``Cuba, Three Years After the 11-J Demonstrations --- Three years after the public protests of July 11, 2021, it is important to understand the significance of that day, and where we are now. Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 15 Jul 2024 - 19:35 CEST [caption:] A corner in El Vedado, and a problematic date for the Cuban authorities. Three years after the events of July 11, 2021 (11-J), it is important to realize what the significance of that day was, and where we are now. The import of the national uprising in 2021 is that it revealed that most of the population rejected a failed and repressive regime, and that the idea that the Cuban people were living happily was a fallacy manufactured and exported to the world. And the great lesson reiterated on that July 11 is that nothing can be secured from a dictatorship without standing up to it. . .`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1721064951_56026.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4750, July 18 at 0643, starting my 60m bandscan here, just as CODAR pauses for Morse Code ID, twice, too fast for me to copy, but has been IDed and fully discussed before.

Thanks this week to Tony Pavick, Hope BC, Canada, for a contribution via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com with a Note from Anthony Gerard Pavick: ``Hi Glenn, Been meaning to send a donation for weeks now. Finally getting around to it. Thanks for including tidbits from me in the show. Actually, you and I go back a way. I first discovered you back in the 1970s and contributed to a print journal you published. Then in the mid 70s I moved from Pennsylvania and my DXing came to a halt. In the 90s I picked it up again, and actually had a Philips DC-777 SW receiver in my car. It was a joy to listen to the BBC, R Moscow, R Luxembourg, etc. as I drove around Pennsylvania. But as we all know, things began to fade away to what they are today. Nonetheless, I am happy to be back at it, tracking down what there is as well as presenting Pop Shop Radio. Never dreamed as a kid that I'd someday be on shortwave`` One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A.

At 1738 July 18, 9275 is also gone again, zero sig into Maine SDR. Very unreliable; you never know whether will be on air or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2252) ** U S A. Following up on the 1650 kHz UNIDENTIFIED tone overnight: I`ve been listening on remotes from 0345 past 0500 UT July 18: only one Kiwi near LA, not in LA itself, useless. One San Diego NG, another good and also the Pahrump, NV one - both getting mixture of Korean from KFOX, and Spanish sports, i.e. El Paso, KSVE with TUDN network. At 0459, KFOX ID in English, ``AM 1650, southern California`s #1 Korean language radio station``, a few words of Korean, and 0500 the tone hits --- but the Spanish is gone and by 0505 am still hearing Korean. Then check the nearest remote to El Paso, T or C NM, and it`s getting ONLY the tone. That concludes it`s KSVE! There is also a SAH of about 2 Hz on the tone. BTW both licensed underpowered at night: KSVE 850 watts, KFOX 490 watts. At 0638 UT July 18 I DF it easily on the DX-398 as WSW/ENE. That fits for El Paso. Should have done that in the first place. Also note Vance says it`s a local signal for him, so sticking with KSVE. El Paso is also closer to Walt`s 130-degree bearing from BC, than KFOX or anything else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2252) {other recent posts on IRCA:} ``Glenn, Further to the posts re this originally on MWOffsets, the conclusion back in May was that KFOX was the source. I still hear the heterodyne beat occasionally when scanning across the X-Band down here in the South Pacific. Best 73, Bryan`` Clark, New Zealand ``Bryan, OK, that seems likely, but from mwoffsets it is not very clear how you and Tony finally confirmed that. Seems all circumstantial. Niven doesn`t get it from the south in TX; calculated 2 Hz low at center? but mwoffsets as of Jan had KFOX only 0.1 Hz low. Was there ever any kind of ID or local clue? Local quality signal in Los Angeles area? Triangulation? KFOX admits it when contacted? TDOA? Strange that everyone refers to them as spurs or het rather than a tone - at a certain pitch. BTW if it were modulating speech it would be in Korean. One might hear the transition at 05 or 12 UT. Glenn`` {The mwoffsets iog thread searching on KFOX:} ``1650 AM transmitter spurs KFOX confirmed as the culprit for these side carriers. By Tony Ward · #957 · May 23 1650 AM transmitter spurs KFOX confirmed as the culprit for these side carriers. By Bryan Clark · #956 · May 22 1650 AM transmitter spurs Probably KFOX has side carriers about there: Walter Salmaniw via groups.io kirjoitti 22.5.2024 klo 13.13: By Mauno_Ritola · #955 · May 22 1650 AM transmitter spurs Centre point for these is 1649.998, so perhaps KFOX or CINA have a transmitter of transmission issue? By Bryan Clark · #950 · May 21`` ``Searching on 1650 I also found: Someone near CINA ruled that out by offset. Another item from Niven, he was getting it aiming west. Walt`s 130 bearing is rough, not DFing by nulling 90 degrees off, and 130 hits the AZ/NM/CO/UT Four Corners - not too far from Denverish. 73, Glenn`` Re Tone on 1650 overnight, John Johnson, Jul 17 #41947: ``I’ve been trying to figure out the 1650 tone for many months now. It’s a daily thing. Pretty strong tone here. This morning 05:00 UTC the tone came on like you mentioned. At that time, I was also hearing KBJD and KSVE both with clear IDs. Then at 12:00 UTC similar, but this time KFOX was strong over the tone. KBJD, KSVE, and KFOX are all regulars into Phoenix, Arizona. Hopefully, someone can determine the station sending the tone. 73, John C. Johnson, Mesa, AZ 85212-2923, www.johninarizona.com, Perseus SDR, SDRplay RSPduo, Icom IC-R75, Wellbrook ALA 1530LNP`` John Johnson, 3:29pm #41962: ``Glenn, I heard KSVE with programming and ID and the tone comes up with them still there. I've heard KFOX, KSVE, and KBJD all while tone starts. Not any of those 3. 73, John`` Robert Vance, 10:55am #41958: ``Good Morning; This is what I'm getting now. I also tuned it with an SDRDuo in diversity mode and nothing else was heard on 1650 once I nulled it. I had presumed this to be local KSVE, without giving it a second thought. I hope this helps. 73's Robert Vance - El Paso, TX`` Robert Vance, 12:03pm #41959: ``As an update to what I posted earlier, at 1200Z, the tones were replaced by TuDN Radio programming. 73's Robert Vance, El Paso, TX`` Joseph Miller, 8:01am #41957: ``Thank you Glenn and John, From my location between LA and Palm Springs, I heard the tone at 7:10 utc sometimes over sometimes under KFOX in LA. I haven’t looked up the KSVE’s nighttime pattern but I suspect it may have a lobe to the west. (I can not get the patterns anymore from the FCC website :( ) Thanks again! 73 Joe Miller, Hemet CA`` It`s licensed as U1 = non-direxional day and night, like all US and Canadians on 1650. A few X-banders on the coasts get to be direxional - and Enid`s 1640 to SSE in order to blast into OKC, which makes it rarely heard in Europe or S Pacific, but should be enhanced into Latin America (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0122 UT July 19 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
