one, INDIA full of inactive or kaput domestic and externals:

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 20 at 1534, LRA36 on again for a
Wednesday broadcast; of four KiwiSDRs in Brasil, best via Campo tho
only S3-S5, less buzzclick QRM than the others, OTH radar? Not local
to any of them. Later abating. 1538 ``sign-on`` routine in middle of
transmission, ``a partir de ---``, for miércoles 11-13 broadcast =
14-16 UT, also on 96.7 FM; history of station from 1979 -- or 1969?
And claiming to be first broadcast station in Anta.; but when did AFAN
start? Never mind the Yanquis. Says initially on 6036 kHz, meaning
6030? Raised power to 10 kW and moved permanently to ``15476 AM`` ---
no, it`s NOT AM, and now it`s NOT 10 kW, admittedly 700? watts. More
usual mix of songs, talkbits and frequent IDs such as 1555; chopped
off at 1607*, a minute before Campo SDR times out for reload, still
off.
Meanwhile, the 2022 crew for LRA36 has been selected, for the first
time all-female. Does this mean, about to close down for the summer
until Feborso? Via Manuel Mendez, WOR iog where it`s Englished:

This got the FM frequency wrong, ``97.6`` instead of 96.7 as I heard
it and as also in WRTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 20 at 0140, RHC at S9+10/20 of dead air.
Something`s always wrong at RHC; 5025 & 4765 are nominal.
5040, Oct 20 at 0553, RHC is off already instead of 0600+ in Spanish
last night, clearing for JBA carrier presumably VANUATU (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMREICA. 6930-USB, Oct 20 at 0050, rock music at S9; 0054
unreadable announcement and off. No logs here but unID from 0101:

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 17895.070, Oct 20 at 1412, Qur`an JBA from
always askew SRI/SBA, and about to dub it the OSOB till I detect a JBA
carrier on 17770, which should be TURKEY in Arabic; thus the upperone
rates SSOB status only. No sign of other Sa`udi carriers supposedly on
16m now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 3370.5-USB, Oct 20 at 0128, 6TX1, MARS net designator
fonetikaly, and AFA6DT, the NCS calling some other AF- stations,
without great success; lingo of ``roger`` and ``wilco`` -- the
opposite of ``wonco`` are uttered, then nothing more.
This frequency net last logged UT Fri March 18, 2016y at 0125, with
different calls as in:
https://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1612.txt
The MARS link then no longer worx:
http://www.afmars.net:8080/qilan/MARS/list_RMS_stations
and a broad search now on AFA6DT gets only one significant hit:
https://www.dxfuncluster.com/spots/AFA6DT
log by WS5ADV OKC: ``WS5ADV [Usuario de LOTW] 5332.0 [kHz] AFA6DT 60m
Interop Net Ham-MARS 17:00 01-May-21`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 5040, Oct 20 at 0553, JBA carrier in early absence of RHC,
suspect RV which appears to be stuck on this frequency only at all
hours instead of 4 others as sequentially registered with HFCC for
B-21. Port Vila sunset less than an hour away at 0649. Sob, if only
they would resumed 11835 as 3 x 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4940, Oct 20 at 0554, S9/+20 open carrier past hourtop
to 0602* --- seems too strong for Maicao Montana missionaries, but no
sign of that signal under it. Maybe testing a power increase? Also too
strong for VOA Botswana or São Tomé, compared to 4960 STP in fadey
dead air at only S9/S6; also far too early for China on 4940 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
