** CUBA. 6000, Aug 28 at 0627, S9+40/45 of dead air from RHC,
supposedly English frequency usually useless if on earlier.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. But 5025, R. Rebelde is still
modulating. The Other Side:
``DDC Today: In Cuba, the mask is falling off
READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 20, 2024 OPINION Between its loss of control, the military's disconnection from the
rest of the apparatus, and runaway corruption, it is increasingly
difficult for Castroism to conceal its decomposition.
RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana
Image of Fidel Castro in a wet newspaper. (Diario de Cuba) The greatest nightmare of any totalitarian regime is a loss of
control, something already evident in Cuba, now like a boat adrift
"without a rudder or a captain." The national currency, once one of the cornerstones of state control,
today gores salaries and pensions with inflationary impiety while an
impotent Government watches the bull from the stands, knowing that it
is powerless to deal with a tumultuous foreign exchange market in the
hands of traitorous frontmen. These actors, fattened ticks managing "private" companies with access
to infrastructure "owned by the whole people," but that only enrich
them, reveal themselves to be untouchable by the Government,
conspiring and profiting by speculating against the peso. There is no
honor among thieves...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Wed Aug 28 at 2201, NO signal direct in token English
from SNR; 17715 is VP S8/S9 for S America, unusable, like 15520 for ME
off the back; and 15390 for Africa is still OFF too. However at 2204 I
get a JBA carrier on 17855 much weaker than 17715, maybe RNE.
Propagation seems OK, e.g. music on 17880 which would be CRI Beijing
site in Spanish. At 2222 I try UTwente: 17855.002- is JBA also weaker
there than 17715.012 S7/S8. 15520.000 S7/S9 and 15390 off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.005, Aug 28 at 2159, VOT not off the air with IS,
2200+ timesignal 2 or 3 sex later than WWVH, s/on as if the 1230 on
17620. Something`s always awry at Ankara. But this time direct
reception is sufficient, S9+20/30, unusually unlike simulSPAIN q.v. on
any of its remaining frequencies. But by 2221 for convenience I`m on
UTwente when measured, S9+35/40 with music. 2225 multi-lingual ID
filler reel. 2227 music. 2232 `The Middle East & Turkey` penned by an
expert in international relations, about development of T`s own fighter
jet called Khan [sp?]. 2238 music. 2242.5 `Sports Panorama`. 2249
``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2250 song. 2253 s/off ignoring SW, IS
chopped after a few notes by 2254*, no finesse. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2257 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday

join in progress Scriptures for America Worldwide; I had been standing
by since 0055 for it to show. Recheck 0325, already off. Earlier in
afteve, still nosigs on 9930, 9475, 5920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Aug 28 at 0620, WRMI back in Spanish presumed RFI
relay as not scheduled, instead of fill music last night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Aug 28 at 1510, NO signal direct from WBCQ with WLCR,
what`s wrong? 500 kW ought to provide at least a JBA carrier even in
worst propagation. At 1650 zero signal into UTwente where it`s aimed,
57 degrees in HFCC; but blasting into Maryland SDR. At 2204 direct,
JBA much weaker than 9350 WWCR blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9970-9990, Aug 28 at 2210 direct, noise field surrounds
extremely strong 9980 WWCR with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 780, Aug 28 at 0640 UT, WBBM ``Newsradio 105.9`` with
`Stardate`, 2-minute feature from McDonald Observatory, TX. Maybe a
regular spot. We normally catch it at 1704 UT M-F on KANU=KPR webcast,
or 1800v on KUCO; or daily 1730v on ``QXFM`` TX webcast. Many more
chances, and lots of stations run it more than once a day:
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates
but I`m afraid much of that is outdated or wrong. There is no ``KCOU``
91.1 in Enid! This time not shown for WBBM. Better check each
station`s linked website, but some ignore a mere 2-minute item, if
they deign to provide anything resembling a plain old program
schedule. Stardate really pushes people to ``subscribe`` for a price,
but one may read the latest script and then link to some previous ones
