READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW October 25, 2023 INFLATION Diaz-Canel lies like a rug It is totally impossible that international inflation, at almost 9%, is responsible for the more than 1,000% inflation suffered by Cubans since 2022. Díaz-Canel is lying. RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1698080625_50559.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 26 at 0508, another try to detect R. Kiribati into Oahu SDR: nothing audible or visible on the H2Ofall, but SAM claims to lock on to an 846 varying plus/minus 4 Hz. Could it really be on but very QRP? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2214) ** OKLAHOMA. 275 MCW kHz, Oct 26 at 0331 UT, GUY, 25-watt ND beacon at GUYmon. Seldom heard this distant Okie, last logged Feb 3, 2022. So JBA at first 0316 that it seemed MSY or MUY; the last dot of G, --. not very prominent.

Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Oct 26 at 0225 UT, on the E/W longwire into NRD-545: Tnx to Canadians Richard Langley and Peter Laws for leading me to the manual instruxions on 9/10 kHz but it is too complicated to change its tuning steps, unlike simply on the R75, so this is not a thorough bandscan, rather picking several likely frequencies to punch individually 1 kHz below in USB to hear a 1 kHz het = carrier; not in the order tuned over the next few minutes: 531-2, 576-2, 595**, 621, 639-2, 684, 711-NOT, 774, 801, 855-2, 882, 891, 999, 1107-2, 1305-2, 1422, 1539. Likely mostly Algeria, Spain. **595 rather than 594 strongly implies the off-frequency SNRT Oujda, MOROCCO, 50 kW per mwlist, altho supposedly off air at 01-04. Later at 0320-0328 UT Oct 26 on the R75 with E/W Wellbrook loop: 531, 549*, 576-2, 639, 657, 684*, 693, 702, 711-NOT, 738, 747, 774-2, 837, 855*, 882, 891, 963!=3 kHz from 960 local, 999, 1026, 1044, 1089, 1107-3, 1116, 1125, 1296, 1413, 1476, 1512; 1710=TIS or pirate? *strongest. -3 = more than 2 carriers beating. 963! most likely would be 100 kW from Tunisia per mwlist. There are also 50 kW or more on Cyprus, Iran, Sudan, Mozambique; nothing significant in Europe. DXers in the Atlantic Northeast were getting plenty of TA modulation on MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2214) This report dispatched at 0158 UT October 27
