** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, July 5 18/21 UT, I neglected to check this Wednesday for LRA36, and have seen no other reports of it; here is why, via Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain:
``15476usb, LRA 36, Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel new schedule. According with a whatsapp from the station here is the LRA 36 new schedule: Mondays and Fridays from 1300 to 1500 UTC, Saturdays from 1800 to 2300 UTC. Mondays and Fridays they probably will issue the new program "Ecos de la Antártida" and Saturdays the current program "Uniendo Voces"`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2198) ** CUBA. 9700, July 6 at 0621, RHC with huge humwhine atop talk mod in Spanish rather than English, only frequency still on air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2198) The Other Side: ``Cuba is a failed state, and there are at least 14 signs demonstrating it --- Before 1959 the economy was among Latin America′s best, with per capita income higher than that of several European countries. Under Communism, it became parasitic, and cannot even survive without foreign subsidies. Roberto Álvarez Quiñones Los Ángeles 05 Jul 2023 - 21:32 CEST A few days ago I saw a photo of a group of people in front of the High Court in London. They had turned out to support the lawsuit against the Castro regime for its debt of 72 million euros. They carried a large sign that read: "Cuba is a failed state." True! This is one of the most powerful and patriotic flags that Cubans can fly today because, without a doubt, Cuba today is a failed state...`` https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1688585564_48319.html (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6869.911 AM, July 6 at 0622, surprised to find some pirate music this late here, S9+10/20, at first something like rap.
