** ANTARCTICA. Bruce Churchill comments on my not getting an LRA36
eQSL yet: ``Glenn, Sometimes the LRA-36 replies are within hours, but
in my experience, it`s more like several days to possibly a month or
so. But they will reply, and that’s more than I can say for most SW
stations these days ☹… Bruce``. And Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, says:
``The staff of LRA 36 are replying all the reception report received.
It will take them several days to answer all of them.
``From the second Saturday of August, LRA 36 probably will be on air
every Saturday, 15476 USB mode, repeating the Wednesday's program
"Corazón Antártico". It has to be decided if it will be on air the two
hours of the show "Corazón Antártico", or 24 hours, with the show and
music, like the last USB transmission. On Wednesday, July 29, there
will be no program, like the past July 15 and 22, due to announcer's
holiday. Next "Corazón Antártico" program will be on air on Wednesday
August 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Displays several antenna photos, also dog, motorcycle. Major if not

hets, and on to the 10m beaconband:
28231-CW, July 28 at 1425, dits and WA4FC/B; alternating between dits
seem to emit gridsquare, uncopied. Only one noticed but no time to dig
deeper; however, still there at 1502 recheck. WJ5O roster:

** U S A [and non]. 840 kHz, July 28 at 0400 & 0409 UT, WHAS
Louisville KY is still on. Earlier, Chris Gay tipped the WOR iog that
WHAS had announced it would go off the air at midnight - 0400 UT - for
antenna maintenance, duration unknown. I leave a radio on 840 and
around 0415 WHAS seems gone but others say it was 0417 or 0418 so it
may have been in a fade a bit before. Then listening closely I hear
some talk in Spanish, followed by mostly music. #1 suspect is CMHW
Santa Clara, CUBA. Considerable splash ACI as if from music, but
unseems from WCCO or KOA. When aimed N/S I get a fast SAH presumably
involving KVJY in the RGV, also Spanish format, but religion. Not
rechecked until 0631 when I still hear Spanish stronger; 0634 WHAS
cuts on about iHeart Radio for a few seconds, off again. *0637 WHAS
back on again, seemingly to stay, in `C2CAM` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
