** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed July 21 at 1510, LRA36 is on again
this Wednesday, JB audible S3 via Campo SDR, the only Brazilian online
today; 1514 ID, 1520 & still past 1526, but off by 1541 recheck.
Meanwhile, not getting it at all were Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and
Iceland Kiwis. Off circa 1530 is sometimes normal but nominally 11-13
Arg. time = 14-16 UT; Manuel Méndez, Spain, notified me at 1451,
``Hola Glenn, me informan de Base Esperanza que están con tormenta de

signal might be cut off at any moment`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4748 & 4783 approx., July 21 at 0150, weak scratchy spurblobs
minus/plus 17-18 kHz out of 4765 R. Progreso, which is active
0030-0400 only. Seems no one else reports these; no one cares about
spectrum pollution from Cuba? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba.
Lower one also QRMs CODAR, but new 4790 WBCQ barely lux out, far

** SPAIN. 17855, Monday July 19 at 2301, REE English good S9 but some
deep fades to S3, opens with only a minute of news, then feature about
an exhibition in Madrid of the art of Georgia O`Keeffe. Justin Coe
interview with Marta Ruiz, curator of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.

I thought they were saying ``Titian`` but Thyssen, near El Prado, is
the museo exhibiting Georgia until August 8:
https://www.museothyssen.org/en/exhibitions/georgia-okeeffe

``The museum is presenting the first retrospective in Spain on Georgia
O’Keeffe (1887-1986). Through a selection of approximately 90 works
visitors enter the pictorial universe of a creative figure considered
one of the leading representatives of 20th century American art.

The exhibition offers a complete survey of O’Keeffe’s career, ranging
from the works produced between 1910 and 1920 that made her a pioneer
of abstraction to her celebrated flower paintings and views of New
York, which led to her recognition as one of the key figures in modern
American art, and culminating with her paintings of New Mexico that
arose from her fascination with the landscape and cultural mix
characteristic of that remote region.

Georgia O’Keeffe is organized by the Museo Nacional
Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Centre Pompidou and the Fondation Beyeler, in
partnership with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
After it has been seen in Madrid, the exhibition travels to Paris and
Basel.``

They had been working for years to bring this about, and despite
delays and concerns about COVID, it is now underway, thanks to loans
from the O`Keefe museum in Santa Fe --- which I have visited, and
others. It was quite a task to get it all safely shipped. Thyssen
museum had only five O`Keefes. The artist had visited Spain twice in
1953 & 1954 but felt her western all-American art would not be
appreciated in Europe. Discussed not only her erotic flowers and
skulls but the whole range of her long career (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

S9+30 carrier, no TOMBS but 3215 and 5890 remain nominal along with

obviously WWCR`s fault (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WWCR says ``Brother Stair is the meekest of all men on the face of the
earth``. Guffaw2. As always huge daytime signal, but some squeal on
the plus side. I think this is ACI from KVM70, Honolulu fax, as per
EiBi at 0519-1600 on 9982.5. That is regular at night when there is no
QRM:
9982.5 0519-1600 HWA KVM70 Fax Honolulu Oc nm
Amazing that KVM70 agreed to the 12-16 UT overlap with WWCR; or did no

province, Netherlands, where Bach spent some time; but this?

UNIDENTIFIED. Re my repeated logs of JBA carrier on 4975, Ron Howard,
CA says July 20, ``BTW - UNID (SoAm?) on 4975, again heard with a
prominent carrier, but no audio detected, at 0525 & 0730. Ron``

And Rafael Rodríguez R., Bogotá, replies, here translated, original
Spanish in the WOR iog:

``Cordial greetings, A few short lines to tell you about the clues I
have about the unit on 4975 kHz: Since the beginning of the month
(approx. July 4) I have received the carrier at 4975 kHz; at first I
thought it was the European pirate Mystery Radio that I had already
heard on 60 meters a few days before, and then in HF Underground I saw
information about the pirate Radio Deltracks, but at the time they
reported tuning, I did not agree, before 22 UT.

The signal that appears at 4975 is captured after approximately 2330,
thus checking through several KiwiSDR in Europe and more precisely in
Holland at that time and after 00 UT, nothing is heard from Radio
Deltracks; the carrier is not even detected. At the same time,
traveling through various KiwiSDRs in America, only those close to the
Caribbean area capture the carrier.

On the other hand, there is a Colombian pirate operating at 6016.7 kHz
approx. not every day between 2300 to 0200 var. with varied music, and
sometimes broadcasting signals from radio stations such as Olímpica
Stéreo, Caracol, W Radio or Blu Radio. It has been on the air since
mid-March, but then in May and June was off the air, resuming
broadcasts two weeks ago. To the KiwiSDR of Bonaire it arrives very
well which makes me think that this is from the north coast of
Colombia. Sometimes there is some locution but otherwise are only long
waves of music. In April I was able to catch a name "El Prado Radio
Organization" see
6016.4 KHz El Prado Radial Organization - Colombian pirate station,
http://dxdesdecolombia.blogspot.com/2021/04/60164-khz-organizacion-radial-el-prado.html
but only at that time I heard that identification; they have not used
it again. They have mentioned operating at 98.1 MHz. Rafael Rodríguez
R., Bogotá, Colombia``

Sunday July 18 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 918 kHz, Villa Estense;

Noale SDR.

Confirmed Sunday July 18 at 2200 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 111 Hz
= 6158.889 kHz into Maine SDR. 6160 presumably had been on all day now
with TOMBS but at 2157 tune-in the usual The Planet ID and IS loop was
playing. At 2200 cut back to TOMBS for a few sex before WOR start at

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 19 at 0232 via Bonaire SDR, weak carrier
S4-S5 in LSB-narrow mode vs 4980 WRMI splash; in SAM mode carrier
offset varies plus 5 to minus 1 Hz. Maybe a trace of modulation on
4975. Could be Latin American rather than European (Glenn Hauser, OK,

UNIDENTIFIED. 6115, July 19 at 0531, JBA carrier: very intriguing, as
CONGO Brazzaville was reported to have permanently closed down SW
several months ago, but this used to be a possible time to hear it.
The only other 6115 at this hour is R. Nikkei-2, JAPAN, but it`s
awfully early before sunset there especially in summer: 0953! UT.
Also, there is NO signal on clear 6055, sibling R. Nikkei-1; both of
which are supposed to be on air during long span. BTW, WRTH classifies
these SW as National only, not International (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, UT Sun July 18 during pre-bedtime relaxation?
KUCO-FM Edmond which is supposed to be relaying overnight classical
music from WCPE in NC, instead at 0537-0549 is firing its canned ID,
the same one over and over, every few minutes, long dead air, bit of
some classical music, and again. Finally Kimberly announces that they
are in backup programming while maintenance is underway. She
introduces the same fill music again but it`s always being
interrupted. I time starts of several IDs at these separations: 4:19,
2:20, 2:19, 2:25 minutes. They are joint with two satellites likely
affected same way: 91.9 KBCW McAlester, and 95.9 KCSC Woodward.
Probably kept doing this all night like last time; when I spread the
word as a defacto meteor scatter DX test, but then there were nothing

webcast during `Tangents` eclectic music and ethnic show which is one

will be cut in half, two hours instead of four, 05-07 UT Sun instead
of 03-07. Newish GM is revamping programming with 6 new DJs on
weeknights, 03-07 UT which somehow requires cutting down older shows
on weekends. He plays clips of her justifications and contradicts
them. Feels it is unfair and counterproductive to reduce his hours by
50%. A lot of the KALW schedule contains non-local shows duplicated on
KQED et al. Dore also explains about this in his own newsletter, which
I posted on the WOR iog. Also sent it to the internetradio hcdx group
but it bounced as ``too big`` pending approval. Too bad, since there
is so little traffic on that list anyway. More at
