``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. . .``

``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``

Bill Tilford, IN, replies: ``Or is said Egyptian tycoon secretly

** U S A. 15150, July 18 at 0645, WMLK gone again, not even a JBA
carrier, while there are various weak signals on 19m and WRMI remains
S9+ in Spanish on 15770. 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:}

``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,

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)

** CHINA. 16100, July 17 at 2211, Chinese at S5/S7; also JBA on 15920;
and at 2216, JBA carrier on 18965, weaker one on 18985. All of which
likely attributable to CNR1 jamming vs Sound of Hope. I`ve heard the
two 18s before but neither in EiBi nor Aoki, rather 18970. They do
agree on 16100 & 15920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

S9+10/20 direct, preview report about some festival; 2201.5 news
starting with calls for media transparency to perfect democracy in

some, negotiations with UKQOGBANI. Then interview with Daniela about a
theatrical festival, July 4-28, but I can`t catch the name of it, like
Armando? Other three frequencies on and audible; none missing lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 11785.019, July 17 at 2200 NO signal direct from VOT
English; while 11800 ROMANIA is quite audible. Nor at further chex
2202, 2243 when not measurable. Didn`t even try UTwente. At 2202 also
nothing on possible/previous alternates 11795, 9875. How about
transposing to 11875? At 2213 there is a JBA signal there: EiBi shows
that would be AWR Vietnamese via Madagascar. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, July 17 at 0642, tuning across World`s Last Chance
Radio via WBCQ, another flat-earth lesson. Guy is explaining how there
can`t be any satellites orbiting, because, well, the earth is flat!
Most satellite dishes, he says, are not pointing straight up, after
all, and are really picking up terrestrial signals. With a straight
face?! Of course, many satellites in geosynchronous orbits are closer
to the horizon. And they could only be ``straight up`` from an
equatorial angle, duh. Is Allan Weiner, a ``man of science``, secretly
snickering at his benefactors stemming from an Egyptian cosmetics
tycoon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1650.42 & 1649.58 approx., July 17 at 0654 UT, there it
is again, somestation with a tone of ~420 Hz astride other 1650
signals, mainly KCNZ Iowa.

Earlier reports, probably on mwoffsets list:

[May 21:] Hi from the South Pacific, Last evening (1000 UTC today) I
observed something I've not noticed before. The 1650 AM North American
stations were suffering QRM on both upper and lower sideband from
spurs on 1649.5795 and 1650.4165 kHz, causing a heterodyne whine on
the channel. See attached screenshot. Centre point for these is
1649.998, so perhaps KFOX or CINA have a transmitter or transmission
issue? Coincidentally I note CINA was first reported in NZ last month by
colleagues on a DXpedition, so perhaps I am 'hearing' evidence of them
for the first time?! Is their anyone who hears CINA regularly that can
check this possibility out for me? 73 Bryan Clark, Mangawhai,
Northland, New Zealand``

``Hello, Bryan. From Masset, I had a look at my overnight captures.
First noted on May 19th and continues now (1000 UT). Best heard when I
use my ALA 1530 aimed 310/130 deg. Not heard on unterminated N
Beverage. Also heard well on my 110 deg DKAZ. Measuring approximately
1649.579 and 1650.416. Last night not heard at 0458 TOH capture, but
clearly there at 0558. Wonder who might it be? 73 from above the
Arctic Circle off the Norwegian coast, Walt Salmaniw``

``May 22 #41381, Hi Bryan, Very interesting indeed, here is what I
seen early this morning with my antenna pointing to the west from
Austin, Texas with Jaguar pro, it appears the signal started at 0500z
and gone by 1200z per my screen view. When I checked on my antenna to
the south, there was very little showing, so, maybe KFOX?? Thoughts??
James Niven, Austin, Texas``

And Walt Salmaniw, BC, replies today July 17: ``Checked my overnight
captures, Glenn. The tones came on at 0500:18 and off at 1200:15. The
late 1200 encompasses all of Asia and the Pacific, Alaska, BC, western
US states, most of central and western Mexico, and the southern bit of
South America. The 0500 hour is too early to be from the Pacific and
Asia. Perhaps this narrows things down a bit for the search of the
culprit. 73, Walt``

I hear it so easily and steadily that I really doubt it be from
outside N America. Apparently no one has tried to DF it; I shall try,
if there be enough signal into the DX-398 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
