** CUBA. 11850, June 14 at 0215, RHC back here ex-11840, ex-11850, ex-11840, etc., but S9+10/20 of dead air; flanked by the JBA parasitic spur carriers on 11840 & 11860. 0446 recheck still on with suptorted modulation and the spurs. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, June 14 at 0216, RHC humbuzz over music, presumably Spanish service at this hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KASHMIR [non]. Alfredo Cotroneo of IRRS writes me June 14:
``Hi Glenn, These broadcasts to Africa have now been ended by requests of the sponsoring organisation.
However, we have a new broadcast on 15170 each Tuesday from 1500-1530 beamed to Kashmir. Any reception report will be welcome, and we will pass it on to the broadcaster for answer according to our privacy policy (GDPR applies to EU citizens) at https://nexus.org/privacy-policy/ We will also issue our own QSL card, but we have a huge backlog, so anyone please bear with us. Bests. Alfredo``
Tuesday only at 1500-1530 on 15170 is the HFCC registered one with 300 kW at 79 degrees from ``Milano``, while the Ugandan ones were allegedly at 149 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA [non]. 9890, Radio Yoruba, 19-24 UT via Woofferton UK:
At 1958 UT June 13, Alan Pennington posted to BDXC-UK iog:
``There were a few tweets on Twitter last week about a test transmission Sun 6 June 2100-2200 on 9890 (or 98.90 kHz) with the tag #Yorubaradio e.g.
"We are now ready for the test transmission. It will take place this Sunday 6th June and will run from 2100-2200 UTC. The frequency of the transmission will be 9890 kHz and this is the frequency we would aim to use for the full broadcast. #YorubaRadio." (Yoruba Nation on Twitter June 5) This must be the same station on 9890 at the moment (1945 UTC). 73, Alan``
With a jpg attached, which I have transcribed into text:
``RADIO YORUBA 98.90 KHZ [sic] BROUGHT TO YOU BY: WHITE LION [emoji]
Comrade Olayomi Koiki
#Radio_Yoruba to be launched on 6/6/2021
Thanks to Comrade Olayomi Koiki
(AKA #White_Lion) 98.90 KHz
He made this possible. Now the gospel of Yoruba Nation liberation would continue to be preached for all to accept the message and bear us witness that Yoruba Nation must be free.

``God bless Oloye Sunday Igboho for volunteering himself to lead us out of this fraudulent contraption called Liegeria
God bless Yoruba Nation``.

I was wondering if any of the broadcast would be in English? I am not
listening to Yoruba hour after hour, but at 2322 check, 9890 is being
narrated in heavily accented English plus music background. Via
UTwente. At 2358 anthem? 2359 brief talk and music, off 2359.5* The
signal direct had been JBA (gh)
Some earlier discussion of this on the WOR iog:
``9890 June 12 2155 UNKNOWN ENGLAND in Yoruba (?). Does anyone already have name information or who is the broadcast going to? Very good signal here. 250 kW information and 170° azimuth. (Jorge Freitas-B) https://youtu.be/O8xdCXpMu08

``Thanks, Ron. Will listen out for them today. The desire of independence for Yorubaland is not dissimilar to that of the Igbos in Biafraland. Like many former British colonies, different ethnic groupings of people (some with long-standing animosities) were forced together to make a "new" country. Richard B. Langley``
``Hi Richard, Funny you should mention Biafra, as yesterday in London, they held a joint Yoruba/Biafra rally. Is a very active time for them!

``Thanks, Ron. And we remember that the Igbos had some clandestine transmissions not so long ago including Radio Biafra: https://shortwavearchive.com/archive/radio-biafra. You probably have similar recordings.
And a decent signal into the U. Twente SDR receiver. At 1945, noted mentions of Yoruba and snippets of the Yoruba National Anthem.

And later, UT June 14:
``I only listened to it in the Yoruba language. The signal here for me is good.

Eric Fetters-Walp: ``I've been listening off and on since 2100 UT, when I could clearly detect a signal on 9890 out west here in Lake Stevens, Washington state, but only bits of audio every few moments. Starting around 2335, the audio has faded in enough to be consistently audible (music now as of 2340). The talking's no longer in English, however; back to presumed Yoruba`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
