I thought Ciego meant blind man, and so does Google translate, but: ``People also ask, ¿Por qué se llama Ciego de Ávila? La más aceptada hoy explica que es fruto de la combinación de dos términos: uno geográfico: ciego, nombre que recibe el claro dentro de un área boscosa, y el otro el apellido del primer conquistador español que recibió la merced del hato en 1538, nombrado este Jácome de Ávila.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also UNIDENTIFIED: 889, 891 ** CUBA. 5025, August 15 at 0636, for third night in a row, R.

It seems the NCS has several specific texts with exactly same wording, calling for check-ins with callsigns from affected areas. Or calling for low power or portable stations. Even mentions SW listeners! Welcomes both measured observations and not. 0618 mentions Hurricane Ernesto. Day channel 14325 [USB] will activate at 7:30 am EDT = 1130 UT. This NCS has been N8NIF. More info at HWN.org Then around 0630 two others discuss who will take over: W1ABW, WF4H. Very few of the checkins audible here, just the NCSes.

I did hear 5920 come up about 0101 or 0102, tho George was allowing 3 minutes to make the change. Finally at 2015 I notice 9930 is on the air, but VP signal into the ATS-909 vs noise level. Comes up stronger by 2017: maybe power is being turned up, or prop vagaries. 9475 is even poorer. At 2025 into PEI SDR, 9930 is S6, 9475 is JBA S5. How do their azimuths and lobes compare?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) WTWW: see also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] ** U S A. Just heard from George McClintock, 1720 UT Tuesday August 20: one of the WTWW transmitters failed, and awaiting part to be shipped in from Germany. In the meantime, only on the air is 9930 with Brother Stair. But not yet on air today. Evidently all 9475/5085 programming is suspended including World of Radio until it`s fixed. Indeed at 2211 check, 9930 is on with TOMBS // 9980 WWCR but not synchronized, and 9475 is off. How about 5920 after 0100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9930, Aug 20 at 2329, this WTWW with TOMBS is off already, tho had been on earlier at 2211. Now NO WTWW frequencies are on air; nor after 0100 does 5920 appear. George McClintock sends me this the morning of Aug 21: ``WTWW: SW100 belts --- Glenn, The SW100 Harris #3 transmitter lost 2 drive belts that allow control of the IPA and plate motors. Spares were replaced and are now working fine. The last SW100 problem is the error light that stays on preventing the high voltage from being applied. I have not been able to correct this problem YET.`` {with photos} {2 minutes later:} ``The IPA driver and the plate tune motor belts being replaced. Not an easy job. George McClintock 8-21-2024`` Circa 1830 Aug 21 he needs me to monitor as he attempts to bring transmitter up on 9930; may not be getting accurate frequency readouts. I get a big blob of extreme distortion circa 9790-9795, confirmed as WTWW when he cuts modulation momentarily. Correlates with a JBA carrier on 9475 when he is trying to come up there. Something is very wrong with this other transmitter. But at 2130 he notifies me that he did get ``5`` to come up, presumably 5085, so WOR could appear as scheduled UT Saturday at 0300; but no telling what more might happen in meantime. He says the other transmitter will be out for maybe two weeks awaiting manufacture and shipment of replacement part from Germany. Meanwhile he has built a backup studio at the site. Another check about 2230 and 2355: no signals on 5085, 5920, 9475 or 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5010, Aug 15 at 0636, this WRMI is off, but 9955 is still on in RFI Spanish; usually the two run late on the same nights but with different programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, August 19 at 0622, WRMI is off again, no RFI Spanish, as happens only on Mondays. Totally inconsistent with skedgrid for Systems B & E. 5010 is also off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 16 from 2350, into NH SDR: no signal on 3265, but waterfall shows some kind of noise blob 3239-3269, at 2354 jumping down to 3217-3242. 5130 no signal, so we expect a rerun. 6160 -71 Hz = 6159.929 music presumably TOMBS. 7490 -72 Hz = 7489.928, S9+10 with FKB. I keep listening to 7490-, 2359 1-minute-tone-warning and he wraps up quickly, then some `Chariots of Fire` music and WBCQ ID. Aug 17 from 0000, WTO theme and AW talks about ``messing up the airwaves``, which is how he opened last week, see that report and never mind now. 3265 & 5130 still off. Sometimes reruns are disclaimed as such before playback but can`t depend on that, nonesuch this time. I let it run in background and at 0024 notice that there is again OTH radar clickery QRM unavoidably audible, and visible on waterfall covering 7472-7494; one might suspect ``jamming`` or at least some op with no respect for WBCQ. Continues rest of hour, into Hal Turner after 0100.
