** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Jan 18 at 1608, not up to check
earlier, but as expected no signal from LRA36 into Argentine SDR. Also
checked after 1600 Sat Jan 14, nothing to log, presumably still in
mid-summer hiatus. HOWEVER, it`s coming back Sat Jan 21 as Horacio
Nigro informs the WOR iog:
[WOR] Special broadcast of 15476 LRA 36 announced for next Jan 21. LRA 36 RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL presents "UNIENDO Voces"
("Joining voices", would be a possible translation from the original
name in Spanish). This is a special program produced together with RAE
(Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior) and dedicated to shortwave
listeners, DXers and radio amateurs from all over the world. The broadcast will take place on SATURDAY JANUARY 21 at 15 UTC with a
repeat at 19 UTC on the frequency of 15476 KHz (USB) in the 19 meter
band and will count on the participation of Adrián Korol, Director of
RAE and Juan Benavente, member of the Antarctic Joint Command,
together with Marcelo Ayala, journalist of Radio Nacional who conducts
during January from LRA36 the morning "Panorama Informativo" for all
the stations of the network of the Argentine Public Radio. The contents include live interviews, interesting material from the
sound archive of LRA36 such as audios of its first transmission,
different IDs, audios of listenings of DXers in different times, and
material from LA ROSA DE TOKIO, the program of Omar Somma and Arnaldo
Slaen, who is the DX Editor of RAE. This year is very important for LRA36. During the month of February,
the shortwave transmission and radiating system will be evaluated and
measured in order to provide a NEW SHORTWAVE TRANSMITTER to the
beloved Antarctic transmitter, and the 10 KW CCA transmitter will also
be returned to the mainland for repair. A new antenna will also be installed for the FM signal on 96.7 MHz,
which will broadcast with a power of 250 watts (currently it runs with
25). As always we look forward to your comments and reception reports at

or inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960.016, Jan 18 at 2305, VOT English is not off the air
today, S9+40 into UTwente; during news 2308 however, audio is cutting
out or hitting mod peaks only: wiggle that patchcord! I guess they did
for soon corrected. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. *2310 the

150-300 minutes of exercise per week. 2321 song break. 2325-2332

never understand the names and spelling them out is unthinkable: EU
leaders are losing confidence in Russian sanxions. 2337 `Feeling
Supreme` :: that is what the segment title sounds like on the recorded
intro = outro over theme music. However, `new` segment starting really
does sound like `The Healing Spring`. Of course ``the`` would never
make sense preceding `Feeling Supreme`. It`s about increasing
children`s immunity. 2344 music. 2352 s/off. 2354 IS played one

WILLIAM A HENSEL, 28307 Grove St., Pine, CO 80470, USA Much more about his equipment and interests, mainly QRP and fly
fishing, and toward the bottom: ``HIFER = HIGH FREQUENCY EXPERIMENTAL
RADIO --- I have a Hifer Beacon running on 13563.45 Khz. The ID is
PCO. Preceeding the IDs of PCO there is a 5 second carrier. It is a
Part 15 unlicensed transmitter. The measured output is around 3.6 MW
into a half wave dipole. The beacon is solar powered. I do QSL SWL
reports on my Hifer Beacon. Stalking the Hifers on the 22 meter band
while out Hiking and taking with you a small short wave receiver can
be very rewarding.`` MW = milliwatts So far have logged PCO five more times before/since (Glenn Hauser, OK,

January 18 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+10/20 direct but unusually
fluttery for such a bigsig. This time a few notes of music intrude
between ID and WOR, which I think I recognize as the RAE theme from
Argentina. Not checked Wed Jan 18 at 1030 on 5850, and had already eliminated it
from my skeds, since WRMI sked showed it replaced by `Music &

VOV this semihour is scheduled. It`s extremely wobbly, at first
suspecting two signals beating, but this would not be jammed. Rather
it`s Doppler flutter as evident on many other weaker Asian signals on
25m. WWV: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 17 January follow.
Solar flux 222 and estimated planetary A-index 6.
The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 18 January was 2.67.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Radio blackouts
reaching the R1 level occurred.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.92, Jan 18 at 1646, considerable carrier, seems to
fade a bit so maybe not local birdie? Brings to mind V of Nigeria
trying to come back, but used to be on minus side of 11770. At 1803
check into a Canary SDR, nothing around 11770, but something on 7255,
in Russian & Chinese, CRI. Is VON ever attempting 7255- anymore in
local evenings, like 1630-1900 English? Pointless due to CRI & Tibet
co-channel. VON really ought to be on 11770 for that, original
frequency with no QRM, but may be impossible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0018 UT January 19
