** CUBA. 9700, UT Sun Dec 12 at 0735, RHC English S9+30 here while all other frequencies are off, music show. RHC does feature some good music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY. Advance publicity that AM Italia, 918 kHz would also be broadcasting on LW 207 kHz on Dec 12 to mark the 120th anniversary of Marconi`s trans-Atlantic transmission from Cornwall to Newfoundland. 207 would run 1 kW into a 350-meter wire antenna. Via Noale SDR near Villa Estense, Dec 12 at 0618 UT, traces of a carrier on 207 kHz, while on 918 I hear some tones, and Italian narration about the historical event. S, ... in CW over and over again at 0624. Maybe this is a loop. 0625 brief announcement about this in English, offering QSL. And repeat the Italian. At 0628 on 207 sounds like the same thing, but very poor unreadable there with hashy QRM, and then fast CW QRM, maybe image on that SDR. Some Europeans could hear 207 with difficulty, and the same was also reported on 918; and 1323 kHz, which is not listed in WRTH 2021 as anywhere in Italy. The loop may continue thruout Dec 12 and into Dec 13 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, Dec 12 at 0253, soft jazz at S7-S9. 0257 ID by YL as ``--- Radio``.

HFU indicates usuals 6925 Coastal Rock R, 6920 R. Pushka but nothing on 6885 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 11940, Dec 12 at 1552, no signal from REE frequency for S America, which ought to be detectable, since 11670 for Africa is, as well as 12030 ME, 9690 NAm, but all VP with silly ballgame (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

(5085), UT Sun Dec 12 at 0103, WTWW-2 webcast with `Theater Organ Under the Arch`, TOUTA underway with Xmasmx in $ tereo. Usually starts considerably before 0100v. This hour conflicts with `Encore` classical music on WRMI 5850, so will have to be sure to catch that on next repeat UT Monday 0300 on 5950, when best reception will be needed via a remote; no webcast to hear that in $ tereo.
