EMIGRATION Cuba: the country of broken families
The industry uses the suffering of Cuban families as a bargaining
chip. In many cases, they rupture. In the best ones, they are
separated for many years.
YOAN MIGUEL GONZÁLEZ PIEDRA | Holguín
A senior in Havana's Central Park. (Diario de Cuba)

Sandra, a 31-year-old Holguin mother, is struggling tremendously to
care for her two children, alone, because her husband has recently
left the country. Doybel, her eldest son, is 11 years old, and Lesly
is just two. Alexey, her spouse, is another young Cuban father who is
in Mexico "waiting for his turn on the application to enter the United
States," she explains....``

** FRANCE. Here`s the identity of my Sept 17 unIDRM circa 7415:

``[WOR] TDF in DRM Mode --- Here in NB, noted TDF with a DRM
transmission in French today (20 September) on 7415 kHz tuning in at
0135 UT. Wasn't getting much audio initially but improved continuously
to almost constant audio before the transmitter left the air abruptly
at 0157. Didn't hear an ID so not sure of source of audio. There was
also a line of text transmitted: "Diffusion DRM assurée par
l'opérateur TDF".

Also subsequently found them in DRM with French on 6015 kHz at 0220 UT
but with little audio decoding and transmitter off shortly before
0230. What I heard sort of sounded like a domestic program rather than
RFI but couldn't be sure. Same text line decoded. Is there any regular
schedule of these TDF transmissions? -- Richard Langley``

``Hi Richard, As far as I can find there is no published schedule of
these transmissions. Some have been registered in HFCC in the past,
but not this lot. If anyone has a reliable source of information on
these I'd like to know so I can keep the schedule used by KiwiSDRs
updated. At the moment I'm just going on what people are logging at
random, and deleting the entries when no-one has reported it for a
while. I really think this should be something the DRM Consortium
could be doing rather than publishing the largely fictional schedule
on their website. Cheers, Chris`` Mackerell, NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WORLD OF RADIO 2209)

** OKLAHOMA. Sept 21 around 18 UT, OG&E crew spotted at work nearby:
they are replacing an electric pole for some reason, but they say the
transformer atop is not a new one. I thought maybe this was finally in
response to my line noise complaint, and it does seem to have
diminished somewhat, but still very buzzy as I approach the pole later
with my DX-398 on MW and SW. It had also been a noise peak area
driving by on caradio. They blamed a new cable TV provider installing
on their poles (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2208 monitoring: confirmed now thrice in a
row on WRMI: UT Thursday September 21 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG

Also confirmed UT Thursday September 21 at new time of 0100 on WRMI
9955, S9 into Maryland SDR with no jamming audible. `Circuit Rider`

** U S A [and non]. WRMI 9955 schedule: since I was not hearing any
jamming vs WORLD OF RADIO at 0100 UT Thu Sept 21, I took a look at the
System B skedgrid to see just when jamming would now be ``necessary``
--- and see NO obviously Cuban exile programs on it any more. There
used to be a weeknightly strip at 6 or 7 pm ET, Radio Libertad, was
it? Gone. Maybe for a while, as not included on the outdated Aoki
entries for 9955. Of course the Cubans will still jam any ex-exile
frequency for years to come, at least sporadically; I recently noticed
poor Brother Scare late at night getting pulse-jammed. What about the
Programming page? No exile programs there either. What happened to
them? At least there is still Radio República on RMI via France 9490

band for 11510, but once jammer caught up, into the cat-and-mouse
jumparound. No other significant signals now below 11600 such as
11510. Later 11540 confirmed as I see this Sept 20 on the WOR iog:
"Dengê Gel has started using alternate frequencies to avoid the
Turkish jammer. Noted today at 0640 on 11540, with Erdogan speech on
11520. When Pridnestrovye was used in the past, signal strength here
in the U.K. was much stronger. Probably still via Tashkent. Alan
Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K." (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Sept 20 cuts on late at *1500.5, VOMK in
unreadable English, S6/S9+10; by 1503 changed to the YL in presumed
Dhivehi. Propagation degraded so not as strong as usual, but more than
one could expect from Uzbekistan site rather than Australia. Which is
continuing to be a matter of controversy; another possibility is that
more than one site may be in use on different days.

Subject: [WOR] RRI - Degraded Propagation and Transmitter Problem?
Radio Romania International today (19 September) on 11975 kHz at 20:30 UTC 
in English in DRM mode received here in NB wasn't sufficiently strong for 
KiwiSDR receiver to decode audio. And the signal on 13650 kHz was completely 
missing for Spanish in DRM mode when checked at 21:45 UTC. Transmitter 
problem?

Conditions were bad last night and some paths were very poor.
I could barely hear RRI 11620 last night. They should move the 0000 bcst to 
their lower inactive parallel: 9550
