** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-CUSB, Oct 10 at 1518, another sporadic
Saturday broadcast from LRA36, almost all chat in Spanish, S4-S7 to
Brasil SDR, brief music break at 1605 and ``Nacional`` ID at 1607;
still yak until 1640 with brief songs and canned ID (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

civilization beyond the 55th parallel.

328-MCW kHz, Oct 10 at 0621 UT, dash and YTL, NDB 1000 watts from Big

** OKLAHOMA. RF 19, Oct 10 from 1530 UT, again today zero DTV signal
from KAUT OKC ``43``, down for some reason. Nothing found about the
outage on website https://kfor.com/freedom-43/ --- who cares? It`s
still on cable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 15665, Oct 10 at *0200, RTI cuts on just in time for
special live coverage in English of National Day #109. Good signal via
S Korea SDR; Chinese language version was already running well on two
other 19mb frequencies. Hosted by informal W&M, saying national anthem
is to play right away at ``10:00 precisely``, but I don`t hear it.
Some of their comments seem scripted, others off-the-cuff describing
what is going on or translating portions of speeches. Of course
celebrating the greatness of Taiwan, not least the low rate of
COVID-19.

There is constant Chinese in the background, which in this case is
self-imposed QRM. It`s annoying to English speakers, and
Chinese-speakers would not get anything out of it either with English
constantly talking over it! At 0222, ``you are watching live coverage
on Radio Taiwan International`` --- oh yeah? this is a radio station,
and no less on shortwave. By 0250 the closing ceremony is starting,
when I go hunting on the RTI website for a video feed, and finally
find it as a thumbnail, finally2 figure out how to enlarge it. Audio
and video there are asynchronous, let alone with the SW feed, but
labeled ``Join 磊神 Leslie Liao and Natalie Tso 竺瑞娟 as they bring you
live coverage of the 109th National Day Celebrations in Taiwan!`` So
anyway get to see them at their anchor desk, if not any of the
preceding pageantry. Soon they wrap up and off both by 0300 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 12080, Sat Oct 10 at 1425, VOA with ``space music``,
very pleasant and good S8-S9 signal, the best extracontinental on
band. Once again the VOA Korean service presents some VG music; soon
1429 announcement in Korean, more music. This is at 1200-1500, 250 kW,
21 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES, thus fortuitously also aimed
right back CONUSward far beyond target. And never any jamming noted.
This is also on 9410, same parameters at 1400-1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7490.1 & 6159.9, UT Sat Oct 10 at 0048, both WBCQs with
`AAAWWW` slightly better on the first, as Allan is talking about some
special upcoming program marking 100th anniversary of broadcasting;
did anyone get details? Also says Jason will be on at 10 pm [02 UT
Sat] on 6160 with Rock show. 0055 finally reveals it is 9th of
October, YOOL 2020 from Studio 9 in Deland of Fla. Says 5130 is
temporarily for standby use. Reads a bit from Free Radio Weekly
starting with the 6906 Venezuelan which seems not to be a pirate, but
with no details; benedixion and off. Back at start 0000, I was
listening to Area 51 webcast; after WTO theme, usual fumbling with
mikes and compliments to Angela. I can only assume he`s always running
late, or does it this way to initiate an air of informality. Right
into politix so I skip to the end (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Sat Oct 10 at 1506, zero signal here from KVOH, but
at 1517 check via Brasil SDR, good S9/+5 during `Wavescan` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4985, Oct 10 at 0109, heavy RTTY is here, not 4895 or
