** 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 CRI relay aimed thisaway, which is finished at 0500. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAO TOME. 15400.072, June 8 at 0605, S2/S4 in French. It`s BBC at 0600-0630 & 0700-0800; off-frequency via USAGM Pinheira. Something`s always shifty in São Tomé (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, June 8 at 1859, WRMI explaining something about Islam, SMTV? cut off for ID, and 1900 VOA news; 1905 to music fill 1916 the great solo `cello piece; no VOA editorial today but finally 1930 back to VOA news relay prior to `Flashpoint: Ukraine` at 1935. VG into Maryland SDR. Topix expand to China vs Uighurs at 1946; risk of cyberattax upon US (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
