** ANTARCTICA. Bruce Churchill comments on my not getting an LRA36
eQSL yet: ``Glenn, Sometimes the LRA-36 replies are within hours, but
in my experience, it`s more like several days to possibly a month or
so. But they will reply, and that’s more than I can say for most SW
stations these days ☹… Bruce``. And Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, says:
``The staff of LRA 36 are replying all the reception report received.
It will take them several days to answer all of them.

``From the second Saturday of August, LRA 36 probably will be on air
every Saturday, 15476 USB mode, repeating the Wednesday's program
"Corazón Antártico". It has to be decided if it will be on air the two
hours of the show "Corazón Antártico", or 24 hours, with the show and
music, like the last USB transmission. On Wednesday, July 29, there
will be no program, like the past July 15 and 22, due to announcer's
holiday. Next "Corazón Antártico" program will be on air on Wednesday
August 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 840 kHz, July 28 at 0400 & 0409 UT, WHAS
Louisville KY is still on. Earlier, Chris Gay tipped the WOR iog that
WHAS had announced it would go off the air at midnight - 0400 UT - for
antenna maintenance, duration unknown. I leave a radio on 840 and
around 0415 WHAS seems gone but others say it was 0417 or 0418 so it
may have been in a fade a bit before. Then listening closely I hear
some talk in Spanish, followed by mostly music. #1 suspect is CMHW
Santa Clara, CUBA. Considerable splash ACI as if from music, but
unseems from WCCO or KOA. When aimed N/S I get a fast SAH presumably
involving KVJY in the RGV, also Spanish format, but religion. Not
rechecked until 0631 when I still hear Spanish stronger; 0634 WHAS
cuts on about iHeart Radio for a few seconds, off again. *0637 WHAS
back on again, seemingly to stay, in `C2CAM` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. On July 26, I sent my log of the Sat July 25 LRA36
special for QSL, to the address I heard announced, and quoted in my
log report, tranalra36@radionacional.com.ar --- but it bounced July
27. So I resent it to an address mentioned in previous publicity:
tranalra36@radionacional.gov --- I hope this one be correct. That one
just bounced too, immediately. WHAT is the correct one? Bruce
Churchill replied: Tranalra36@radionacional.gov.ar --- This is the
correct address``. So I try a third time: no bounce, but no reply yet
either. Trana is name of the LRA36 person (Glenn Hauser, OK, July 28,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, July 28 at *0011:46.5, RHC carrier cuts on and starts
undermodulating Spanish in less than a minute. Arnie`s official sked
claims this runs from 23 to 04 UT for Rio de Janeiro, so I have been
wondering whether there would be an overlap with REE Spain (q.v.)
which on weekdays goes off at 2304*. So I set the ATS-909 to 11669-USB
and waited for a carrier/tone to appear. No collision today, but does
it ever start on time at *2300? Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11670 is the current big spurblobber, rather than 13700 in the
mornings, likely the same transmitter. At 0020 I check for those:
circa 11633 and 11713, but not equally offset, minus 37 and plus 43.
Then I go back to the lower and find it spreads as far as 11625 =
minus 45. Almost readable listening in FM or AM modes, hum along with
the telltale F# tone above Middle C. Also JBA around 11593 but no more
on the plus side with inband QRM. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, July 28 at 0056, RHC S9+10/20 of dead air in English,
then some JBM and suptortion, while // 6145 is sufficient. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.5-WBFM, July 27 at 2112 UT, ``K-95.5, Tulsa`s New
Country`` as KWEN-FM, originally counterpart of KKNG in OKC, holds its
own against our 95.7 local tnx to tropo boost after heavy rain.
Differs slightly from WTFDA DB listing, ``K-95 FM`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Monday July 27 at 2203, REE with Justin Coe
introducing fusion of flamenco and jazz by Daniel García, in the
thrice-weekly English service --- this sounds very familiar, and is in
fact a re-run of the Monday July 6 broadcast.

11670, Mon July 27 at 2300, REE earworm IS post-sign-off from its
weakest frequency here, for Africa until 2304* while much stronger
off-the-back instead of -side 12030 for ME continues a bit longer.
Meanwhile only the two other frequencies for N&S America, 9690 & 11940
are still programming from 2300 with Portuguese. This is correcting
the WRTH July 20 Update which had all four frequencies for that until
2330, but typo for one of them as 2200-2230 M-F. I am really checking
whether a collision at 2300 with CUBA, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, July 27 at 2200, VOT English is on and NSS-less; 2249
recheck IS already playing after closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6993, July 28 at 0054, at least two JBA carriers beating
against each other. Time for another occasional log of presumed
propagation research stations in Florida. Terry Kruger sent me in
April 2016 the FCC CP and license pdf about this, but which I can no
longer find on the FCC website, under file number 0388-EX-PL-2015,
perhaps because the one-year experimental license expired on July 1,
2016 --- but if renewed perhaps with a different number. No hits on
the callsign either, WH2XWF, nor on ASTRA. Anyhow the pertinent info
then was:

Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates (ASTRA), LLC.

Station Locations
(1) Cross City (DIXIE), FL - NL 29-37-46; WL 83-06-28
(2) Hawthorne (PUTNAM), FL - NL 29-39-42; WL 81-57-26
(3) Inverness (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-47-58; WL 82-18-58
(4) Homosassa (CITRUS), FL - NL 28-44-55; WL 82-33-19
(5) Keystone (HILLSBOROUGH), FL - NL 29-50-40; WL 82-02-24

Each of them on the same four frequencies, all with 164 watts ERP:
4443, 4647, 6769, 6993 kHz. They may be running open carriers only
without IDs or anything, but too weak to be sure. Can anyone confirm
whether same ones are still going on 6993?

Closest hits on HF Underground are complaints about a carrier on 6993
QRMing a naughty pirate call on 6995 in 2016, 2017. No significant
hits on call or frequency at UDXF iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2044 monitoring: confirmed Monday
July 27 from 1800:47.5 on IRRS via BULGARIA 7290, usual VG signal at
UTwente SDR and also usual inevitable worble from 7291 and splash from
7280 & 7300. Open carrier at tune-in 1756; a few sex before 1759 JIP
fragment of talk about pandemic; few sex before 1800 cut to IRRS
sign-on with P O Box in Milano, Feature Story News from Washington,
headlines only before WOR start. Seems running intact until recheck
just before 1830, my last few words ironically chopped off after
``when I conclude`` before I can finish ``with a standard
disclaimer``. Nevertheless, it still applies.

Also confirmed UT Tue July 28 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, S5-S9 but JBA
direct; good at UTwente. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE
