** BRAZIL. Re another missing SW station: ``Glenn, for Rádio Nove de Julho: A check of the Brasília Kiwi SDR around 1345 UT May 28 has no signal on 9819.

** CUBA. 9700, May 28 at 0332, RHC Spanish, S9+20/30, starting `Retratos de Jazz` - that word strangely pronounced, attempting to sound like English as it is totally unSpanish. Not found on any other frequency in 6, 9 or 11 MHz bands, 15 unchecked; just 6000 English. Tony Pavick has been reporting 9700 since May 23. At 0300 he recorded announced frequencies as 9700 and also 9535, 9710. Not on 9710 and surely never at same time as 9700. Probably off by 0400. On May 24 he had 9700 as early as 0156. May 25: 0200-0417*. Or as he summarized in NASWA Flashsheet: ``9700 R HABANA CUBA, 0156 to 0420, 22 May, SPANISH. Logged over three nights 23 May: Noisy but listenable music Gone by 0400 24 May: Noted as early as 0156. Similar to previous day. Off sometime after 0400 25 May: good signal on 9700 from 0200 forward on UT 25 May. Easily as good at that on 11760 at times. Some really great music. News at 0400 and then during a correspondent report, carrier cut at 0417 mid-sentence. All in Spanish, as previously reported (Pavick-BC)`` Was there no sign of RRI in Spanish at 0200-0300 on 9700? And Algeria is supposed to take over 9700 from 0300, // 9500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, May 28 at 1945, NO signals direct from RHC`s first English hour of the day. Not much but USsigs on 19m: 15555, 15770, 15825; but close enough to RHC. The Other Side: ``Cubadata: Only 3% of Cubans surveyed consider themselves 'staunchly socialist' -- In July the independent survey firm will present the full results of its second panel, dubbed "Exploring Possible Futures".

Cubadata Only 3% of residents on the island surveyed by Cubadata consider themselves "staunchly socialist," while a majority, 85.9%, believe that Cuba should change its model towards a more open one. These are just two findings drawn from a large amount of data that will be released by the "Exploring Possible Futures" panel, which the independent survey firm will make public in July. The numbers are the result of six surveys carried out between September 2023 and February 2024 in which 10,248 people from all over the island participated, 4,552 being panelists; that is, individuals who were asked each month...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1716483439_54966.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. 11960, May 28 at 0330, S9+10/20 music, and AWR Voice of Hope IDs in English, French, German, Italian; 0331 ``following program in Oromo``.

Re: 1160 kHz... ``Glenn, would this not be KCTO in Cleveland, MO, ("Hosanna Radio Network")??`` - Greg Hardison, CA Greg, Tnx for the idea. I disregarded KCTO because NRC AM Log calls it ``La Mega`` = not religious. No hits on Hosanna Radio Network - where did you get that? There is a Hosanna Broadcasting Network which seems to be all about TV in English. However, Radio-locator.com says KCTO is Radio Maria - link to that website has a map of affiliates all over world, but not in the KCTO area. Have not found a program sked. Glenn ``A medium-mistranslation on my part. MW-List has it as "Hosanna Christian Network" (organized religion tends to muddle my brain, hi!). Somehow I have always perceived KCTO as a Spanish/Religious outlet; perhaps from an earlier SDReception from K.C., or a DX report from someone, sometime. Still, as with the possibilities you listed, I can't really see it being anyone else. Hmmmmm....
