** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Nov 9 at 1449, LRA36 is on already

or Mali relay? No, registered as direct from Beijing site, 500 kW at
215 degrees for Asia. Traces of long/short path echo 0008 during brief
deep fades. Directly off the back would be 35 degrees thisaway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA 6000

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 10 at 0011, strange mixture here, RHC in Spanish,
and Chinese music, while 5990 CRI relay is missing. Double audio feed
into a Quivicán transmitter? RHC is the Mesa Redonda diversion // VP
11950, where there is *no* music mix. OR, CRI on wrong frequency,
QRMing RHC on same channel! I can`t detect any beat between them. I
would have guessed two different sites rather than listed both Q. 0020
CRI in Spanish too, `China en Chino`. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Nov 10 at 0011, RHC is OFF, when English should now be
appearing in B-season. 5025 Rebelde also off. By 0142, both are still
off but 4765 Progreso is on, vs CODAR swirshes. Something`s always

news of US elexions in American Samoa, another Pacifican, Guam? Never
mentioned in Mainland WTW elexion coverage. Adrian Sainsbury tells me
they are working on solving the China clash at least at 08-09.
Wolfgang Bueschel says there is another 13730 collision with Austria

Confirmed Wednesday Nov 9 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490v, S9/+10 direct --- a
tremendous improvement over 2100 UT timing during summery DST season
when JBA; also more and more darkness due to earlying sunsets.

NOT confirmed UT Thu Nov 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 & 9395, as ALL

WOR 2164 should be ready for download early UT Friday Nov 11 and if
back on the air, first broadcast at 0330 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

approaching Hurricane Nicole. Depending on damage and power, may start
coming back sometime Thursday once the storm has passed. Good luck!

now, no digidata. On a recent `AAAWWW`, Allan admitted he knew about
the clash, but did not acknowledge that Cuba was there first, for
years; per B22 Aoki, scheduled at 07 UT on days 1246 starting with
Sunday = Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri. In EiBi A22 while B22 is inaccessible, it`s
days 1357 starting with Monday: Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun. Sure would be nice if
the two would use the same enumeration. HFCC, which doesn`t cover
spies! matches Aoki. Also:

``You had surmised in a previous log WBCQ had perhaps lost the ability

** U S A. WRMI braces for another hurricane: On Facebook circa 0200 UT
Nov 9: ``WRMI Radio Miami International 2h · Dear WRMI Listeners and
Clients: Believe it or not, another hurricane, this one named Nicole,
is headed straight for our transmitter site in Okeechobee. It's
expected to hit tomorrow, Wednesday, November 9. We are expecting very
high winds and heavy rains. As you know, we just finished repairing
our transmission lines which were severely damaged by Hurricane Ian at
the end of September. So we hope that we won't have to repair them
again. But the situation appears very bad. We will likely have to shut
the station down sometime Wednesday afternoon until the storm moves
through the area, probably sometime on Thursday. However, we may have
a power outage and/or antenna and transmission line damage, so we
cannot say how long we will be off the air. If our Internet service
does not go down, we will continue our Internet stream at www.wrmi.net
Thank you for your good wishes, and we'll let you know what happens``

JBM/hum, during `Mailbag` with ``Ed Newman`` -- him being soft-spoken
would otherwise be pleasant, but not to cope with JBM! If RHC still
have two separate English hours alternating, this confirm that now
during evenings EST, Mbg appears within odd-numbered UT hours, as
expected in updated DX/SWL/Media Programs, rather than even-UT hours
during EDT. As for the isolated 1-hour Englishes at 20-21 and
