** CUBA. 4765, June 26 at 0148, no signal from R. Progreso, but 5025,
R. Rebelde is on. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other
Side:

``Covert castigation: violations of the right to health in Cuban
prisons ---
While ordinary prisoners' health is compromised by 'indifference and
indolence, political prisoners are victims' of 'systematic attacks' on
their health through conditions of isolation, and illnesses, explains
Juan Carlos González Leyva.
Raúl Medina Orama, Lima, 25 Jun 2024 - 18:01 CEST

Magalis González turns on the camera on her cell phone to post her
umpteenth complaint on social media about the health of her son,
Ismael Rodríguez González. The young man, sentenced to seven years in
prison in Cuba for the massive protests in July 2021 (11-J) lies near
her, dazed and with swollen feet, after arriving from the Guanajay
Penitentiary, west of Havana, where he is serving his sentence...``

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 11610, June 25 at 1830, VOA Amharic this hour
via Woofferton UK is being jammed by buzzing and beeping noises, but
at UTwente, that`s underneath VOA. Tnx to tip from Paul Walker. At
1840, no jamming audible into TWR Kenya remote. By 1915 when language
is Oromo, jamming level is heavier as heard by UTwente. Why would
Ethiopia be so concerned about VOA? Of course the Amharix and Oromos
don`t get along. Recorded sample of jamming right after VOA went off
at 1929; maybe will put into WOR 2249 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 105.1, June 25 at 2322, KOSB Perry is MONO, not shown as
such in WTFDA FMDB. ``Triple Play Sports`` also on AM 1020 & 1580. And
running a commercial for ``University of Maryland, Global Campus``, of
all things, in OSU territory.

However, at 2030 check June 26, 105.1 is OFF, likely another victim of
last night`s windstorm / powerlines down. And at 2043, I notice that
its AM companion, 1020 KOKP is also off! Maybe we can hear KDKA again
tonight if not RVC Roswell. Third 3-play outlet, 1580 KOKB Blackwell
is still ON. I thought they operated out of Stillwater but NRC AM Log
shows Ponca City address for 1020 & 1580, the latter being close to
PC. Trying to check whether 105.1 and 1020 are at same site, but FCC
AM Query can`t find KOKP! As if it have been deleted. LMS can, but not
the page with coordinates. All three are licensed until 2029y.

Since the WTFDA FM DB editors apparently don`t pay attention to my
reports, I have notified them directly about this mono and others
confirmed this year by monitoring: in OK: KIEL 89.3, KFXI 92.1, KOSU
91.7 =50/50; KS: KCVW 94.3; TX: KTCK 96.7; Mexico: XHMYL 92.1. And
just now at 2030 June 26, I notice two more monos: KHEV 90.3, Fairview
OK; and 100.9, K265FL, Enid, talkradio translator tail wagging the dog
of 960 KGWA. KQCV 95.1 Shawnee is another Bott station, likely to be
mono too? Yes! at 2308 fadeups vs KICT Wichita which is $ tereo, the
100/100 kW KQCV signal is definitely mono.

95.3, the KOKC translator in OKC, K237GE, is in $ tereo, talk station
might as well be mono for slightly more effective coverage. Would you
believe that the WTFDA FMDB shows its antenna height as 0 meters
HAAT?? It must really be way up on some TV tower to reach as far as
Enid reliably with 250 watts. FCC FM Query also shows 0 m HAAT, but
658 m AMSL and 314 m AGL, with a link to Calculate HAAT: that
``results`` in 302 m -- that`s 990 feet. If our LP CP on 95.1 come on,
will put an end to it around here (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 15, June 26 circa 1500 and still at 2359 UT, NO signal
from KTBO ``14``, Trinity in OKC. Must have been blown off air by huge
hurricane-force straight winds/not tornadic storm hitting OKC area
late last night, many power lines down in addition to building
damages. KTBO also missing from Optimum cable ch 3 in Enid: unlikely
to have relied on off-air pickup, so TBN damage may be more than just
transmitter/antenna. All other OKC TV signals back to `normal` levels
except RF 29 KTUZ, weakened but still sufficient. Nothing recent on
KTBO website, let alone any damage report!

God got`em, but not the secular competitors.

KFOR, KOCO, KWTV and KOKH all went full-storm coverage pre-empting at
least late-night network shows. CBS Colbert, a rerun anyway, could be
found on shunt station KSBI ``52`` on RF 23. No doubt each station`s
website has much about the storm; damage repair expected to take quite
some time. Thousands of customers are without power as temps exceed
100. Enid was missed by this but eastern part of Garfield County also
had outages, as well as many other counties eastward and southward
