First it says that LRA36 started in 1982 at a different base, Marambio; then later it says it started in 1979 at Esperanza! It may be the `first and only` Antarctic station now, but of course there was AFAN, the US station at McMurdo for a number of years on 6012, which the Argies like to overlook.
Says the schedule is Tue & Thu only at 13-15 UT, due to energy conservation restrixions. That appears to be current, but also says power is 10 kW, while other reports said it is a 5 kW unit, and run at much less than that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Propagation proves the incompetence of the DentroCuban Jamming Command, leaving the nasties running all night and producing harmonix, spurs:
18090, Oct 25 at 0543, jamming, not just pulses, i.e. more than one, 3 x 6030 vs Martí
17865, Oct 25 at 0543, exactly same sound as 18090, 3 x 5955 vs. R. República, which is probably no longer on at this hour
13820, Oct 25 at 0546, pulse jamming long after R. Martí is off
9805, Oct 25 at 0551, slow pulse jamming at rate of 2 per second, against another absent Martí
9965, Oct 25 at 0552, pulses of 2 per second like 9805, but mixed with another faster one. Another non-used R. República frequency
9955, Oct 25 at 0552, similar to 9965, but R. Praga via WRMI holding its own (a bit earlier I looked for jammers on x 2 = 19910 but unheard; in fact think I`ve never caught them there even in daytime).
