** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat July 1 at 1803, zero signal direct
from LRA36, but at 1807, S5/S7 into best Argentine SDR, music; 1827
after pause, CW ID starting with LRA36, then voice ID, and
multi-lingual RAE ID reel. Manuel Méndez, Spain had got confirmation
from station it would be on air today, unlike previous Wed and Sat.
But I`m distracted by John Adams` ``Nixon in China``, this week`s
opera on KUCO. At 1911, LRA36 peaking S9+10 with tango, ¿Gardel? By
2000 peaking only S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, July 1 at 1513, S9/+10 of dead air and still at 1524
from RHC. What about the only other scheduled midday frequency, 15140?
At 1517 it`s S6/S7 with Spanish undermodulation cutting on and off, a
great improvement! Wiggle that patchcord. Somethings` always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** IRELAND. 8957 USB, July 1 at 0557, JBA VOLMET in YL voice, synth?
It`s Shannon, 24 hours here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, July 1 at 0554, weak VOLMET. Auckland is
scheduled starting at :50 and :20 past every hour, per EiBi. 8828 is
timeshared with Tokyo at :10 and :40, Hongkong at :15 and :45. If each
be 5 minutes max, that leaves open :00 & :30, :05 & :35, :25 & :55
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, Saturday July 1 at 0600, NZ news, VG
S9/+10, new for July? But still on 11725 //, S9+10/20. No, current
websked shows 11725 only. Presumably test as normally they never run
both transmitters at same time in AM. 9700 is sked elsewhen in AM,
1651-1958 except Sats. By 0602, there is SAH from another carrier on
9700. That would be RRI in German. There could be a 3-way collision if
RHC happened to be here, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, KUCO FM, our classical station, keeps
jumbling its programming around; will it ever settle down?
https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/
I was getting into `Performance Today` which they picked up a couple
months ago, but now it`s gone again, replaced by local origination
without explanation. Of course we can still hear PT via
https://www.yourclassical.org/performance-today
or on some other webcasting station. Huge listing here but each must
be confirmed:

Long-running `The Score` from Portland, filmusic, has just been
replaced on KUCO by `Reel Music` another cinematic co-produced by KBAQ
Phœnix and WDAV Davidson NC, Fri 19-20 & Sat 16-17 UT. KUCO says due
to unexpected price hike by The Score. We can still get that from HQ
station KQAC both Sat & Sun at 21-22 UT. Brit EdmUnd Stone has a more
erudite style. Reel guy Matt Rogers inserts drive-in movie promos,
like go get food and drink, but the music is still VG. This `Reel
Music` is as yet unknown? to publicradiofan.com. An ``eclectic`` show
of same name is listed for WETS in TN, but unfound on its own
schedule. PRF shows it on only one different station, KMUC in MO,
Fridays at 19-20 UT. It is still sked there on KMUC, HD2 subsidiary of
KBIA Columbia.
See: https://kbaq.org/reelmusic
Same time as KQAC on Sat at 21-22 is yet another cinemusic show, `Film
At Five` on WCLV. It used to be repeated 7 hours later = 05 UT in
winter but no more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UQKOGBANI. 11253 USB, July 1 at 0615, VOLMET by YL voice, synth?
EiBi shows this is RAF from site ic which means ``one of: Inskip
(Lancashire) 53N50-02W50 / St. Eval (Cornwall) 50N29-05W00 / Crimond
(Aberdeenshire) 57N37-01W53`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, July 1 at 1520, S7/S9 dead air or maybe trace of mod,
from WRMI- , S American service of ``Radio Africa`` as forced by
circumstance of continued loss of eastward antenna, ``Pan American
Broadcasting`` is axually PanAm instead of PanAf. Something`s odd at
Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
