`` it`s unreadable. Many reports here of

with several previous SSTVs but this one was a cartoon drawing of T.C.
himself. Nothing more for a while and tuneout as evidently signed off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Dec 20 at 2221, S9/+10 of dead air. Got to be REE

S9+10/20 and fully Spanishly modulated; 11940 to SAm is S9/+10 with
flutter; and no signal at all on 11685 to Africa, presumed off.

manages to make it to air today during news in English, VG S9+30/35
into UTwente; clear until CCCCCCI modulation from EAST TURKISTAN hits
at 2310, well under but quite an annoyance and growing; 2311 `Review
of the Turkish Press`; 2314-2326 `Weekly Commentary`, about Turkey
rising as an alternative energy source. 2327-2329 some recipe, title

presumably just signed on as scheduled. See previous report, WTWW has
already reactivated 5085. And Dave Zantow notes at 0249 UT: ``Glenn, I see the on line WRMI schedule grid now shows 5085 Khz

Guess we will see what happens on Dec 22 UT Thursday on 5085 Khz? Ted

retune it to the ex #1 frequency 9475. Glenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 9455, Dec 20 at 0722, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9955
are VG; the 7s? At 0726, all 3 are on with TOM as BS refers to ``next

English at S9+20/30; and at 1633 check too. 9329.80 approx., Dec 20 at
