** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, July 5 18/21 UT, I neglected to check
this Wednesday for LRA36, and have seen no other reports of it; here
is why, via Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain:
``15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel new schedule.
According with a whatsapp from the station here is the LRA 36 new
schedule: Mondays and Fridays from 1300 to 1500 UTC, Saturdays from
1800 to 2300 UTC. Mondays and Fridays they probably will issue the new
program "Ecos de la Antártida" and Saturdays the current program
"Uniendo Voces"`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2198)
** CUBA. 9700, July 6 at 0621, RHC with huge humwhine atop talk mod in
Spanish rather than English, only frequency still on air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2198) The Other
Side:
``Cuba is a failed state, and there are at least 14 signs
demonstrating it ---
Before 1959 the economy was among Latin America′s best, with per
capita income higher than that of several European countries. Under
Communism, it became parasitic, and cannot even survive without
foreign subsidies.
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones Los Ángeles 05 Jul 2023 - 21:32 CEST
A few days ago I saw a photo of a group of people in front of the High
Court in London. They had turned out to support the lawsuit against
the Castro regime for its debt of 72 million euros. They carried a
large sign that read: "Cuba is a failed state."
True! This is one of the most powerful and patriotic flags that Cubans
can fly today because, without a doubt, Cuba today is a failed
state...``

** VANUATU. 7260, July 6 at 0627, RV is back after missing a couple
nights, island music, 0631 drumming intro to public notices segment,
S9/+10 but storm noisy. Ron Howard has received a prompt eQSL
specifying power at 10 kW -- as we have suspected, quadrupled from
last known listings of 2.5:
``Thanks very much to Pradip Chandar Kundu (Agartala, Tripura, India),
via ADXR (July 2023), for the contact info! Sent off a reception
report, with audio file, to Robert Warren < robertw @ vbtc.vu > and
received the attached e-QSL in about two hours. Please notice the
power "10 Kw." He is the senior technical officer at VBTC. Very happy
to have their current QSL! Ron California``. They are staying on 7260
after 0700, contrary to sked from Spain claiming 3945 and harmonix
