** CUBA. 5025, Jan 19 at 0727, S9+10 of dead air from R. Rebelde; all
RHC frequencies are off. It seems lately they have not been kept going
after 0700. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other Side:

READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW January 18, 2023 EMIGRATION

Those who left... are no longer building Cuba --- More than a quarter
of a million Cubans abandoned the island last year, and the vast
majority were young people, many of them highly educated.
RAFAELA CRUZ |La Habana --- Ruins in Havana. (Diario de Cuba)
[caption]

A simple walk through Havana — at the risk of twisting an ankle in a
hole in the sidewalk, or a skull fracture from a falling shard from a
balcony — is enough to appreciate the state of the country's physical
capital: its streets, factories and machines are crumbling, from
poverty. Cuba is falling apart.

But Cuba is also moving apart too, as if pieces of the island were
breaking off to float to more fertile shores, with more than a quarter
of a million Cubans leaving the island last year, the vast majority
young people from an aging country, and many highly educated, seeking
to blossom far from the people whose efforts paid for their studies...

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 19 at 0729, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati,
again the only 9/kHz split detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Thu Jan 19 after 1600 UT, KUCO-FM with weekly
`Spotlite on the Arts` at its traditional time, interviews about
upcoming OKC performances, Kimberly Powell and guest about Mozart`s
Requiem this weekend. SOTA continues to be unshown on KUCO program
schedule, rather `Performance Today` M-F during this hour. I was
wondering what happened to it. Website also has nothing new about its
content. Jeff Hagy, new GM had been hosting it. For years before, it
was a remote from the OKC Museum of Art but apparently not any more.
Not necessarily for full hour, depending on number of guests, then
back to music (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U A E. 9840.106, Jan 19 at 0324, way off-frequency carrier with
flutter, S4/S6, maybe trace of music. Vietnam comes to mind as a
traditional skewed frequency, but EiBi & Aoki show that not on
``9840`` until 1000-2400. At this hour 0300-0500, it has to be BBC in
Arabic to ME via Al-Dhabbiya (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9395 // 9455 // 4980, Jan 19 at 0328, Ted is preaching
during `WRMI Legends` on three frequencies at once; skedgrid shows
9395 added 03-04 UT M-F only. This thing is creeping later, also
reported 05-06 on 15770 instead of scheduled Israel Radio, which
presumably came via WRN as scheduled daily that hour. So much for a
rare temporary chance to hear KAN on SW; however, midnite propagation
on 15 MHz is problematic, and the other frequency 7730 remains
imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Jan 19 at 0724, JBA carrier from R. Vanuatu, and a
slightly stronger one on 11835. Manuel Méndez and Ron Howard report it
was on 3945 plus harmonics before 0700 instead of 7260; probably due
to tropical cyclone Irene warnings, and Ron says open carriers from
all three were still on at 1526 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1470.028 approx., Jan 19 at 0734 UT, het upon 1470
stations. Nothing nearby in MWOffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
