** UKRAINE [non]. (7730), catching up on `Ukraine: Security Issue`
from web instead of WRMI at 0500: for Aug 17, day 173? accented
fast-talking OM. Russia lost more than 44K personnel. Crimea turned
into military base, lots of explosions by Ukrainian
counter-offensives, ``de-militarization of peninsula``. More bridges
destroyed in Kherson region. Relatives reported disappeared. Abducted
a journalist, fate unknown. Russia fires up to 800x a day on Ukrainian
targets. Few Russians want to fight in Ukraine, so ``recruiting`` in
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and trained on Chechnya.

For Aug 16, Day 174, by accented YL, including: railway connexions
suspended in southern Ukraine; explosions in Crimea, now military base
instead of tourist destination; could take a sesquimonth to liberate
part of Kherson region. Russia actively using Belarusian territory for
attax on Ukraine. 24 Aug is Ukraine`s independence day when increased
shelling is expected; be prepared for air raid sirens. Russia launched
more than 22,000 strikes of which only 300 landed on military
facilities. Kremlin enjoying keeping the world in tension. More danger
at Zap. nuclear plant. Only an ``iron curtain`` can save us from
Russia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WBCQ/WLCR, very QRP? Or propagation? WRMI is not degraded. Note: when
setting up a SW station in the US, it`s far more advantageous to put
it as far *south* as possible than north. WWV e-mail for 1500 is
missing, so I axually listen at 1718, but she is still quoting the
1200 report too! instead of 1500, which was:

** U S A. 930, Aug 18 at 0606 UT, music station, ``102.7, the ---``
mixing with sports WKY OKC. Since it`s only on paper, I hunt thru all
51 stations on 930 in the new NRC AM Log, and find the only one with a
102.7 FM connexion is: WFAT Battle Creek MI, U4 5/1 kW, `The Fat One`
pretending to be an FM station only, yet with nothing but a
translator, W274AQ, CLR = classic rock format. At radio-locator, night
pattern shows a null notch thisaway to the SW, favoring the north,
probably to protect WTAD Quincy IL not WKY; day pattern not so
notched.

Reverse lookup of all 102.7 stations in the WTFDA FMDB agrees the only
930 relay match is WFAT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Aug 18 at 0603 UT, soft rock atop KWKH sports

that much. 15520 for ME is however S8/9+10 into UTwente, VG S7/S9 into

surely CNR1 *jammer against the only other SOH frequency, as in Aoki:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW August 16, 2022 OPINION
The Fire in Matanzas: Going Out, or Just Beginning?

Accepting that the litany of disasters that Cuba is enduring is a
result of chance would mean letting Díaz-Canel off the hook, when, in
reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a country towards
its ruin. RAFAELA CRUZ | La Habana [caption:]
Fuel tanks burned in the Matanzas fire. (H. López/Facebook)

A plane crashes with 113 people on board; a tornado wipes out hundreds
of homes, many of which would have survived if they had not been in
such precarious condition; a balcony collapses, killing three girls; a
hotel explodes, taking 47 lives; energy generation plants fail daily,
and one of its most important facilities burns down; and, in Matanzas,
the worst fire in Cuban history frightens everyone.

Not holding Díaz-Canel responsible for this state of affairs would
mean accepting that this series of disasters is a question of chance,
when, in reality, it is a symptom of a failed system dragging a
country towards collapse.

It was not really lightning that set fire to the Matanzas Supertanker
Base, but rather the failure of its safety systems; probably because,
like everything else in Cuba, they are in dreadful condition due to a
lack of maintenance and technological obsolescence.

While there is no proof of this, we know that of the 2,606 megawatts
(MW) that the Energy Revolution should generate, in 2021 745 MW were
out of service due to a lack of maintenance, and another 497 MW were
about to be due to equipment exceeding their operating cycle. If this
is how they treat the commander's last "feat," what can we expect
regarding the maintenance of everything else? ...``
