Glenn Hauser logs July 21, 2021

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Wed July 21 at 1510, LRA36 is on again this Wednesday, JB audible S3 via Campo SDR, the only Brazilian online today; 1514 ID, 1520 & still past 1526, but off by 1541 recheck. Meanwhile, not getting it at all were Uruguay, Argentina, Chile and Iceland Kiwis. Off circa 1530 is sometimes normal but nominally 11-13 Arg. time = 14-16 UT; Manuel Méndez, Spain, notified me at 1451, ``Hola Glenn, me informan de Base Esperanza que están con tormenta de 80 nudos, y que en cualquier momento se puede cortar la señal.`` --- Esperanza Base informs me they have a storm with 80-knot winds and signal might be cut off at any moment`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 4748 & 4783 approx., July 21 at 0150, weak scratchy spurblobs minus/plus 17-18 kHz out of 4765 R. Progreso, which is active 0030-0400 only. Seems no one else reports these; no one cares about spectrum pollution from Cuba? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Lower one also QRMs CODAR, but new 4790 WBCQ barely lux out, far enough away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6974.9, July 21 at 0125, JBA music, presumed Nowhere Radio, previous pirate on this off-frequency, but always very weak here and tough to ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also unID 6885

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2095 monitoring: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna random long wires in the trees, reports:

Next WOR 2096 should be ready by early UT Friday July 23 for first broadcasts at 0130 on WRMIs 5850 & 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, July 21 at 0126, JBA carrier still here maybe from Caribbean region. Never any modulation nor AFAIK as heard by anyone else. Wonder if ROCV Venezuela, gone from 6205 and ex-6906 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5151.0, July 21 at 0127, another JBA carrier to intrigue us. Not likely related to WTWW 5085 spurs which inhabit 5072 & 5098 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6885, July 21 at 0027, JBA carrier suspect NAm pirate as a pirate frequency previously; but still at 0124, 0153, 0559! So likely something else. HFU has no reports on 6885 at this time, since July 18 in the daytime, a Radio Pushka heard via remote in NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2220 UT July 21
