** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat July 1 at 1803, zero signal direct from LRA36, but at 1807, S5/S7 into best Argentine SDR, music; 1827 after pause, CW ID starting with LRA36, then voice ID, and multi-lingual RAE ID reel. Manuel Méndez, Spain had got confirmation from station it would be on air today, unlike previous Wed and Sat. But I`m distracted by John Adams` ``Nixon in China``, this week`s opera on KUCO. At 1911, LRA36 peaking S9+10 with tango, ¿Gardel? By 2000 peaking only S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, July 1 at 1513, S9/+10 of dead air and still at 1524 from RHC. What about the only other scheduled midday frequency, 15140? At 1517 it`s S6/S7 with Spanish undermodulation cutting on and off, a great improvement! Wiggle that patchcord. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND. 8957 USB, July 1 at 0557, JBA VOLMET in YL voice, synth? It`s Shannon, 24 hours here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND. 8828 USB, July 1 at 0554, weak VOLMET. Auckland is scheduled starting at :50 and :20 past every hour, per EiBi. 8828 is timeshared with Tokyo at :10 and :40, Hongkong at :15 and :45. If each be 5 minutes max, that leaves open :00 & :30, :05 & :35, :25 & :55 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 9700, Saturday July 1 at 0600, NZ news, VG S9/+10, new for July? But still on 11725 //, S9+10/20. No, current websked shows 11725 only. Presumably test as normally they never run both transmitters at same time in AM. 9700 is sked elsewhen in AM, 1651-1958 except Sats. By 0602, there is SAH from another carrier on 9700. That would be RRI in German. There could be a 3-way collision if RHC happened to be here, but not tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, KUCO FM, our classical station, keeps jumbling its programming around; will it ever settle down? https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/ I was getting into `Performance Today` which they picked up a couple months ago, but now it`s gone again, replaced by local origination without explanation. Of course we can still hear PT via https://www.yourclassical.org/performance-today or on some other webcasting station. Huge listing here but each must be confirmed: http://publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=360 Long-running `The Score` from Portland, filmusic, has just been replaced on KUCO by `Reel Music` another cinematic co-produced by KBAQ Phœnix and WDAV Davidson NC, Fri 19-20 & Sat 16-17 UT. KUCO says due to unexpected price hike by The Score. We can still get that from HQ station KQAC both Sat & Sun at 21-22 UT. Brit EdmUnd Stone has a more erudite style. Reel guy Matt Rogers inserts drive-in movie promos, like go get food and drink, but the music is still VG. This `Reel Music` is as yet unknown? to publicradiofan.com. An ``eclectic`` show of same name is listed for WETS in TN, but unfound on its own schedule. PRF shows it on only one different station, KMUC in MO, Fridays at 19-20 UT. It is still sked there on KMUC, HD2 subsidiary of KBIA Columbia. See: https://kbaq.org/reelmusic Same time as KQAC on Sat at 21-22 is yet another cinemusic show, `Film At Five` on WCLV. It used to be repeated 7 hours later = 05 UT in winter but no more (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UQKOGBANI. 11253 USB, July 1 at 0615, VOLMET by YL voice, synth? EiBi shows this is RAF from site ic which means ``one of: Inskip (Lancashire) 53N50-02W50 / St. Eval (Cornwall) 50N29-05W00 / Crimond (Aberdeenshire) 57N37-01W53`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
