** CUBA. 9535, June 8 at 0637, RHC Spanish S9+10, unusual for this one
to be the only one overtime tonight; and it`s much stronger than
usual. But EiBi already shows it irr. at 05-07. YL with sports news
including béisbol (WORLD OF RADIO 2194)

Speaking of which, The Other Side:

Cuban baseball, also in danger of extinction
Where else in the world is it possible to see a 55,000-seat stadium
with 70 or 75 people watching a game of the nation's most popular
sport?

Roberto Álvarez Quiñones
Miami 03 Jun 2023 - 17:55 CEST

No one is surprised by the collapse that baseball has undergone in
every way in Cuba, a national sport since the last quarter of the
nineteenth century, long before the country's independence. The most
visible cause of this decline in Cuba is the unstoppable exodus of
players, who emigrate from the country almost daily. But this cause,

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed June 7 at 1819, LRA36 is S7/9+10
into Argentine remote. Manuel Méndez, Spain says it was already on at
1756; 1821 full ID twice also as RNASG. 1823 about early radio history
in Argentina. Still going at 1848; recheck 2003 still but much weaker
vs HNL S3/S5 unlistenable. It`s gone by 2041.

Ironically, RAE chief Adrián Korol was doing a live chat from 1730
which I was mainly following, about SW curiosities, playing some
classic interval signals and taking questions, comments. Maybe can be
played back, over a sesquihour:

** BENIN. 1566, June 7 at 0425, JBA carrier into Sevilla SDR, presumed
TWR by far the strongest Eurafrican on this frequency. That`s as close
as we can get since there are zero Kiwis around west Africa. There
used to be a good one on Fuerteventura, Canary Is which was good for
that; maybe seasonal as I think it belonged to an expat. Checking to
confirm if on air, as no signal direct from reported *0420 last night
reaching southwest Canadian IRCAns. They say it goes off at 0507*
already. The Parakou-Victoria GC path must traverse the entire
Canadian landmass from northern Labrador, Québec, thru northern
Manitoba. I listen intently 0430-0435 direct but nothing. I have heard
it before and/or the other Parakou on 1476 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 11785, June 7 at 2200, VOT confirmed on, fair
direct with time signal several seconds late behind simulSpain on

** HAWAII. 6501 USB, June 6 at 0631, USCG marine weather for Pacific
coördinates: NMO Honolulu sked at 0600-0635; per EiBi, timeshared with
Kodiak, Guam, Chesapeake; and VFF Iqaluit could use it any time; poor
reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 1323 kHz, June 6 after 1900, Radio Six
International, 60th anniversary special. Villa Estense IRRS relay at
first inaccessible by busy Noale SDR full of ham and CB frequencies.
Also on 9670 but NG either into UTwente from Channel 292 due to heavy
splash from Indonesian on 9675 - EiBi shows as Sa`udi Arabia;
simultaneously Turkish: axually it doesn`t make sense for Indo at that
hour, but that`s what been heard instead of Turkish. Tony Currie
playing lots of familiar pop tunes back to the 60s, live
acknowledgements of emails including one from me at 1928 explaining
the QRM to 9670. By then I`m mainly listening to the NEXUS/IBA stream
with perfect `reception`. One song e.g. at 1933: `Downtown` by Pet
Clark. Happy anniversary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, June 6 at 2200, VOT is not off the air today, S3/S8
direct in English; news first by YL without awful accent, good
modulation too, but still hard to copy due to fading and storm
crashes. And a 1-minute break in transmission at 2208*-*2209. 2212
`Review of the Turkish Press` about Indo/Pak relations; 2219
with-you-every-hour promo, music. 2219 `Weekly Commentary` by bad
accentedess when I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28232+ CW, June 6 at 2158, beacon VVV DE W7SWL W7SWL TUCSON
AZ - then probably grid square uncopied. Sporadic E opening is JBA to
this MUF, the OSOB. Is this a real ham call? Yes per qrz.com:

``W7SWL USA flag USA, ROBERT J COOMLER, 7322 E Calle Los Arboles,
Tucson, AZ 85750, USA --- Former calls: WV6NLP (1960), N7DKD (1981),
