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.

** 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. This is a good time to extract all the OKs from

for own reference; some of which I have never heard; 25 watts u.o.s.

UNIDENTIFIED. 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)
