** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Feb 23 at 1522 tune-in: both
Brasília SDRs are offline; at Pardinho is JBA, but Campo gets S2 from
LRA36: music and talk; 1528 ``Nacional Antártida Argentina, en todo el
país, la radio pública`` --- I assume they think this is relayed all
over Argentina on the Nacional network: is that true? Music and
talkbits alternate, frequent IDs. 1533 ``Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel`` ID; 1536 ``Nacional, la radio pública``. 1541 something
about Poland. 1543 email, song mentioning Esperanza but not the
themesong, never heard today. 1546 LRA36 & RNASG IDs.
BTW, it`s 10 degrees F in Enid, colder than Esperanza? Yes, much! See
https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/antarctica/esperanza-base
checked at 1740 UT, it`s a balmy +40 F there, melting. But at South
Pole it`s minus 50 F, whew! And guess from which direxion the wind is
blowing? North! Back to my logging: 1555 LRA36 & RNASG IDs. 1558 email, historical talk. Now it`s peaking
at S3. 1601 ID, efemérides, = historical/anniversary items, something
from the 1800s, more likely about continental Argentina than this
outpost. 1612 email, 15476. 1614 song with birdchirps. 1616 NAA, LRP
IDs. 1620 ID, song. 1623 the SDR times out after one hour. Check
Corral one in Argentina, JBA; nothing at LU4AA; 1625 nothing at west
Iceland; 1626 nothing at Montevideo. Maybe have just signed off, as
it`s high time. 1627 Pardinho check: only S8 noise level! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Feb 23 at 0718, only RHC still on but S9+10 of nothing
but hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9899.608+, Feb 23 at 2124, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente with
extreme distortion, presumed English, totally unreadable. Something
remains egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Feb 23 at 0553, definite carrier already,
surely R. Kiribati a sesquihour after London sunset, rather than
anything TA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, Feb 23 at 0713, XEPPM with song in English about
monkeys with droning bassline, S9/+10 and better modulation than
usual. Eclectic music format and sometimes listenable. Always slightly
off-frequency-minus but not measured, compared e.g. to 6155 Austria.
Last report Feb 13 from Gianni Serra, Italy, put it on 6184.97 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Feb 23 at 0551, PN, 25-watt NDB at PoNca
City is back on after latest outage; was still off during day Feb 22
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Feb 23 at 2307 after the news, REE token triweekly
English semihour N American frequency is not off the air, others not
checked as I`m tuned for content via VG Maryland remote: by Amy Egan
about Rosalía de Castro, Galician poet who promoted the Gallego
language which had been denigrated. Her collexion `Cantares Gallegos`
also set to music with some examples. Interview clips in Castilian
handled the right way, minimizing voice-overing into English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.017+, Feb 23 at 2300, VOT English is not off the air
today, VG via UTwente, but at first I`m mainly listening to
simulSpain. ToH timesignals about 2 seconds apart. 2315 plays same
commentary as yesterday by the PhD student at Exeter about ``US
provoked Russia in order to maintain its global primacy`` --- huh??
Enough of that. Yet I get the impression that Turkey is siding with
Ukraine. Recheck 2354, already in IS, this time with English IDs,
rapid SAH and off at 2356* before it can switch to German, uncovering
PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide
against Uyghurs and other Moslems. If I were listening from within N
America, there would be less CCCCCCI from it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2126 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.
Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Dear Glenn: 5850 kHz, slept almost past it, later start but heard #2126, 1042,
