** U S A. 17680, after yesterday`s surprise appearance of R. Martí at 1939, checking earlier in the day March 12, not on before 1700, but on by 1744 recheck, probably from 1700, VG S9+15/25 signal into UTwente. It`s Spanish but all about Ukrussia rather than Cuba, first playing satirical folk?song in Ukrainian or Russian with Putin in the lyrix. 1746 RM 1180 ID. 1747 phone interview about topic A. 1755 VOA sounder and USG editorial, in Spanish, about you-know-what. 1800 contact info on social nets, email, and `Abriendo Espacios` show opening, half an hour about ``Cuban women`` but also really about Ukrussia, and lasts until 1842 IDs again. UTwente is getting nothing but carriers at best from 11860, 11930, 13820, as to be expected aimed at Cuba; checking Maryland remote, again totally non-// programming to 17680. Meanwhile a source at Grimesland says it`s a new service to reach Cubans fighting for Russia in Ukraine -- volunteers, or convicts? -- as if they had time or inclination to listen to RM! 250 kW at 45 degrees. Further listening to 17680 is nothing but topic-A in Spanish. 1849 repeating the VOA editorial. Interviewing native-Spanish speaking Ukrainians, 1857 a profesora Tatiana in Odesa; 2030 Anastasia Schmidt? from Mikolaiv, with some accent. At 1856 had mentioned podcasts, and that may be source of this audio, accounting for no breaks at top-of-hours as to be expected on a `live` broadcast. Would not be surprised at considerable repetition from hour to hour or day to day, but would have to listen a lot more to determine that. 2034 a very dramatic poem with music. 2036 discusses pronunciation of names correctly in Ukrainian versions rather than Russian. 2043 the stirring Ukrainian national anthem, not in Spanish. 2045 interview of Russlan -- enumerating Russian losses in the war. 2100 VOA Yankee Doodle Dandy s/ON, played twice, by mistake, pause, then 2102 VOA YDD s/OFF and off*. So 17-21 UT daily? Or temporarily (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) In case you haven`t seen it, my original report about this yesterday: ** U S A. 17680, March 11 at 1939, S9+20/25 surprise signal in Spanish, nothing in latest HFCC March 8. I was seeking some music to nap by, maybe 17600 Algeria, till I hit this; medical discussion, then 1942, about IWD and Ukraine with a song, apparent program title `Abriendo Espacios`. What could this be. Unsounds like RHC which presumably supports Putin but no //s on to check, not even 15140 English. Not // Spain on 17715. VOA? Deleted SW Spanish years ago. Not // R. Martí 13820, 11930, 11860 --- BUT at 1947 ID as ``Martinoticias AM 1180 y onda corta``. So it is Grimesland! I recheck on another receiver the lower Martí frequencies and they are // each other but NOT this, altho subject is also Ukraine. Maybe same but far out of synch, not merely a few seconds. How could that happen? 17680 off before next check 2201. Maybe a test. If permanentized could obscure NZ 17675, not even noticed today. Also, I occasionally check 35790 for 3 x 11930 which made it to Alberta, but mostly not even a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
