The Other Side: ``Shortages Cuba: the old relationship between rationing and totalitarianism At the root of rationing in Cuba is the system's productive incapacity and its control over its people. Dimas Castellanos, La Habana, 22 Abr 2024 - 21:22 CEST On Monday, April 15, Cuba's Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a message asking the faithful to pray for "mothers who are struggling to feed their children," and stated that "our dear homeland is going through very difficult times," recognizing that "Cubans are suffering, crying, and lack the essentials." The issue brings us back to the "supply" book, a government euphemism for its rationing of basic groceries. Since only what is produced can be distributed, since the implementation of rationing the quantity and quality of the items regulated have been dwindling, and delivery times have increased. When rationing was first implemented, Cubans received beef, chicken, oil, butter, condensed milk, toilet paper, coffee, rice, grain, and industrial products, thanks to Soviet subsidies. Currently the monthly distribution consists of seven pounds of rice (3.2 kilograms), four pounds of sugar, half a liter of soybean oil, a pack of 115 grams of "mixed coffee" (coffee with peas does not qualify as coffee, according to the International Coffee Organization, when the mixture is more than 5%; in Cuba it is 50%), five eggs, ten ounces of beans, and one pound of chicken...`` https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1713813730_54318.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 5980-5985-5990, Apr 21 at 0206, S9+30 of DRM noise.

Also confirmed UT Saturday April 20 from just before 0400 on WTWW 5085, S9+20 into Peoria SDR. Also confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1450 the 1430 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, 6160.001, S9+5 into UTwente, no QRM. Also confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1730 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, into Utwente, 3975.001, S9/+5 and 6160.000, S9+10. Also confirmed Saturday April 20 after 1930 on WRN North America webcast and WRMI webcast only. Also confirmed Saturday April 20 at 1951 the 1930v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, about 4 minutes into, so started late about 1947. Regarding WOR on WRMI Sundays at 1030 UT: in B-season this had been at 1130 on 9955; first A-season sked moved it to 1030, and onto internet only, 9955 not picking up until 1100. But now, as Wolfgang Bueschel outpoints, the System B sked shows internet-only at 04-11 UT EXCEPT weekends when 9955 supposedly stays on. On Saturday April 20 I happened to awaken just after 1000 UT and indeed found 9955 on, S9+10 direct vs pulse jamming, but not with Frecuencia al Día in Spanish as on sked, rather gospel huxter in English, sounds like TOMBS. So still need to confirm what happen Sunday at 1030. If 9955 really permanesce all night, there would be lots of unspecified WRN programming at 04-10 except RFI in Spanish at 05-06. WRN website still shows old B23 sked from which one UT hour needs to be deducted: https://www.encompass.tv/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Encompass_WRN_North-America_B23.pdf But version abottom this page had manually? made the changes: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iDCSyjigmOz7KnnCJ5vU1e0iexexyaUO/view as Alexander Miatlikov outpoints.

Also confirmed UT Sunday April 21 at 0330 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, 4 minutes into, so started about 0326. S9+18/15 into nearby MO SDR with lots of storm crashes, tho main lightning line is as far away as MS. Here`s the truth about the alleged 1030 UT Sunday airing of WOR on WRMI 9955: April 21 I record a sample at 1031-1032 -- WRMI is on, but it`s TOMBS!!!! The Overcomer Ministry Brother Scare.

WORLD OF RADIO 2239 monitoring: confirmed Sunday April 21 from 2000.7 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.995 kHz (not 918 nor 207), S9+5 into UTwente. There is very light CCI, sounds Qur`anish, or maybe just SWAsianish? Presumably the one Iran station on 1323, but trying 3 of the Kuwait SDRs, they are not getting it at this hour. Tanzania 1323 is inactive. The only other European is Romania`s minority service, which can certainly QRM us, but unlikely Asianic nor on air this late; in Hungarian, German, et al.? 1323: WRTH print 2024 on page 592 has Akash Radio, Leeds, Leeds, UK, but it has been removed from online mwlist. It was only 30 watts. But could it be the CCI? Website still refers to DAB, 1323, even if defunct there, as traditional identity. Seems it`s primarily Punjabi: https://akashradioleeds.co.uk/about-us/ Would it do Qur`an? Maybe, Wikipedia: ``Today the majority of Pakistani Punjabis follow Islam with a small Christian minority, and less Sikh and Hindu populations, while the majority of Indian Punjabis are either Sikhs or Hindus with a Muslim minority. Punjab is also the birthplace of Sikhism and the movement Ahmadiyya.`` WOR 2239 also confirmed Sunday April 21 at 2135 the 2130 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6159.994, S7/S8 and fading down into UTwente but with RTTY ACI from plus side unless bandwidth reduced below 8 kHz. Also on better 3975.001, S9/+10. Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+5/15 into Querétaro SDR, let it play in background but noticed at 0053 has dumped to music fill, maybe a bit earlier! Later I recheck the WOR file sent to WRMI and find nothing wrong with it - like a long pause which could have tripped a silence-sensor, if any. I hope this is not happening to any other WRMI airings. Also confirmed UT Monday April 22 from 0301.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.930, S9+20/10 into Georgia SDR with high storm noise level off the SE USA coast.

WORLD OF RADIO 2239 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Tuesday April 23 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, as monitored direct and much better via Qro. SDR. Our biweek of limbo is over. WOR was removed from this timeslot on the skedgrid but continued to air on April 9 & 16, instead of another of the ~three dozen weekly repeats of Wavescan --- but this is not Wavescan, either! All music, from a live concert with an applause break? No announcements unless something missed at the very beginning. Sounds sorta Israeli, maybe Passover special? No outro either, 0359 canned ID and 0400 over to TOMBS. Confirmed Tuesday April 23 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S7/S8 direct atop audible jamming. Seems like CCI from another? Per EiBi and Aoki, nothing else ever on 9955; BTW, Aoki attempts to show all? WRMI programming in time order. This time I make sure it plays past 1323 unlike earlier on 7780; yes, past the Vanuatu anthem. There are also noise bursts exactly every bisecond, must be some new nearby device as also detectable on other frequencies.
