** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, June 10 at 2034, LRA36 is S5 into Argentine SDR, all music now, another Saturday broadcast which Manuel Méndez, Spain was hearing direct from *1743 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. Replies to my inquiry how to pronounce that town in Ontario I DXed on 96.5 FM, also mentioned on WOR 2194: ``On your program you reported hearing the CBC French station from Penetanguishene ON. Great DX catch. I lived up in that area for several years and used to listen to it often. I don't understand any French but some of the musical programs were good. The pronunciation of the town's name is sort of like this. Pena - tang - guishene (rhymes with machine) - Doug Brown, London ON`` ``Hi Glenn, Vern from Toronto here. I’ve recently returned to SWL/DX’ing after a lengthy absence. Sad to find that so many beloved stations are now gone, but gratified that you’re still doing your excellent work. Enjoyed the program back in the ‘70s and am enjoying it now! Anyway, it’s pronounced peh-na-TANG-wish-een. Often shortened by locals to Penetang (PEH-na-tang). Listen, here: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Penetanguishene.ogg I’ve never been there, because I don’t drive and public transport to small towns in Ontario is practically non-existent. It looks quite picturesque, though. Amazing that you heard an FM station from there in Oklahoma!

Roberto Álvarez Quiñones Miami 03 Jun 2023 - 17:55 CEST No one is surprised by the collapse that baseball has undergone in every way in Cuba, a national sport since the last quarter of the nineteenth century, long before the country's independence. The most visible cause of this decline in Cuba is the unstoppable exodus of players, who emigrate from the country almost daily. But this cause, in turn, has another greater one: the terminal crisis of Castroism-Communism... https://diariodecuba.com/deportes/1685807712_47598.html See also: The best thing a baseball player can do to help the sport in Cuba is emigrate https://diariodecuba.com/deportes/1676917648_45347.html (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 15140 & 11760, June 9 at 1539 & 1542, NO signals direct from the only two midday frequencies supposedly from RHC. 15770 WRMI weak as usual, but 15555 USB WJHR and 15825 WWCR plenty big with sporadic E boost.

My best measurements direct but checking Missouri SDR at 1558 I get 15136.002, 15140.002 and 15144.002, an even more perfect match. At 1825 I check the calibration of that on WWV 15000 and find it right on with slight variations plus/minus fraxion of 1 Hz, surely receiver not transmitter instability. At 1830+ RHC 15140 has double audio feed, Spanish atop; the other maybe scheduled Creole, and now are slightly mostly on minus side of each. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, June 13 at 1527, no signal from RHC, but this time 11760 is still on. Propagating on 19m are US 15825, 15770, 15750-DRM and barely 15555 USB. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11670, June 14 at 0628, RHC English once again on secret frequency, S9+10/20 direct with some squeal on the modulation, sports report about baseball.

Another sporadic-E FM DX opening, Saturday June 10 from 1652 to 1926 UT. Starts with isolated opening from Utah, soon lots of Mexicans from Yucatán, Campeche, at least. I start at 1630 UT as area tropo is also up from KS, OK with some stations not normally audible, into north Texas, which means more QRM than usual on `open` DX frequencies. Such non-Es logs are included, to note or reconfirm branding. To boot, two major local signals from Enid are off the air: 95.7 and 107.1! Es FM DX: gotta take it whenever it decide to happen! In the not too hot garage, on the Nissan Sentra 2004 stock caradio with fender vertical antenna only, so no antenna manipulation but disfavoring any horizontal-only stations, if any; all logs in real time with my own ears, one frequency at a time, no RDS capability, no recording, no internet for stream comparisons; but research later from my scribbled notes, mainly the excellent WTFDA FM Database, also in general searching if needed. All times strictly UT! Numbers just before geo coordinates are kW ERP and antenna height above average terrain in meters. Identical horiz and vert figures, u.o.s. Last figures are distances in km/stmi city-to-city so approx., not site-to-city, from distancefromto.net. Showing distance does not necessarily make a log more definite, but FYI. This time I bother with distances only for the Mexicans. I do not count stations, states or anything, what`s `new` or not, and am not in a competition. Each DX log I view as a potential learning experience.

Researching and compiling this report not completed until 2355 UT Monday June 12; by when there have been more big Es FM DX openings on Sunday June 11, 1742-1816 & 2058-2409 UT mostly from eastern US, Monday June 12, 0243-0325 from north; all of which will take me a few more days to compile (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR) ** U S A. Sporadic E FM DX: As of late UT June 14: Am still working on compiling the big June 11-12 openings. Nothing June 13.

Vanuatu S8/9+10 continues unusually strong with island music, BB talk, eclipsing 250? kW neighbor 7255- Nigeria axually on at same signal level but just barely modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2194) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 9 at 0626, after a spate of regularity, NO signal now from R. Vanuatu, nor on other possibilties 5040, 7890, 11835. In the British DX Club, Tony Rogers agrees at 2106 June 9: ``After several days of good reception being reported of Radio Vanuatu on 7260 kHz between 1830v UTC sign-on and 1100v UTC sign-off (with seemingly no frequency changes in-between), it appears that they are missing again with no trace of them today (9 June) from 1830 UTC on 7260 kHz or their two alternative frequencies of 3945 (and harmonics) and 5040 kHz (checked using the Brisbane KiwiSDR in Australia). 73's Tony`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, June 12 at 0656 in Bislama/English commercials, S9/+10 direct; and still around 0720, R.

Note Ron Howard`s comment about what often airs circa 0630: ``Also of interest is the often heard at 0630 UT "Service Message Announcement" program, recently well heard in Bislama with a public notice to anyone entitled to property from the estate of a named deceased person (died 15th May 2001); the message was authorized by the court; program always starts and ends with distinctive indigenous drums; this program is not heard daily, but is frequently aired.
