Cuba Hit With Nationwide Power Outage
« on: September 10, 2025, 1507 UTC »

Perhaps it would be simpler to announce when the lights are on.  I have been hearing RHC in the 1500 utc hour recently but nothing on 11760, nor 15140, at the moment.

Re: Cuba Hit With Nationwide Power Outage? Still heard their 1620kHz.

Oh... On the drive home, last night, 0200 UTC, I thought that I still heard Cuba on 1620kHz, battling it out with Pensa Cola, FL's 1620AM. Being Medium Wave, they may have been on emergency generators. My Espanol totally sucks, so if they were announcing the power outage, then damned if I was able to understand that.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
