Explains derivation of Antártida from original Greek, Anta. song, 1545 brief weather conditions, this is program #19, 1550 mostly music until 1601* chopped off air abruptly during tune. This time I did not try to detect whether reduced carrier linger (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, May 19 at 0615, RHC English is S9+20/30 of big humbuzz only, no program modulation. 6100 is also dead air of S9+10/20 and light humbuzz at same pitch; then bits of modulation cutting on and off, and the same on 6060 before gone again. Wiggle that patchcord. All these are off now: 6165, 6145, 6000, 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MALI. 5995, May 19 at 0613, no signal from ORTM; I don`t often bother to log it while it`s there every night; propagation OK with 7254.9 Nigeria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, Wed May 19 at 2215, token English from REE is VG into VA SDR going from Hallelujah Chorus to a Basque accordionist laced with anti-war comments in English, et al. Then a Piazzola tango at 2225. With such VG signals it`s fun to listen in SAS mode, i.e. synchro artificial stereo --- except the SAM+ modes on all the Kiwis I`ve tried are marred by clix every few sex (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, May 19 at 2214, VOT English is on today with music at quick check via VA SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
