** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Dec 14 at 1455 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on with song, only S6 so not enough to
overcome noise level. 1501 standard canned sign/on, multi-lingual
advisory, staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``; 1502.5 theme
song; 1506 recitation with musical background; 1507.7 song; 1511.7 ID
ending with ``su compañía`` and start live YLs chatting led by María
Eugenia, as programa #35; 1519 strength surges briefly to S7/S8; 1526
contact info; 1527.7 song; 1530.4 ID with `Nacional, nos une``,
this-week-in-history starring with 12 diciembre. I have to quit now
for an appointment, but did not miss much as Gary Pence says it
dropped off sometime between 1532 and 1545.
Here`s info about the 2022 and 2023 seasons, including full names of
the four women now and then; from Radio Magazine, on FB originally in
French, into Spanish via Juan I. Gutiérrez, AER Foro DX, a lot better
than a machine-translated English version: ``ANTÁRTIDA: LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel Gabriel, la emisora más
austral del mundo es la única emisora estatal que transmite desde la
Antártida en onda corta. Características que, sumadas a que se trata
de una estación de Estado operada por personal militar del Comando
Conjunto Antártico, la hacen única frente a otras radios. Por segundo año, Radio Nacional LRA 36 estará dirigida por un equipo
profesional y técnico integrado exclusivamente por mujeres. Así lo
anunció el Ministro de Defensa el pasado 7 de diciembre: El acto contó
con la presencia de la Presidenta de Radio y Televisión Argentina,
Rosario Lufrano, el Comandante del Grupo Antártico, Brigadier General
Edgar Fernando Calandín, Adrián Korol, director de Radio Argentina en
el Exterior, y Malvinas, Antártida y Atlántico Sur Secretario del
Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Guillermo Carmona. El nuevo equipo tomará el relevo de Romina Zabalza, María Eugenia
Rodríguez, Claudia Beatriz Albarracín y Mariela Churquina, quienes ya
llevan un año en el cargo. Además del servicio de FM local, LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel
Gabriel tiene alcance internacional a través de onda corta. El
objetivo de su programación es difundir la cultura argentina, pero
sobre todo el trabajo de las Fuerzas Armadas en las bases antárticas,
la labor de investigación científica y, fundamentalmente, el apoyo a
la histórica reivindicación de soberanía del territorio antártico. La Estación Base Esperanza reflejará en su nueva parrilla el contenido
cultural y científico argentino y, en particular, las actividades que
se desarrollan en la Antártida. La emisora tendrá, en enero, la matinal de Panorama Nacional de
Noticias, a cargo del periodista Marcelo Ayala y su grupo de
producción estará integrado por Lorena del Carmen Alvarado, María
Victoria Menéndez, Noemí del Valle Cisneros, Ariadna Verónica Berrardo
y Adriana Novakoski y la técnica de operación del cabo primero de la
marina Nicole Valdebenito. Puede escuchar la radio en 15476 kHz y confirma informes de escucha
por QSL. LRA36 Arcángel Gabriel, Base Esperanza, Antártida, Argentina

on the WRMI skedgrid, Harold Sellers replies quite differently: ``According to my recent monitoring I believe RAE’s English
programming is carried by WRMI as below.

like last night, never with call letters, but beachradiosk.ca Chuckle.
Second of two nights WSB off for maintenance. Melfort appears to be
the dominant signal all over USA. There are no other US powerhouses at
night except 20 kW Portland OR, but it`s cardioid into Pacific, deep
null eastward. Well, also 50/50 kW ND KFQD Anchorage, which might have
a chance were it not for CKJH. The Spanish I heard last night was
probably R. Progreso, Cuba. Others I have heard before: KAMA El Paso
TX, 1 kW; KOAL Price UT, 6.8 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, Dec 14 at 0734, R. Rebelde remains reactivated, VG here
but no 10050; nor RHC on 5040 & 10080. The other side: READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW --- December 14, 2022 POLITICS
Why are the ballot boxes in Cuba guarded by children and not by
security forces? 'The clearest proof of the banality and theatricality
of the Cuban electoral system.'

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Dec 14 at 0739, S9+20 of dead air from RHC; also 6165,
S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 14 at 2242, no signal into UTwente from R.
Cairo in English for a sesquihour from 2115. Something`s always amiss
in Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 14 at 0728, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier
is here, R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 14 at 0740, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Don`t you believe that `StarDate` is on KGOU
Norman and its satellites, daily at 7 AM & PM CST = 13 & 01 UT. Still
not having located it on the `upgraded` KUCO, if at all, I bring up
the KGOU stream at 0100 Dec 14. Instead, after the `Fresh Air` opening
teaser, this news hole is filled by `National Native News` as on KGOU
sked, with nothing specified for 7 AM. Looking again at the website,
somewhat obscure is link to affiliates:
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates
upon which is a USA map where you have to click on a state.
Considering that all OK entries are wrong, I would not believe any
without confirming. Guess what: publicradiofan.com doesn`t know of
any, just as a podcast. Furthermore, StarDate website credits for show
does not even mention the only voice we always hear, Billy Henry,
ex-Sandy Wood. It does name several people behind the scenes in
scripting and produxion. He is elsewhere on the site or search on his
name. Next I try KUNM Albuquerque NM as it and all its relays are on the
affiliate list: 7 pm [MST] except Sundays 6:30 pm - CONFIRMED, UT Wed
Dec 14 at 0200 on KUNM webcast, even tho it is too insignificant to
appear on KUNM`s own skeds, as if `Espejos de Aztlán` start at 7 pm
sharp, lunes a viernes. Music after StarDate is certainly nothing
Hispanic. O, on Tuesdays, `Home of Happy Feet` starts at 7 altho the
title is `centered` as if it start an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 14 at 2300, token English from REE, billboard
of features starts with something about silly ballgame players, so I
ditch it for TURKEY q.v. instead. But a quickcheck later finds it`s VG
into Maryland SDR, while 12030 & 11940 are JBA and 11685 inaudible if
it even be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001, Dec 14 *from a few seconds before 2300
timesignal, VOT S9+35 into Utwente. Now seems to be coördinating with
BBC Oman until 2259.5* so as not to overlap with IS. Usual sign-on
with jumbled English schedule, and soon there is surging caused by
open carrier from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of ChiCom
genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems, which has also just opened
on a slightly different frequency making subaudible heterodyne - SAH
fading. Not until 2311.7 do the ChiCom bring up the relayed CNR1
modulation, after which the CCCCCCI is rather annoying. As usual, VOT
is undermodulated so that I have to open SDR and own volume controls
to max, but aside from the QRM would be sufficient considering how
strong the signal is. After news and music break, 2322 feature title
now sounds like `Clipping Files`? It`s about genetic diseases and
social media addixion causing depression, narcissism. At the closing
it sounds more like `Gripping Piles`, more next week. 2326,
multilingual ID filler reel. 2328, `Weekly Commentary`, by some prof.,
can`t understand name or institution, about Xi`s official visit to
Sa`udi Arabia, what effect it could have on the ME. Usual too-heavy
accent by YL reader. 2353 recheck closer to 5960.002, already in TRT
IS and the CCCCCCI is even worse. 2356 begins interspersing German
IDs. 0000 Dec 15 still on, signing on German, mixing with ChiCom
anthem. 0008+, enough cacophony. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday
December 14 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed Wednesday December 14 at 2205 the 2200+ on WBCQ 7490-,
S8/S9 direct but vs S5/S6 high noise level, really unlistenable. Via
Maryland SDR, however, it` S9+10/20 -58 Hz offset = 7489.942. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
