Living between "light-ups": the consequences of the electricity system
disaster for Cubans --- 'There's no chicken in Santiago de Cuba,'
complains a mother of three. 'The MSMEs were the ones that had it,
despite the price cap, but they rotted, due to the blackouts'
Laura Sarmiento Pérez, Santiago de Cuba 19 Nov 2024 - 20:06 CET

A line to buy gas in Santiago de Cuba. Diario de Cuba [caption]

Santiago de Cuba residents have to make the most of the few hours of
electricity they have. In general, the collapse of the National
Electroenergetic System (SEN) keeps the entire island in a state of
aggravated anxiety due to the lack of credibility of statements issued
by the country's leaders.

For the people of Santiago, it is crucial to make the most of the
scheduled "light-ups," which range from four to six hours a day.

"I don't understand why, if Hurricane Rafael passed through the west,
electricity goes out all across country," says Abel, a retired English
teacher. "When Oscar hit Guantánamo, the SEN didn't fail. Obviously,
the system is not well balanced. It is shit. Like everything that
remains in Cuba, it's broken. They should just leave us with the
sunlight, because every day we use less electricity. "...``

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 20 at 2256, the NAm frequency of REE is OFF
again! No signal direct nor into Maryland SDR. Something`s notright at
Noblejas. 17715 on, 17755 still off; and 12030 backwards for ME is
sufficient, S8/9+10. Preview about an exhibition inside a ship in
Madrid. 2302 news leading with child poverty high in Spain. 2307
`Titanic` song, exhib until Jan 5 is immersive experience, as if
inside that ship, interview about. Really too much of their token
English is devoted to exhibitions rather than more important current

Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.016-, Nov 20 at 2256, VOT not off the air, only S9+5

checking these out for George who says the xmtr readings are going
haywire. A few minutes later, back on and back to normal, TOMBS with
big clear signal on 9930 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7489.938, Nov 20 tuning WBCQ in early before WOR, music
during Pirate Joe`s `Extravaganzo`, but at 2159 closing he mentions
WHVW-FM and WBCQ. So I guess it`s WHVW(AM) only that is out of
service. It was on 950, while there is no WHVW-FM in WTFDA FMDB.
Instead it`s a mere translator as per NRC AM Log, W243EI on 96.5, Hyde

This is JP Ferraro`s station; had been simulcasting on WBCQ 7490 as

** CHINA. 7430.068 approx., Nov 18 at 2317, strangely strong S9+30
Khmer direct; it`s CRI via Nanning site, 100 kW at 200 degrees. Must
be grayline shortpath if not longpath. 2354 checking Hanoi SDR when
measured once calibration adjusted against 10000, rather weak until

** TURKEY [and non]. 9610, Sun Nov 18 at 2130, JBA signal into

** U S A. 790, Nov 17 at 0733 UT, two mentions of ``wsbw.com``
apparent station promo. In NRC AM Log, must have been WSGW, which is
U4 5/1 kW from Saginaw MI. Radio-locator shows day & night patterns
both have lobe to the southwest; but address in Tempe AZ, rather
inconvenient. Perhaps they found local address as in NRC AM Log too
daunting: 1795 Tittabawassee Rd, 48604-9431. ``Like many place names

music afterwards to 0430*.

Not confirmed Saturday November 16 at 0930 on WRMI 9455, which remains
off the air. But someone suggested that 9455 programming may be
appearing on 7730 instead. So I asked the WOR iog: ``WOR on which WRMI
at 0930? Scheduled on 9455 but has been off the air. One report that
some of that programming has been moved to 7730. If awake and not
inconvenient, would someones please check if World of Radio airs then
on either frequency? Thanks, Glenn`` and got two contradictory
replies:

At 0935, Chris Mackerell, New Zealand: ``9455 off-air, 7730 sounds
like SMTV. No WOR to be heard. Cheers, Chris``

But Ron Howard, California, at 0940: ``Glenn, Nov 16 (Sat.) heard
7730, with non-stop music 0926-0930 UT; at 0930, start of WOR of
#2269; weaker QRM underneath in Chinese (CNR1 jamming?); WRMI much
stronger via remote SDR in Vermont. 9455 kHz was a clear frequency.
Ron, San Francisco, CA``

I happened to awaken at 0930 and heard nothing direct but Chinese on
7730 - that would be jamming vs SOH per EiBi. Yet Ron was hearing WOR
-- so that leaves me still wondering. A possible explanation, however
unlikely, would be that WRMI was running two transmitters at same time
on 7730 with different programming, widely divergent azimuths,
deliberately or by mistake? Per grid, SMTV is supposedly only on 9395
at the 09-10 hour. 7730 supposedly with TOMBS at least on weekends.
Glenn.

Confirmed Saturday November 16 at 1547 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany,

** U S A. 5920, Nov 16 at 0728, huge S9+45/50 direct with soft
instrumental hymns; and still at next awaken 0933. Obviously WTWW-1
has been prolonged way late, but not with TOMBS, which is all it
usually carries earlier in evening, and daytimes on 9930. A test? I`ve
asked George what`s going on with this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 7490 -50 Hz = 7489.950, UT Sat Nov 16 at 0052,
pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, this one still S5/S7 offset less than
usual, with FKB. And with ACI from 7495 not evitable even by LSB
tuning, i.e. VOA R. Ashna via Kuwait until 0100. 3265+ and 5130- not
on air into NH SDR, nor later mid-hour check direct. 6160 with TOMBS
-71 Hz = 6159.929, S8/9+10. Tried the 7490 stream but not working. So
I switch to Maryland SDR on 7490, where it`s S9/+10. After FKB,
deadair, Chariots of Fire music bit, canned ID thrice, more DA,
finally JIP Wm Tell Overture theme. Allan remarks over/under music,
``things much better``. Then refers to ``Elon Musk, our hero``, just
like last week, so a repeat? No, this seems live when it`s clear that
the MAGAtts will control all branches of government. More delusional
gloating for sure, so I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. RF 18, virtual 62-5, Nov 16 at 1615 UT, I`m checking for
SCRIPPS NEWS [ex-NEWSY], via KOPX Ion OKC -- at first it`s black and
silent, then upcomes IONplus, not same as IONplain on 62-1. There were
press reports that Scripps was about to abandon over-the-air channels
for streaming:

``Scripps cutting 200+ jobs, shutting down Scripps News channel
91.7 WVXU | By John Kiesewetter Published October 2, 2024 at 12:39 PM
EDT

Saying that “the prospects for the necessary revenue growth haven’t
materialized,” Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Co. is pulling the plug
on its national 24/7 Scripps News broadcast channel based in Atlanta
and eliminating more than 200 jobs.

Adam Symson, Scripps president and CEO, told staffers Friday that the
national broadcast programming — seen here on WCPO-TV’s Channel 9.6 —
would end Nov. 15.

However, “it will remain on streaming and digital platforms with
weekday live coverage from the field” and a “core reporting team,
based primarily in Washington, D.C., will serve Scripps’ local
stations’ news operations with national and international journalism,”
Symson said in a staff email...``

Seems it has now just happened. I was hoping it would provide truly
unbiased news coverage, unlike NewsNation which claims to be (Glenn

Replies on the WTFDA iogroup:
``Hi Glen-and-All: I am also sorry to see Scripps-News quit what they
were doing. I heard some of their hosts say good-bye yesterday. I am
not sure what KILM 64.1 is running, but I think it`s some
entertainment or series. I am listening on this stream of Scripps.
Mostly just packaged reports.

I did aircheck them when they were Newsy at a beginning of War in
Ukraine, also grabbed DNC-and-RNC coverage, as well as Election night
for 25 hours, and a June 27 Debate. Obviously if you want any of
these, please write off-list. Chime Hart``

``After seeing your email I checked and it's ION now. Which dupes ION
that's on another station here in Quad-Cities Iowa-Illinois. But this
week coming up there are major changes coming as one station which is
actually licensed to Burlington IA but had has a hopping transmitter
before moving to the Orion IL TX site becomes the flagship for 3.0 and
a bunch of subchannels gets moved around. I have warned people that
they may need to hunt for their favorites till things get settled
down. Michael Scheel``

``If you have a Roku, download their app. I'm watching it now. Mike
Bugaj, CT`` --- ``Well Mike, I just looked around their ROKU app, it
seems they are not running live newscasts. I know they've been saying
on-air "Scripps-News is moving to your favorite streaming service" but
they were already available. It`s also too bad their youtube channel
doesn't have many longform events. Chime`` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
