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.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
