** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat July 8 from 1806 tune-in, S9 peaks
audible via Brasília and one of the Arg SDRs: LRA36 with CW ID, 1807
spoken s/on, multilingual IDs, 1808 opening recitation ``Pasaporte``,
1810 ``Uniendo Voces`` live? program with guests. 1814 about this
being relayed by an FM station in Catamarca, and which apparently
produced a segment to be run later. As usual, absolutely no signal
audible direct, not even a JBA RC. Despite good remote reception, not
monitored further as we`re off on a DXpedition to investigate KEUC.
Returned by 2106, no signal on any of those remotes, off already
despite nominal Saturday sked of 18-23 UT. Manuel Méndez, Spain caught
them direct, coming on air much earlier at *1714, presumably a musical
prélude. The other broadcasts scheduled are now Mon & Fri at
1300-1500, a bit too early for our convenience (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, July 8 at 0619, JBM vs transmitted S8/S9 noise, can`t
tell language, no doubt RHC again where something`s always wrong, and
blocking Romania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 13740, July 8 at 0623, S8/9+10 African language must be
Hausa, talking about Ukraine as sked from RFI Issoudun until 0630, and
0625 RFI ID quickly in French; much stronger than usual, but similar
sig on 13695 in French, the SSOBs; At 0637 still an unexplained JBA
carrier on 13740 unless it be the RFI exciter, to resume at 0700
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.1, July 8 at 0627, unID pirate for third late
night in a row, but uncopiable vs high storm noise level = HSNL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2198 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday July 8 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, sufficient direct into DX-398
and modulation seems OK.
Confirmed Sat July 8 at 1600 on WRN N America webcast.

** U S A. 91.5, July 8 at 0121 & 0140 UT, my next rechex on caradio
*still* find open carrier/dead air, i.e. from KSNS, Medicine Lodge,
KS, see my previous report: I bet it`s been dead thruout the 5 hours
since 2044! Instead of ignorance and inattention by station staff, it
could also be that a person on duty at station collapsed or worse. IF
they have any local listeners, might call 911 and/or get the police to
make a welfare check. BTW, this OC/DA is in mono; I had not noticed
whether it were in $ tereo when modulative.
With the proliferation of Part 15 very low-power RF feeders in cars,
sometimes left on with no input, one must be careful not to take one
of these nearby for a genuine FM station. So I have made certain 91.5
OC/DA remains audible as I drive around Enid, and even on my jaunt out
to Ringwood, July 8 between 1850 and 2100 UT to investigate KEUC;
details in next report --- yes, KSNS *still2* silent some 24 hours
after first noted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2227 UT July 8
