** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, June 10 at 1324, KBS World Radio so-called NAm
service in English is nearing its solsticial peak, a hefty S4-S7 into
deep North America, about COVID-19, vax stats in ROK; 1351 in a
travelogue about hiking around Jeju Island at sunrise; now it`s S7-S9;
1400 into Korean hour. Most of the year this emission is a JBA carrier
or less, because it`s far too high a band for a mostly-dark
high-latutude path, but which is now getting max insolation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2090)

** SPAIN. 17855, June 10 after 2200, REE to NAm is holding up well;
Thursday is a day skipping English, but what`s on in Spanish? `Amigos
de la Onda Corta`, with the familiar voice of Antonio Buitrago, who
got a promotion to run the station. I missed the first few minutes,
but this edition is an interview about ``derecho de acceso`` at RTVE
itself. It seems this is an issue about various groups getting airtime
at the domestic public broadcaster; and there is now a bureaucratic
procedure for making their case via a form on the website.

With `shortwave` in its name, this has been classified as a `DX`
program, and the outro does mention DX among other topix, but as much
as I have been familiar with it, axual DXing and SW have seldom been
covered, rather media in the broadest sense. There is a huge archive
of podcasts like all their other programs, 371 of these here with
titles for each, not about SW or DX in the first two pages inspected:
https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/amigos-de-la-onda-corta/
Most of them are a little too long to fit into 30-minute slots.

The page header shows airtimes, but altho in UT are obviously keyed
for winter time, now one UT hour earlier than: ``Amigos de la onda
corta --- Jueves a las 17.00 y 23.00 horas, viernes a las 02.00 horas
y sábados a las 13.00 horas UTC``

I do notice that none of them including this one are to be found in
the WWDXC A21 schedule of SWL/Media Programs in English, German,
Spanish,

GREECE   From the experiences of the last 3 decades, with ERT engineers and
their intimate information for the crowd, the Greek National community
living in North America and their given detailed information in the past,
which had a lot of close relationship contacts to ERT has or had in Greece
homeland,
- I guess -
one of the remaining two 100 kW Marconi units working now
- after repair work - properly again.
...  - and the - only - single 250 kW Continental unit that recently ERT had
been using
{as reserve at reduced power of 170 kW only on very special occasions}
had always shown these 'nervous overloaded audio faults' in past decades.

As it that unit that developed a fault recently?
And - yes - it has been replaced with one of the 100 kW Marconi(?) -
now recently repaired units.
The Greek in Avlis never erected the remaining other four US-Continentals
out of US IBB RFE Portugal fundus - and was a gift by the US govt -
in the past - in mid 90ties.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the nuances of this message. ERT
has or had, whether working or not, 2 100 kW Marconi units and up to 5 250
kW Continental units. I presume that recently ERT had been using one of the
250 kW units on 9420 kHz at reduced power (WRTH says 170 kW). Was it that
unit that developed a fault recently? And has it been replaced with one of
the 100 kW Marconi units? Are all of the Continental units now defective?
Thanks in advance for straightening me out.

** CUBA. 5040, June 8 at 0605, S9+20 of dead air from RHC; the rest of
The Cuban Five: 6165 is also dead air in English, S9+10. 6100 is off;
6060 humbuzz; 6000 still on. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13638 & 13762 approx., June 8 at 1413, weak spurblobs with F#
tone but no program modulation, out of modulated 13700-AM RHC Spanish,
at plus/minus ~62 kHz offsets; but no further multiples audible.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA [non]. In order to cite a precise cutoff time of the q.v.
UGANDA [non] on 15170, I then tune the same UTwente to 9996 for RWM to
calculate how much internet delay there may be and also as a correxion
factor for my watch. No timesignals audible on 10000, but RWM is quite
good. Unfortunately it`s running a continuous carrier 1534-1538. What
good is that, when it could be ticking or pipping?? 1538 silence; 1539
the minute of RWM CW IDs over and over. 1540 resumes pips, some
doubled, with extended one at tops of minutes such as 1541:000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UGANDA [non]. And I do mean non! Another check of 15170 with test
transmissions at 1500-1530, Tue June 8: tune-in 1501 via UTwente,
seems the same technically as other days despite far different IRRS
``MIL`` azimuth registered for Tuesdays only. Is on exactly 15170.000,
a datum which might in itself be significant in pinning it on a site.
But today, not a word about Uganda politix! Instead country/rock songs
in English at first, S9+15; 1510 cut to `Astronomy-cast`, weekly
program #605, informal discussion between unID OM host and YL expert
Pamela, first about telescopes on rockets. Keeps going until chopped
off the air at 1529:04*.

This is typical IRRS programming, presumably continuous on webcast,
pulling fragments of various webprograms/podcasts at odd times to fill
out the ``schedule``. Most of them probably unaware of their worldwide
SW audience! Now will there be anything on Wednesday, the only DOW
skipped in HFCC registrations?

Here`s that podcast, total time 1:00:35:
http://www.astronomycast.com/2021/05/ep-605-sounding-rockets/
leads to YouTube where we may also see the duo in split-screen

** U S A [and non]. 12050, June 8 at 1528, WEWN Spanish is back here
after several days on 12040, so it my collide again with Ndarason at
19-21. Current EiBi as of June 5 already had them moved to 12040. Tnx
to tip from Rick Barton, AZ.

Just after 19 UT I explore how they share/collide via various remotes:
Bonaire, only WEWN VG; Buenos Aires, and Namibia, neither! TWR South
Africa is always ``blocked`` when I go to it; is it just me, or
everyone? There are no remotes anywhere near Chad, but Kuwait is
getting Ndarason only, well from Woofferton.

After 2000 I check 12050 on the portable PL-880 here: WEWN is atop but
considerable QRM from RNI/WOF underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6115, June 9 at 0040 and still 0044, dead air from WWCR-1,
or rather occasional traces of distorted modulation peaks. Wiggle that
patchcord! How can anystation expect anyone to listen, or more
pertinently, anyone to pay for airtime, when no one at the station
itself is constantly monitoring to be sure there are no problems??
Scheduled during this hour is `Financial Survival`, ha2, tsk2.
Refund? Now entering 33rd year on air, act still not together.

WWCR traditionally modifies its transmission schedule by June, and the
current one dated May 29-August 31 is now shown at
https://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
Nothing exciting, but there may have been some shifts in timespans of
the same old frequencies; I have not tried to compare with the
previous one, no longer exhibited (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
