** ANTARCTICA [and non]. 15475.98-CUSB, March 27 at 1535, LRA36 is on for its Saturday repeat of Wednesday, as first heard via Brasília SDR where I can ``camp`` tnx to another user in Salvador already tuned to it; later when they quit I take it over myself.

Most or all of the other RXs are tuned to ham frequencies, primarily ``WSPR-autorun`` -- what`s that about, tying up so much bandwidth? Weak Signal Propagation Reporter, ``whisper``: https://hackaday.com/2021/03/25/the-50-ham-wspr-ing-around-the-world/ Tnx to Clara Listensprechen for that link.

LRA36 is only S2-S3 with music, then concluding program saying it will repeat Saturday at 15 horas --- voilà, ou voici. By 1539 the Esperanza song. 1542 ``sign-on`` again with LRA36 and Radio Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel IDs, in Spanish, German, English, and Russian? Music, and 1549 the quadrilingual IDs again; mentions Día Mundial del Agua = World Water Day; when is/was that? March 22: I am totally in favor of H2O! I find it very useful, even essential, every day: https://www.worldwaterday.org/ Then Esperanza/Antártida song, greeting from the 17th program = décimosétimo. As was mentioned on miércoles.

By 1555, some ACI has arisen from Chinese music on 15480. Now I can get on Pardinho SDR and listen to it directly. Traditional but unsounds like Firedragon, rather typical end-of-hour filler. No announcements until cut modulation and 1600* a few seconds later cut carrier. Nothing to account for this, not even as jammer, in B-20 or A-21 schedules. It`s already A-21 in China, after midnight? Not really, 01 UT March 28 is the official start everywhere.

15475.98 at 1601, LRA36 is S5-S7 into Pardinho but by 1609 I notice it`s gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15480 unscheduled: see ANTARCTICA [and non]

** CUBA. 15230, March 27 at 1505, S9/+10 of dead air, still on after presumed nominal 1500*. 15140 is S9+10/20 somewhat undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 341-MCW kHz, March 27 at 0545 UT, Enid`s EI NDB is silent again after brief reactivation yesterday. Now hearing only OIN, Oberlin KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2079 monitoring: confirmed Saturday March 27 at 1322, the 1300 on WRMI 15770, good S9+10 today instead of JBA.

** U S A. 15825, 13845, 12160, 9980, March 27 at 1827, all four WWCR frequencies are vacant. The top two may be JBA carriers in the daytime, but the lower two should be audible if on. 12050 WEWN at similar megameter distance is VG, having escaped tornado outbreak. What`s wrong? Blitzortung shows lightning storm right over mid-Tennessee, and a worse one along the TN/NC border. WWCR closed down as precaution, or has it been stricken? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
