** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday June 29 from 1430 on Buenos
Aires remote, no signal until *1447 LRA36 cuts on amid song and
nothing but musical préludes until 1500 sign-on, multi-lingual, in
Ciclo Radial 2022, staff list. 1502 Antártida theme song. 1505 YL
about Base Esperanza, population, school for some kids, again claims
falsely to be first SW station in Antarctica. 1507 `Sounds of Silence`
song with Spanish lyrix mentioning Antártida.
1509 starts being hit by noise bursts several times per minute at S7 =
covering LRA36 as that is max peak of their SSB modulation. OTH radar,
or jamming? Amid it at 1511 an ID, ``su compañía``. This is program #9
of the 2022 cycle. 1514 SR/SS times as 10:30/15:10. Contact info with
phone numbers, etc. Abruptly chopped off air at 1518* and not heard
further. The QRM could not be discerned on the wideband waterfall, but
I checked just above and below: audible on 15480, audible but weaker
tuned to 15470. Then it`s no longer heard either by 1537 when I give
up. Maybe the Saturday repeat will not be curtailed and/or jammed?
People are reporting getting eQSLs signed by the four woman staff.
Kari Kallio`s, Finland, says power is 300 watts to a rhombic. However,
Manuel Méndez, Spain, who usually can detect it direct at S1 level,
got one too, as a reply not to a reception report but to an inquiry he
sent before they ever resumed broadcasting, citing the date and time
of his mail, when they certainly were not on air:
``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain --- I had one too, a very special one,
from a nonexistent transmission. On May 2, at 1023 hours, I sent them
an email asking when the transmissions would start this season. We all
know that they started a few days later, on Saturday, May 7. Well, a
few days ago I received a QSL from LRA 36, confirming that I had
listened to them on May 2 at 1023 hours. I reply that this QSL is
incorrect, because that day they had no broadcast, and I simply sent
them an email asking when they would start transmission this season.
They answer me
"Good evening... we are sending the QSL according to the emails
listeners send... and you sent us an email at that time that we send
you a QSL with the date and time you sent us the email."
I send them another mail telling them that to send a QSL it had to be
from a certain program and they have to have a reception report,
explain to them what a reception report is, and also that they cannot
send confirmation by a simple mail in which they are asked a question,
and my QSL was false and did not correspond to reality. I no longer
get an answer. Here is a compressed file of my very special eQSL about
an nonexistent transmission...``
It seems their QSLs are worthless, just acknowledgments without any
checking or vetting. (I wonder if same applies to the no-data
automatic? eQSLs BBCWS has started for filling out a webform? Try it
with a non-frequency and see what happen) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. June 28 at 2310-2330, no Es DX now to FM band MUFs but a few

measure to fraxion of kHz. Slightly better S/N on N/S shortwire than
on loop. Some conclude with grid square but not copied; as listed in
