** CUBA. My April 16 6100 item wrote EHC instead of RHC; repair (gh)

** U S A. The second graf of my WBCQ/AAAWWW report started with a
mistime, 0109 instead of 0009 UT. Please correct if quoting (gh)

==========

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sat Apr 17 at 1437 tune-in via CX8BIT
remote, LRA36 is on with music at S5-S6; weaker S3-S4 into Campo,
Brasil, but better S/N so stay on it there: here`s one station not
carrying Prince Philip`s funeral! 1440 OM ID as ``Nacional Antártida
Argentina, en todo el país, la radio pública`` and music; 1451 same ID
by YL; 1457 RNASG/LRA36 ID and talk, still past 1510; long chronology
of scientific, literary events from at least 1945y onwards, a
`this-day-in-history` feature? Little if anything to do with Antda.
Why don`t they tell us about their scientific research, if any?

Finally ID with e-mail, URL, FB contact info; and frequencies 15476,
FM 96.7 at Esperanza Base. 1517 music; 1520 ID, music; 1523.5 another
LRA36 ID, music past 1530. 1532 contact info again. 1534 a song.
1537.5 ID and talk, ID for 15476.

1538 re-start as if signing on in Spanish, German, English ---.
Antártida song until 1542. 1550 different song, 1554.5 radio pública
ID, etc., etc., more songs past 1612. 1630 contact info. 1633 about
1982 Malvinas war anniversary. Were Antarctic bases somehow involved?
S Sandwiches were conquered and then lost. It lasted 10 weeks from 2
April, so we have 8 more weeks of commemoration? Lots more objective
history here, including which side other countries supported:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War
By 1640 it`s S1-S3 into Brasília #1 SDR, but quite readable, more
Malvinas recollexions. 1708 still going later than usual, contact info
and 1711 closing with Antda song, ID to 1713 when it ``signs-on`` yet
again in Spanish, German, English; and fourth language, maybe Russian
but most of the bit is pronouncing the names in Spanish anyway. 1716
Antda song *again*, welcoming us to another Wednesday program in the
2021 series, and *again* going over the Malvinas war and its
aftermath. Still2 going past 1745.

BTW, I did not get it checked on Wed Apr 14 morning when LRA36 was
probably on, but no other reports of it then (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, April 17 at 0556, this RHC is S9+20 of dead air in
English except for some squeal. 6165 is also S9/+20 but modulating
somewhat underly. 6060 is S9+30 without humbuzz. 6000 equal. 5040 off.
By 0622, only 6100 squeal and 6165 remain. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13630, April 17 at 1420, weak spurblob out of 13700-AM RHC
which is only S8-S9. Cannot be sure of a match around 13770, and the
Part 15 pulsers on 13560 are unimpeded. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.9+, April 17 at 0603, VON on here for second day,
S9+20. I was not noticing it just before 0600 when concentrating on
adjacent 7260 for Vanuatu, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, April 17 at 1424, REE early start on Sat, but N
American frequency is only JBA over total-day path (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2082 monitoring: missed checking

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5010, April 17 at 0617, S9+10/20 open carrier. Surely it`s
WRMI-14, which is supposed to quit at 0430, except Sun & Mon to 0600
but this is Sat. Like 5800 WRMI-10 sometimes shows up carriering this
late at night, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, April 17 at 0557, JBA presumed R. Vanuatu X1 about
to QSY? Nothing yet on X3 11835. 7260 cuts off at 0559:05*, and in the
few seconds it takes me to retune to 11835, that frequency is already
activated by 0559:25, with much better S4-S9 signal, continuous YL
Bislama talk, and no news theme heard. 3945 X2 on 7890 is JBA carrier;
X4 on 15780 unheard yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4738-4744, April 17 at 0612, some kind of utehash over
this range, no central carrier; first sounds somewhat musical, as if a
pirate, but can`t get it to resolve anywhere by USB or LSB tuning.
Strong S9+10, nonesuch heard before, atop CODAR swishes. Probably US
military (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1750 UT April 17
