[HCDX] About LRA36



Manuel MÃndez
Lugo, Spain

ANTARCTICA, LRA36 Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza. Days ago I published this news about the station:

"Due to the mail I have received from LRA 36 saying that this station will return to the air on 27th July, I am trying, since then, to pick up this station all days between 1950 and 2020 UTC, the best slot time to received it here in the North West of Spain, but I heard nothing, only one day I got a very weak carrier on 15.476.0 during five or six minutes. Yesterday, I sent a new e-mail to the station, asking if they really are now on air, and here is the answer:
âEstimado Manuel, la transmisiÃn ya comenzà la semana pasada, y es mas, tuvimos un informe de reception desde Taranto-Italia. Atte. Sergio Luceroâ".
They confirm that the transmission began past week and they had had a reception report from Taranto-Italy."


About this news, I have received e-mail from Antonello Napolitano, Taranto-Italy denying he had heard LRA36 recently.Â
Here is his e-mail:

"Dear Manuel,

There is a big misunderstanding in the message you received from LRA36,
Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel. The "Informe de recepcion" "desde
Taranto-Italia" was sent from under-signed on 24th July 2015 but it
wasn't a recent reception report but just a follow-up about a very old
reception occurred on 30th March 1999 which has remained unanswered all
the time.

Just to avoid any kind of discussion, I am attaching picture of
"Respuesta de Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel recibida el 30 de
marzo de 1999" in other words the e-mail I received just from Sergio
Lucero from which is quite evident that I didn't sent a reception report
about recent transmissions, which also I tried to catch but,
unfortunately, without any success!

Just for sake of good order it should be mentioned that the e-mail from
Sergio Lucero was including a doc file showing a picture of Base
Antartica Esperanza and the following text: "Estimado SeÃor Antonio
Napolitano:Tenemos el agrado de saludarlo y agradecerle las molestias
que se ha tomado y el tiempo que ha dedicado para la escucha de nuestra
Emisora radial âLRA 36 ArcÃngel San Gabrielâ. Desde el Continente Blanco
âANTARTIDA ARGENTINAâ le damos un cordial saludo y un enorme
agradecimiento por sus molestias. Atte: Tcnl Fernando Gabriel ESTEVEZ â
Jefe de base Esperanza/Director de LRA 36. Sarg 1ro Sergio Alejandro
LUCERO â Encargado de la Emisora LRA 36/Operador TÃcnico".

Last but not least I didn't divulged any information about that e-mail
correspondence between LRA36 and the undersigned because, in my opinion,
their E-mail and file.doc attachement are not a true QSL.

Antonio Napolitano
Taranto Italy
DXer as from 1981"

And my reply:

"Dear Antonello:

Thank you very much for your mail. Looks like the station staff are absolutely lost and don't know what happen in their station.
I think, despite Lucero says, LRA36 is not on air now, no report from anything and I have good conditions to catch it here, but nothing all days.
In the winter months LRA36 was on air a lot of days, but I think not now.
Greetings from Spain"

And reply from Antonello:

"I agree with you 100%. They acknowledged my follow up but forgot to verify it (and that would not be impossible if log station was no more available as I attached a recording). They said to you they got a report from Italy for a recent transmission and instead it was a follow up for a transmission of 1999! I think you are right: They never went back on air on 27th July 2015 as planned!

Saludos desde Taranto en el Sur de Italia

Antonello (Officially Antonio!) Napolitano"
