** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wednesday June 8 at 1454, LRA36 is
already on with music prélude, S3/S7 into Argentine SDR. 1500 canned
sign-on in languages, Antártida song. 1508 YL with live-sounding
opening, mentioning staff names, for this program #6 of the season.
Usual mix of historical info, conversation, contact info, etc. But I`m
too busy to detail or follow past 1532 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, June 8 at 0614, RHC English! S9+10/20 and suptorted;
also JBA & JBM parasite carrier spurs on 11840 & 11860, encountered
whilst checking for missing 11835 Vanuatu. 11850 at this hour is
totally bonkers. Aoki shows it at 22-06 in Spanish but not heard as
late as 0600; EiBi shows 21-05. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
Otherwise in English 0615+: 6000 S9+10/20 weather, suptorted but
better than 11850; 6060 S9+10/20 with hum; while 6100, 6165 and 5040
are all off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9790, June 8 at 0623, huge open carrier S9+20/30. Got to be

GLENN HAUSER`S EQUIPMENT. Some editors keep reproducing out-of-date

Other primary is JRC NRD-545. I have several portables but the only
ones in regular use as backup or mobile are Tecsun PL-880 and Radio

Welcome, NS9RC is the club call of the North Shore Radio Club near
Chicago. Our club's web site is: ns9rc.org

To help discover 10M band openings, the NSRC has operated a
propagation beacon on 28.297 MHz since 2001. It is located at the
Heller Nature Center in Highland Park, IL about 27 miles north of
downtown Chicago. The beacon was built from a Radio Shack HTX-100
running 5 watts to a Cushcraft AR-10 half wave vertical. CW message
keying is performed by an Ultimate PicoKeyer. The 10M band is open a
lot more than you may think, even during periods of low sunspot
activity, so be sure to check the beacon portion of the band between
28.200 and 28.300 regularly, you may be pleasantly surprised with what
you hear. Reception reports on our beacon are always welcome and over
the years we have received them from over 30 countries and every
continent except Antarctica. We will gladly send a QSL card if
requested, please send your report to KK9H.

** U S A. 15770, June 7 at 1905, checking now 1-hour WRMI relay of
VOA, S9+5/10 into Maryland remote but sounds like a local: introducing
`International Edition` after presumed news, but cuts to music fill at
1908; VOA resumes at 1927 just in time for Editorial; 1930 news, 1935
`Flashpoint Ukraine` uncut today to 1959 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

OFF: station which alternated between weeks of 24h dead air and weeks
of 24h rock. Finally given up? We`ll hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, RV S8/S9 with YL in Bislama; 7890
has some JBA talk rather than JBA carrier; and even 15780 has a JBA
carrier, hard to believe it`s anything but RV on 4X 3945 as well as 3X
and 2X. 15780 has been reported by Pacificans. Now how about 5X =
19725? A remote westward into the dayside may be required. As for
11835, Ron Howard has posted some amazingly strong clips of it, you
would never guess were harmonic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report despatched at 0234 UT June 8

** CUBA. 13740, June 6 at 0358, RHC in Spanish S9+10 just before
cutting off at 0359* like MWV on 13760. EiBi agrees -0400* while Aoki
says -0500*. Sometimes it`s on much later accidentally in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, June 6 at 1502, RHC Spanish S7/S9 but suptorted =
suppressed and distorted modulation; only // 15140 is S9/+5 and merely
undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13760, June 6 at 0358 song in English, VG until cut off
at 0359*. Another station which does not feel obliged to ID at start
and finish of each broadcast! Scheduled is MWV, but confusing
contradixions about programming. EiBi says it`s African Pathways
Radio, to S Asia. But why would they be doing that, rather than KNLS
English hour which is Asian-orientated? HFCC agrees it`s on 40 degree
beam for CIRAFs 41 & 42S = S Asia, altho bigsig here implies it`s
really aimed thisaway across Africa. Aoki does not decide, just
English from WCB; and BTW, V of Korea [North] is also listed on 13760
at 03-04 in Spanish. Bulgarian DX Blog for A22 shows 03-04 on 13760 as
KNLS English at 40 degrees from MWV; while English from APR follows at
04-05 on 11825, also well heard here. It`s also quite possible that
Mahajanga mix up its azimuths and programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.4, June 5 at 2214, S9+26 carrier with tone locally
jamming the CB calling channel.

27185.6 & 27184.5, June 6 at 0354, S9+10 carrier with tone on local
groundwave, not clear which is carrier and which is tone. Zero-beating

America's metastatic cancer --- How rampant distrust is killing us

Schools. Churches. Synagogues. Supermarkets. The victims of the last
massacre, in Buffalo, were still being buried this week when another
disaffected young man armed with an assault weapon slaughtered 19
children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. So far this year, this
broken nation is averaging 10 mass shootings of four or more people
every week. The same country recently passed 1 million COVID deaths —
far more than any other nation.

Tens of millions of people believe the 2020 election was stolen, and
democracy itself stands on crumbling ground. Sharply conflicting
abortion laws will inflame the rancor between blue and red states.
Even the supposedly nonpartisan Supreme Court has split along the
seams, with justices openly expressing scorn and suspicion of the
enemy faction.

These are all symptoms of an underlying metastatic disease: a lack of
trust. The reason Australia had a per capita COVID death rate
one-tenth of ours, The New York Times recently reported, is that
Australians trusted their scientists, their government, and each
other, while Americans emphatically did not. In a very real sense,
900,000 Americans died of distrust.

Americans cannot trust that our kids will go to school without being
shot. We can't trust people to wear masks in a pandemic, because so
many insist they have a right to infect others. We can't pass sensible
gun-safety laws because some people passionately believe they need
weapons of war to defend themselves against government tyranny.

Many Americans no longer trust organized religion, corporations,
capitalism, their employers, or the media. We do not share a common
set of facts and values. We have self-sorted and retreated into our
own worlds, our own websites, social media feeds, cable networks, and
communities. Separated by impenetrable walls of tribal loyalty, we
cannot come together to solve our problems, even when they are killing
us. Thoughts and prayers.

This is the editor's letter in the current issue of The Week magazine.
