** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed June 21 at 1752, LRA36 talk already on the air, 1754 sounds like live ``buenas tardes`` greeting at 15 local time, between Sra. Menéndez and the usual male host. No signal direct altho imagination-level bit of the reduced carrier; of the four Argentine SDRs, the best one is offline; two get a trace at best, but the other one is weak but readable; steadily fades down to JBA by 1925 and not at all by 2015 but unknown if or when it turned off. Anyhow, now seems regular roughly 18-21 UT on Wed & Sat. I missed checking for those last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA [non]. 12005, June 21 at 2130, annual BBCWS midwinter special for Antarcticans, greetings from families with bits of music interspersed such as ``I`m a Believer`` twice near the start. I first tried several remotes in Argentina, Uruguay, RSA, some getting some signal but inadequate. So I settle on UTwente, where I thought Woofferton might be skipping over, but sufficient at S9+20; and 13810 slightly weaker at S9+10 and minus 3 Hz offset. Third frequency, 7255 via UAE a very poor third everywhere if at all. I don`t get it why they disused Ascension, which should have put the best signal southward. Uncounted, but there were so many quick greetings that it`s hard to believe the target audience no more than 32 to 40 down there. Of course, each could receive greetings from several family, friends. At 2145 a quick check for my direct reception: both 12005 & 13810 audible but very poor. 2159 closing with ``Jingle Bells``, off at 2200* sharp. Anyhow, BBC are repeating it later and streaming, and I hope ondemand for convenience. Yes, Alan Pennington, bdxc-news, says, ``But also now available to listen to online at https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct5hqt (though always sounds better coming through the ether!)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Tue June 20 at 0100, RAE VG in English via WRMI; always gives day of produxion at outset, this time ``Monday, June 12`` -- more than a week ago. WRMI sked now shows RAE English 0100-0130 Tue-Sat on 9395 - but is there only one new program per week? Repeated over & over? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855 & 15520, Wed June 21 at 2200, good signals from token English of SNR into UTwente, far off-target but I conveniently have it running after BBC/Antarctica. News includes about the latest migrant boat loss off Canarias. 2205 feature previewing some operas this fall at Teatro Real. Singer explains how different languages lead to different interpretations. 2220 about a paleontologist in 1868 whose cave paintings he discovered in Altamira were dismissed as fraudulent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, June 21 at 2200, no signal from VOT English for us into UTwente, nor at 2207 recheck. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2195 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.

Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW [NEW to be confirmed] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated; via PayPal not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15150, June 21 at 0405, WMLK again, S9+20/25 into UTwente and I could believe it`s really 300 kW; but I miss sign-on if any, nor any real IDs; amateurish singing in progress, hymn? By 0412 presumed DEJOM with Yahweh stuff, perpetual obsession with ``correct`` name for their deity. At 0433 I check the website, still with no new info, altho the ``live radio`` plays -- but NOT // 15150, in fact an entirely different speaker. So far I have seen zero other reports about this in all the DX sources I have; no one has noticed but me starting two nights ago? Then, here`s another, June 21 at 0840 in bdxc-news: ``WMLK (Assemblies of Yahweh) Bethel, Pennsylvania currently on 15150 khz with a good signal here at 0830 tune in, usual preaching from the late Jacob O Meyer. SIO 344. First time I've heard WMLK on this frequency or at this time although they have been registering the frequency for many years in the HFCC. 15150 was first reported by Glenn Hauser on 19 June. WMLK schedule is Sunday to Friday: 0400-0900 on 15150, 1700-2200 on 9275. 73s Dave Kenny, Caversham Berks, AOR 7030+ / 25m longwire`` 9275, still no WMLK here at 2057 June 21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085 & 9475, still no activity from WTWW; however George McClintock tells me June 21 there`s still a possibility of reactivation if some airtime can be sold. Partially depleted tubes may be sold on EBay. Vines are now overgrowing the two WTWW buildings. A tree fell over on one of the feedlines. SFAW HQ in Colorado is still paying electric bill at minimum rate of $ 2K per month, altho axual consumption has been nothing but air-conditioning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 88.3, a reply to my first unID of my June 14 FM DX report, ``88.3 at 1714, mentions Leesburg? which is in N VA, NW of WDC. Nothing there; I now think it was probably Lynchburg as in later 88.3 log below.`` Tim McVey: ``You can't rule out 88.3 WQIQ in Spotsylvania. WQIQ is part of Virginia Tech's excellent large-area network of stations (IQ Radio), and a fulltime NPR affiliate. Daily they carry segments on news from around Virginia. That seems like a reasonable option based on PTA (other Leesburgs are in FL, GA, AL, OH). 88.3 in Lynchburg, VA is local, religious programming and a long way from Leesburg. ~tim mcvey`` Spotsylvania VA is near Frederixburg, between Alexandria and Richmond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12005, June 21 at 0632, open carrier, fair. Nothing in Aoki or EiBi anywhen near this time. Would you believe HFCC still has an A23 entry for Sfax, TUNISIA, 500 kW at 100 degrees on 12005 at 0400-0610? Gone from SW for many years. Maybe that qualify them to host HFCC meetings, good for the economy. Hmmm, 12005 happens to be one of the frequencies from Woofferton to Antarctica later this date at 2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2328 UT June 21
