** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday July 13 from 1455 to 1555,
NEVER any signal from LRA36 into best Argentine SDR, another failure
of scheduled broadcast; but there are blaaps every 7.5 seconds and
irregular clix, OTH radar? none of which would have been serious
obstacles. Better luck on Saturday July 16? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, July 13 at 0630, all these RHCs are
off already in English. You never know which or any will remain after
0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM. The much-anticipated first images from the
Webb Spacescope: yes, they are impressive and pretty - but we realize
they are the outcome of post-produxion, as no humaneye could ever see
anything like that. We hope to trust that the colorization, converted
from infrared wavelengths, bear some relation to reality; but spare us
all the six-pointed ``stars``, which if not imposed deliberately would
be considered produced by defective optix. Not satisfied with glimpses
on various TV news, I went to the NASA.gov website, which also
prompted me to take a survey: fine, I`ll tell them off! ``Do not close
this window`` --- I did not but it disappeared anyway.

Oops, altho gone from main screen I later find it - but most of the 37
questions are *required multiple-choice, and have nothing to do with
my issue, rather presentation of the website in general, etc.
Nevermind (Glenn Hauser, Terra, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.7 AM, July 12 at 2351, CB pirate relay of 103.1
KOFM Enid during local adstring, S9+10/20. What a bonus for
advertisers! Does KOFM even know or care about this hijacking? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 7730, July 13 at 0501-0507, `Ukraine: Security
Issue` via WRMI. Missed the datestamp but not a repeat of yesterday so
must be new. As for the other UR1 relay:

``Checked yesterday and today, July 12 and 13, WRMI still airing
preacher at 1200 UT on 5010 kHz. There's no introduction to this

** VANUATU. 11835, July 13 circa 0630, still no signal from RV X3. I

``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: Strong carrier and some extremely weak
audio detected here in Reinante, NW of Spain, good signal via SDR Kiwi
remote receivers in New Zealand. VANUATU, Radio Vanuatu on air again,
