** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wednesday November 30 I try to tune
remote for LRA36 from 1500, but my Internet is out! 1522 it finally
connex while I am on the phone waiting for Optimum to do something;
and RNASG is indeed on, into Argentine SDR, S5/S7 during song; 1524
``nos une`` ID, this-week-in-history; 1534 surprise, a few Vs in Morse
code apparently intro to some kind of promo, music; 1538.5 more
historical talk but dumps off air abruptly at 1543.6*, and nothing
more by 1619 when I quit. Also:
[WOR] All our LRA36 reports for 2022 so far --- Nov 28 at 6:28 PM
Exhaustive compilation of 2022 log reports of LRA36, almost? all from
gh and other WOR iog members:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z6ksS06h9QgvCiYEiKKBq_1fCnfVjtXH/view It starts with the Wikipedia entry still getting the FM frequency
wrong, 97.6 instead of 96.7. This was done by Tony Rogers of the
British DX Club as part of DX Guides, with Antarctica at the very
bottom of the Americas sexion:

What about previous years, and will this page survive into 2023? BDXC
made it clear I was not welcome to post my log reports to their
newsgroup, but I am glad they have found some use for them (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 30 at 0739 UT, marine weather by CCG roboYL
in English, S9+10, surprisingly much stronger than 2749 USB, sounding
like the same. Not so surprising, considering that altho further at
Placentia, NL, 2598 VCP-4 is listed as 3000 watts, first broadcast of
new day at 0737; while 2749 is VCO Sydney NS with only 550 watts from
0740. Each timeshares with several others on same frequencies. I would
love to hear the other further Canadians on 2514, 2582, but scheduling
is not favorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Nov 30 at 0737, S9/+10 of dead air: only Cuban SW
transmitter still on air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other
Side: ``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW --- November 28, 2022 EMIGRATION

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Nov 30 at 2211, no signal from RHC where English
sometimes appears sometime during this hour. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13605, 13673, 13809, 13789, all very approx., wideband
spurblobs, Nov 30 at 2212 out of RHC 13740 which is S9/+20, much
stronger than // 13680 not involved in these, at roughly 68 kHz
intervals out to second-order, but none detected at third-order spots.
Hints of programod when tuned in AM mode. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. The Other Side: ``An independent Cuban candidate wins the nomination for the upcoming
municipal 'elections' --- José Antonio Cabrera Parada has already been
visited by the political police, warns the Council for a Democratic
Transition in Cuba. DDC | Santiago de Cuba...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 30 at 2157, S9+45 into UTwente of humbuzz, no
programod in English from R. Cairo where something`s always egregious
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, November 30 at 0744, no signal at
first, but JBA carrier at 0748 recheck, maybe just a fade rather than
off/on, and one should really listen for more than a few seconds. At
first the only other 9 kHz split is a slow beat on 855, likely Spains;
and at second there`s 711 kHz JBA carrier, likely Western Sahara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 30 at 0734, S8/S9 of dead air except for trace
of modulation, no doubt VON on signature strong off-frequency.
Something`s always abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 30 at 2307, token English feature after REE
news is about 69 worx of art smuggled out from Kyiv to an exhibition
in Madrid, VG S9+10/30 into Maryland SDR; just in time before missile
strixe. 2324 fills with stuff about a SBG player (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.018, Nov 30 at 2258, VOT IS & ID so English is on
today, S9+25/35 into UTwente, but I listen first to Spain, q.v. Back
to here at 2330, now there is big hum but otherwise good modulation,
and also CCCCCCI making fast SAH, since TRT is 18 Hz off-frequency.

Cuban Spy Numbers in the clear. 9330-, Nov 30 at 2210, now it`s nominal, S9+35/45 direct in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085 et al., update from George McClintock about WTWW,
bearing his title, so maybe not done for yet? ``WTWW: Resurrection --- Bags and bags of junk have been removed from
the site. The forest in front of the building and under # 1 antenna
have been cut down and removed. A scrubber machine has cut the
remaining small bush to the dirt ground. Grass under #2 antenna is
currently being cut down. #2 antenna grass has been cut. The sagging floor in the kitchen and bathrooms have been strengthened
and replaced with plywood. A new heating and AC unit has been
installed and keeps the house warm. A new washer and dryer are setting
on the deck waiting installation next week. All old carpet has been
removed and a new floor is scheduled for next week. The deck has been
one half pressure washed and is down to the natural wood. The other
half cleaning is scheduled for next week. The front door has dropped
down and is being fixed. A small crew is staying in the house to save
on motel expense. Light bulbs have been replaced and garbage/trash has
been removed from the transmitter building. AC unit filters which were
unbelievably dirty have been replaced. #3 transmitter outside filters
have rusted in place and had to be hammered out and replaced. Transmitters 1 & 2 are running but await the water cleaner RESIN to
keep the eating of copper tubing up. Sacrificial rods are to be
replaced soon. All moving parts have been lubricated and working
correctly, for a change. Over one half of the transmitter light bulbs
are out and are slowly being replaced. One of the Harris SW100
transmitter #3 motors was removed and not replaced. We have a
replacement motor which is currently being installed. More fixes in a later release. George McClintock 11-28-2022``

currently the 43rd edition reflects his statements. All three are
listed as Grp= Double K Country. 73 Wayne Heinen, N0POH, Editor, NRC
AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO. “Hello Wayne, All three stations carry the same programming. There is
no such thing as Double K FM 99.9. Have no idea where that came from.
We do split off AM 1240, KNEM/99.9 at various times for game
broadcasts especially during the high school football and basketball
seasons when we are carrying multiple games at once. I'm going to
assume this is where the confusion comes from. I hope this answers
your questions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
