** BRAZIL [and non]. 11780, Sept 21 at 0210, RNA reactivated after missing about a week, during hyper-enthusiastic yelling as if in futebol, but it`s rather late and there are bits of birdlike SFX. VG into Maryland SDR, and no doubt would have also been if checked direct. Chopped off the air in progress at 0230* sharp; normally would run to 0300. Let the SDR run for a while squelched, but no return. And // 6180 is now off the air, clearing the way for La Voz Alegre, MWV Madagascar Spanish gospel huxter hour which has always been in collision. What next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2209)
** CUBA. 15140, Sept 20 at 1925, RHC English on BST-1 caradio, YL is muffled and soft-spoken, can`t follow her, 1928 OM is quite readable outroducing her as Alejandra García, and into sports. Also squeal on carrier. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side: READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW September 19, 2023 EMIGRATION Cuba: the country of broken families The industry uses the suffering of Cuban families as a bargaining chip. In many cases, they rupture. In the best ones, they are separated for many years. YOAN MIGUEL GONZÁLEZ PIEDRA | Holguín A senior in Havana's Central Park. (Diario de Cuba) Sandra, a 31-year-old Holguin mother, is struggling tremendously to care for her two children, alone, because her husband has recently left the country. Doybel, her eldest son, is 11 years old, and Lesly is just two. Alexey, her spouse, is another young Cuban father who is in Mexico "waiting for his turn on the application to enter the United States," she explains....`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1695048377_49822.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. Here`s the identity of my Sept 17 unIDRM circa 7415: ``[WOR] TDF in DRM Mode --- Here in NB, noted TDF with a DRM transmission in French today (20 September) on 7415 kHz tuning in at 0135 UT. Wasn't getting much audio initially but improved continuously to almost constant audio before the transmitter left the air abruptly at 0157. Didn't hear an ID so not sure of source of audio. There was also a line of text transmitted: "Diffusion DRM assurée par l'opérateur TDF". Also subsequently found them in DRM with French on 6015 kHz at 0220 UT but with little audio decoding and transmitter off shortly before 0230. What I heard sort of sounded like a domestic program rather than RFI but couldn't be sure. Same text line decoded. Is there any regular schedule of these TDF transmissions? -- Richard Langley`` ``Hi Richard, As far as I can find there is no published schedule of these transmissions. Some have been registered in HFCC in the past, but not this lot. If anyone has a reliable source of information on these I'd like to know so I can keep the schedule used by KiwiSDRs updated. At the moment I'm just going on what people are logging at random, and deleting the entries when no-one has reported it for a while. I really think this should be something the DRM Consortium could be doing rather than publishing the largely fictional schedule on their website. Cheers, Chris`` Mackerell, NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2209) ** OKLAHOMA. Sept 21 around 18 UT, OG&E crew spotted at work nearby: they are replacing an electric pole for some reason, but they say the transformer atop is not a new one. I thought maybe this was finally in response to my line noise complaint, and it does seem to have diminished somewhat, but still very buzzy as I approach the pole later with my DX-398 on MW and SW. It had also been a noise peak area driving by on caradio. They blamed a new cable TV provider installing on their poles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A.

WRMI 9955 schedule: since I was not hearing any jamming vs WORLD OF RADIO at 0100 UT Thu Sept 21, I took a look at the System B skedgrid to see just when jamming would now be ``necessary`` --- and see NO obviously Cuban exile programs on it any more. There used to be a weeknightly strip at 6 or 7 pm ET, Radio Libertad, was it? Gone. Maybe for a while, as not included on the outdated Aoki entries for 9955. Of course the Cubans will still jam any ex-exile frequency for years to come, at least sporadically; I recently noticed poor Brother Scare late at night getting pulse-jammed. What about the Programming page? No exile programs there either. What happened to them? At least there is still Radio República on RMI via France 9490 and jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2209) ** U S A.

Yes, per my Almanaque Mundial of 1987y, Vietnam of 329,556 sqkm vs New Mexico of 315,115 sqkm --- but TINY? Come on.
