Características que, sumadas a que se trata de una estación de Estado operada por personal militar del Comando Conjunto Antártico, la hacen única frente a otras radios. Por segundo año, Radio Nacional LRA 36 estará dirigida por un equipo profesional y técnico integrado exclusivamente por mujeres. Así lo anunció el Ministro de Defensa el pasado 7 de diciembre: El acto contó con la presencia de la Presidenta de Radio y Televisión Argentina, Rosario Lufrano, el Comandante del Grupo Antártico, Brigadier General Edgar Fernando Calandín, Adrián Korol, director de Radio Argentina en el Exterior, y Malvinas, Antártida y Atlántico Sur Secretario del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Guillermo Carmona. El nuevo equipo tomará el relevo de Romina Zabalza, María Eugenia Rodríguez, Claudia Beatriz Albarracín y Mariela Churquina, quienes ya llevan un año en el cargo. Además del servicio de FM local, LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel Gabriel tiene alcance internacional a través de onda corta. El objetivo de su programación es difundir la cultura argentina, pero sobre todo el trabajo de las Fuerzas Armadas en las bases antárticas, la labor de investigación científica y, fundamentalmente, el apoyo a la histórica reivindicación de soberanía del territorio antártico. La Estación Base Esperanza reflejará en su nueva parrilla el contenido cultural y científico argentino y, en particular, las actividades que se desarrollan en la Antártida. La emisora ​​tendrá, en enero, la matinal de Panorama Nacional de Noticias, a cargo del periodista Marcelo Ayala y su grupo de producción estará integrado por Lorena del Carmen Alvarado, María Victoria Menéndez, Noemí del Valle Cisneros, Ariadna Verónica Berrardo y Adriana Novakoski y la técnica de operación del cabo primero de la marina Nicole Valdebenito.

Stardate has been failing to appear at 9:58 am. Today at 10 am Friday, The Score, instead of 2 pm. Before 3 pm and from 3:07 pm, some unknown woman announcer with classical, from where? Unseems WCPE. Kimberly`s recorded top-of-hour KUCO ID. At 3:02, A Day to Remember instead of 3:06. Then Kent Anderson briefly as if he were live, before back to the unknown woman. She never gives her name nor hints what syndicated classical music service this is. Another try to hear Stardate at previously scheduled repeat 6:58 pm -- instead, `Exploring Music` is ending! Supposed? to start at 7 pm, but must now be at 6 pm. Then at 7 pm, Symphonycast, also an hour earlier than had been. Is the automation all screwed up? Or has the new boss decided to shake everything up without even telling us on the website schedule and playlists? As with canceling abruptly Weekend Radio? Regards, Glenn Hauser, Enid (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. As if in reply to my complaints, this appears at http://www.kucofm.com homepage Dec 10 from the new GM: ``What's Happening with KUCO Programming? Many of you have probably noticed some changes taking place with KUCO's programming. We recently upgraded our on-air systems (Thursday, December 8) to better serve our listeners with excellent performing arts programming and music throughout each day, evening, and overnight period. These new upgrades also benefit our dedicated staff in so many ways to assist in collecting and presenting those special programs to you. And as all good plans go, these new upgrades clearly "advanced" the need for us to adjust the scheduling of some of our favorite KUCO programs while adding a few new ones and removing others that have not been as popular based upon listener feedback and collected research. We are currently working to connect our website, mobile app, and new on-air system to provide playlist and program information. A weekly schedule of program times can be found here. https://www.kucofm.com/programs/program-schedule-grid/ We are also working quickly to schedule back in our module programs A Day to Remember, Composer's Datebook, StarDate, and BirdNote. Additionally, our new website will be launching very soon. We at KUCO appreciate your patience as we continue to make our upgrades, prepare to launch our new website, and provide excellent performing art music and programming to you. I would also like to thank those who have recently reached out to us by phone and email. As always, we love to hear from our listeners. Best, Jeff Hagy`` Meanwhile, at the start of one hour of generic classical I heard the distinctive voice of Peter van de Graaff IDing himself, https://radionetwork.wfmt.com/people/our-producers/peter-van-de-graaff/ so we know KUCO has turned over much (all?) of its classical programming to the WFMT network, as its logo is now at bottom of KUCO homepage; a.k.a. Beethoven network. It may sound a bit more `polished` than WCPE, and no longer distract us with Eastern timechex and North Carolina references. I`ve sent a note to WCPE about the change, and thanking them for all the great music they have provided overnight for many years via KUCO. https://theclassicalstation.org/ Inspecting the new program schedule from KUCO, it looks like WFMT is now being relayed not only overnight but mornings, middays and afternoons. Are KUCO`s own announcers being replaced??? That would be a shame! These blox now bear generic titles. And there is a new 3-hour jazz block M-F from 9 pm CT = Tue-Sat 03 UT. Goodbye to the 10 pm strip of syndicated shows such as `Music from the Hearts of Space`, Fridays. That survives, moved to 11 pm Saturdays. [All times in this item are CST = UT minus 6; altho half of OK including Enid should be on UT -7, meridianally. Yet there is talk of imposing UT -5 upon us permanently!] `Performance Oklahoma`, KUCO`s own produxion, survives, moved from 8 pm Wednesdays to 7 pm Thursdays, still repeated at 8 am Saturdays. Various programs from elsewhere occupy most time weekends, and jumbled around also for a 10-11 am block M-F. `Feminine Fusion` has been moved from 4:05 pm Sundays to 10 am Tuesdays. Lost in the shuffle is `Wind & Rhythm`, ex 3:05 pm Sundays, ``for those who love band music``. We can still access the latest and hundreds of previous shows at: http://www.windandrhythm.com/ Where that originates physically has been kept secret, but in past there have been clues as to: Tulsa. The new season of Saturday matinées from The Metropolitan Opera has just begun at 1800 UT Dec 10, still on KUCO, with a brand-new/unknown opera, ``The Hours``, Still unheralded on the websked but we hope still extant, is Lane Whitesell`s vocal-oriented anonymous fill music from the extremely variable ending of live Mets until 5 pm Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, continued from my last report about KUCO, Edmond/OKC. Normal Met Opera time is 18 UT Saturdays, not 17, as I slipped into CDT mode despite my best efforts. However, with extra-long opera = plural of opus, Met will advance start to 1730 or even 1700, a really annoying practice pre-empting other programming; instead of just lasting late as necessary. I am glad however to confirm that Lane Whitesell`s anonymous vocal-music-filler hours post-Met still exist. This week, over to him at 2125.5 UT. He starts with something by César Franck since Dec 10 is his birthday, and then two other b-day composers of atonal modern music. Relying on bdays as a programming method might seem a crutch, tho I myself have done it on WUOT. However, if one consult an exhaustive calendar, it`s a good way not to overlook composers, performers, perhaps premières, at least once every septayear, except for leap-year confusions --- if applied to a weekly program. New slightly modified branding is ``Oklahoma`s voice for the performing arts``. Unusually this Saturday afternoon, direct KUCO 90.1 signal was completely blotted by KHCC Radio Kansas, Hutchinson with tropo up. QRM from this is frequently a problem on various portable radios around here - they are also classical but also with considerable newstalk such as BBCWS overnight; currently in a pledge drive. A new one on the KUCO sked is `The Third Floor`, Sunday 9 am-noon CT. 10-11 am used to be occupied by quarterly series such as Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival - I sure hope KUCO finds some place for that when it come around again, likely Q2 2023, as lead-in for next year`s live fest July-August! What an odd name. Listening Sun Dec 11 at 1637 UT, it`s Bill Cromwell introducing Mahler`s 8th, so I search him out, finding him extremely bald: https://classicalthirdfloor.org/ ``The show is called The Third Floor because I imagine a third floor in some grand home, an upper level above the domestic, where you'd find a study, a library, a studio, and a music room, It's a place for contemplation, learning, exploration, reading, thought ... and attentive listening``. This two-sesquihour show comes from PRX, not WFMT. The long Mahler 8 is rudely interrupted at 1700 for KUCO ID, and then the *second* hour of Third Floor again, instead of third, as he says the Mahler will start in about half an hour; meanwhile, some Hovhannes! I listen to his Mahler intro the second time, and cringe again when he mispronounces ``Singverein`` as ``-reen``(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM: just as I feared, now that we are into weekday programming, Monday Dec 12, before 16 UT and after 18 UT whenever checked, we are no longer hearing the once-familiar voices of local classical announcers. The ``upgrade`` means outsourcing the DJing and most of the classical music programming. Don`t get me wrong: I have no complaints about the quality of music programming and announcing from elsewhere, but it`s a shame KUCO is giving up its identity. At a 1902-1904 UT break, however, Curt Timmons is still to be heard with local weather for OKC as well as the satellites in McAlester, Woodward. But then it`s back to ``Classical 24`` rather than his own presentation. His title is ``Announcement Coord``. He does the same at 2002-2004 UT. But at 2004.5, `Birdnotes` appears, upcut. These may be the spots for more modules now. No module in the 21 UT ToH newshole, but at 2103 local Kent Anderson introduces some Chopin --- so at least this hour it`s back to KUCO origination? All very confusing. No, that was a brief interlude. By 2107 it`s back to C24 with something else. Classical 24 originates with Minnesota Public Radio, not WFMT Chicago, tho I am sure I heard Peter van de Graaff, an announcer on WFMT`s Beethoven Satellite Network last week. Maybe KUCO is using both, or experimenting with both at the outset? Both of these try to sound ``local`` by being generic without ever mentioning their network! It appears that KUCO`s multi-thousand CD library is now largely redundant. See Wikipedia for more about Classical 24, including dismissing its only Black announcer for what he did after George Floyd`s murder by Minneapolis police. My initial impression of C24 is that it tends to play more shorter pieces, which allows plenty of breaks for `underwriting` commercials and promos. The weekday 3-5 pm bloc on KUCO used to accommodate some longer symphonies, etc. by not taking a break for anything at 4 pm. Not any more: after weather, Kent again gets to play only a snippet of Chopin fill music before back to net. KUCO DJs have plenty of experience with back-timing: fade up some music in progress so it will end just before a net join, as that is less jarring than starting at the beginning and having to fade it out. But some of the transitions are still abrupt. We are still awaiting info on resumption/rescheduling of several ``modular`` few-minute programs on KUCO which no longer fit into the clock, such as `StarDate`. Its own website provides free transcripts, but there is a price for hearing them unless a day later: https://stardate.org/radio/listen No doubt we could track down some other webcasting stations with StarDate at regular times. Own list shows 7 AM & PM daily on one other Okie, KGOU/KROU. KUCO never ran it on Sat/Sun, as if the Universe grind to a halt on American human weekends. For `A Day to Remember` we have to go to disgraced FB for update, also transcripts and illos not on the radio: https://www.facebook.com/ADayToRememberRadio/ ``A Day To Remember - Radio 2h · Greetings ADTR friends and fans! If you listen to the broadcast over the air on KUCO, there are a couple of schedule changes to note: the morning broadcast moves up five minutes, from 8:06 to 8:01 am. The afternoon show will now air at 5:01 pm rather than 3:01 [sic: it was 3:06]. Thanks for listening!`` It`s sort of like Paul Harvey`s TROTS = The Rest of the Story, leading up to a big reveal at the end. Heard more like 2302 UT Dec 12; spoiler alert: the first mo/tël! KUCO also used to air BBC news at certain hours, but no longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Don`t you believe that `StarDate` is on KGOU Norman and its satellites, daily at 7 AM & PM CST = 13 & 01 UT. Still not having located it on the `upgraded` KUCO, if at all, I bring up the KGOU stream at 0100 Dec 14. Instead, after the `Fresh Air` opening teaser, this news hole is filled by `National Native News` as on KGOU sked, with nothing specified for 7 AM. Looking again at the website, somewhat obscure is link to affiliates: https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates upon which is a USA map where you have to click on a state. Considering that all OK entries are wrong, I would not believe any without confirming. Guess what: publicradiofan.com doesn`t know of any, just as a podcast. Furthermore, StarDate website credits for show does not even mention the only voice we always hear, Billy Henry, ex-Sandy Wood. It does name several people behind the scenes in scripting and produxion. He is elsewhere on the site or search on his name. Next I try KUNM Albuquerque NM as it and all its relays are on the affiliate list: 7 pm [MST] except Sundays 6:30 pm - CONFIRMED, UT Wed Dec 14 at 0200 on KUNM webcast, even tho it is too insignificant to appear on KUNM`s own skeds, as if `Espejos de Aztlán` start at 7 pm sharp, lunes a viernes. Music after StarDate is certainly nothing Hispanic. O, on Tuesdays, `Home of Happy Feet` starts at 7 altho the title is `centered` as if it start an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Dec 12 at 1706 past 2400 UT, NO signal from K17JN-D, the 3ABN translator and Enid`s only local TV transmitter. Isn`t that unusual for a city of 50K, 100 km away from nearest major market? Was still on nominally as recently as yesterday with multiple TV and audio substations. No storming as an excuse for outage. No doubt it`s unpersonned, and may take a while for HQ to become aware and get a contract engineer out to fix it.

It gets absolutely no publicity in Enid: no newspaper listings, not on cable [tho 3ABN by satellite is somewhere on a high tier], and most Enidians unaware of it, or if they are, don`t know it`s really here.

Preview features about opera streaming service and another SBG player; 2301 news; 2307 about http://www.myoperaplayer.com from the Teatro Real in Madrid, but which also provides other performing arts, like theatre, ballet, concerts, flamenco. On demand also from other venues than Madrid. Has 2500 subscribers, 90,000 users around the world. HD quality video, audio. Due to COVID, they provide it free in Spain. 2324 on to football (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 12 at 2309, tokEnglish from REE, main feature by Justin Coe is interview about a new produxion in Madrid of Bellini`s opera `La Sonnambula`, 13 performances until January 6. 2324 more Mundial nonsense about some Spanish player. VG into Maryland so not even checking the other three or direct; but by 2348 in French, 9690 fading down considerably. Still no DX/mailbag program for months (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 14 at 2300, token English from REE, billboard of features starts with something about silly ballgame players, so I ditch it for TURKEY q.v. instead. But a quickcheck later finds it`s VG into Maryland SDR, while 12030 & 11940 are JBA and 11685 inaudible if it even be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 9 at 2302, VOT English VP direct, S9 but undermodulated; so I listen to SPAIN and a pirate instead. 2346 recheck, still VP, S4/S7 undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Dec 10 at 2332, VOT is VG S9+20/30 into UTwente, including considerable CCCCCCI from East Turkistan, std denunciation; while to Maryland SDR it`s S9/+5 with little CCCCCCI. Subject seems obesity. Oh2, 2359 still on with IS, Dec 11 0000 timesignal, simulblotted by *0000 The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY. The collision I have been predicting as on a random basis, TRT may keep going past 0000 for unscheduled German, as I can barely confirm in a few minutes, with XJPBS also still in the mix. Unknown when TRT cut off as I soon had enough of that. 0013 recheck, KBC seems to be solo. This will cease to be a problem from 2023y as KBC quits Nauen due to increasing cost - blame Putin? And moves to WRMI 5950, 22 hours later at 22-24 UT Sundays. Unfortunately there is a `collision` in program timings vs two of the most popular music shows on WBCQ 7490, Marion`s Attic and Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot! I`m amazed that program scheduling decisions are made in a vacuum without consideration for the competition from the listeners` POV. If we are stuck with that KBC time on RMI, a solution could be for WBCQ to move those two shows 24h earlier to 22-24 UT Saturdays -- strangely enough, the 7490 sked shows nothing at all between 20 and 24 Saturdays, so really available? How about it, UB? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Dec 12 at 2300, VOT S9+30 into UTwente but CCCCCCI already undergoing by 2305. After SPAIN, tuned over to here at 2325 as `New Day, New Choices` is ending, right into next segment with back-to-back themes, `Did You Know That?` about the first medical school ever, 700 BCE in Anatolia; briefly, and later, music. 2353 sign-off with jumbled but correct English schedule, 2355 only first few notes of IS before chopped off with no finesse, uncovering XJPBS ChiCom achieving S9/+10 all by itself but noisy on 5960.001 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Dec 13 at 2300, VOT VG S9+35/45 into UTwente with timesignal, English sign-on with jumbled sked, news; 2309 Review of the Tuerkiyish Press, by now with CCCCCCI making a medium SAH. VOT is somewhat undermodulated but sufficient on very strong signal and no hum or other extraneous self-imposed noises. 2315 `Weekly Commentary` by a guest prof, but I give up trying to understand it vs the reader`s heavy accent: something about Xi and China. 2352 sign-off and 2353 IS stays on a while for a change. 2356 starts interspersing IDs in GERMAN twicemal per minute. 2358* chops off totally uncovering the ChiCom at only S9/+5, also on 5960.002 but still with that medium SAH which must be caused by some other carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001, Dec 14 *from a few seconds before 2300 timesignal, VOT S9+35 into Utwente. Now seems to be coördinating with BBC Oman until 2259.5* so as not to overlap with IS. Usual sign-on with jumbled English schedule, and soon there is surging caused by open carrier from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems, which has also just opened on a slightly different frequency making subaudible heterodyne - SAH fading. Not until 2311.7 do the ChiCom bring up the relayed CNR1 modulation, after which the CCCCCCI is rather annoying. As usual, VOT is undermodulated so that I have to open SDR and own volume controls to max, but aside from the QRM would be sufficient considering how strong the signal is. After news and music break, 2322 feature title now sounds like `Clipping Files`? It`s about genetic diseases and social media addixion causing depression, narcissism. At the closing it sounds more like `Gripping Piles`, more next week. 2326, multilingual ID filler reel. 2328, `Weekly Commentary`, by some prof., can`t understand name or institution, about Xi`s official visit to Sa`udi Arabia, what effect it could have on the ME. Usual too-heavy accent by YL reader. 2353 recheck closer to 5960.002, already in TRT IS and the CCCCCCI is even worse. 2356 begins interspersing German IDs. 0000 Dec 15 still on, signing on German, mixing with ChiCom anthem. 0008+, enough cacophony. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** UKRAINE. I have not tried to hear `Ukraine: Security Issue` for some time via website, but as of Dec 12 it stops at Dec 1 - what now? http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/ua_security_issue Volodya Salmaniw replies on the WOR iog: ``When I checked 1386 last week [via Lithuania via remote SDR], RUI continued in English for some 25 minutes before switching back to Ukrainian.

Not checked UT Fri Dec 9 at 0830 on WRMIs 5010, 5850; did anyone hear? Confirmed NOT on 9955 air, Friday December 9 at 1530 on WRMI, but confirmed on webcast. I was monitoring direct from 1459: after ID, 1500 starts Blalock the Blaster --- but, chopped off air at 1501* and no come back. Automation mismatch?

Also confirmed UT Saturday December 10 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela, 5130, S5/S7 into NH SDR. Shows fluxuating offset of minus 17.3 to 19.7 Hz. Is this fault of transmitter or receiver? Comparing to WWV on 5000.00000 --- there the fluxuation is minus 0.1 to 0.8 Hz, so that`s obvious rx fault, reading up to almost 1 Hz low. Adjusting that would make WBCQ on about 5129.982v also fluxuating but only 1.7 Hz worth, the rest 0.7 Hz imposed by the SDR. Also, toward the end there were some ``uteblaaps`` much like what forced WBCQ off 4790. After sign-off 0529, carrier stayed on until 0532*.

Preceding was `QSO Today` and following was ARRL news, but I think this is not always the case. Good groundwave signal into nearby SDR; JBA carrier audible direct, as we are in wintry lowest sun zenith, allowing residual skywave. Possibly would be readable without high local line noise level = HLNL. Also confirmed UT Sunday December 11 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S7 into Maurice LA SDR claiming to be the best one; and starting with WRMI`s self-imposed noise burst blasting off the first few seconds of my opening on this System.

A new language sked had just been widely publicized as Portuguese, but it`s already out of date! The new sked still makes no sense as to prime listening or sleeping hours in various targets. I wonder if WBCQ itself play any role in picking language playbacks, or if totally remote-controled from WLCR HQ, wherever that may be, Cairo? Explaining how one may qualify for RCC sainthood; British accents make WLCR sound so authoritative! Frequency keeps wavering as I try to pin its measurement. No sign of Cuban spies despite that being `scheduled` per EiBi on days 1357 = Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun; while Aoki shows days 1246 = Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri.

Vanuatu is still on here with some JBA talk, not just carrier, and nothing on 7890, 11835 since no longer switching to fundamental 3945 at 0659; Ron Howard agrees and hears it much better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2168) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 10 at 0714, S5/S8 of JBA talk from R. Vanuatu rather than the 3945 harmonix. Gary Pence agrees at exactly same time. Ron Howard sends a recording of their ID at 0801 Dec 8 claiming to be on 3945, MW 1125 and FM 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 11 at 0739, R. Vanuatu is JBA still here rather than harmonicizing on 7890, 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 12 at 0728, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu still here and no harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 14 at 0740, S6/S9 of Bislama talk from R. Vanuatu, best signal yet on this fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. 9710, Dec 11 at 0747, Slavic talk, certainly not Russian, S9/+10 where normally there is nothing. EiBi shows it`s VR in Ukrainian, Sundays only so liturgy? at 0705-0800, to be followed by Romanian, 0810-0920. I was wondering why not encountering this on 9645, as in seAsons when they were also one UT hour earlier. Now too much CCCCCCI on 9645 per listings tho not much here. 9710 at 0756 choral music, 0800 first 4 notes of VR IS, before chopoff* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1098 kHz, Dec 11 at 0752, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier detectable, presumed V7AB MARSHALL ISLANDS, in the absence of any 846, presumably another silent Sunday on Kiritimati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1215 kHz, Dec 13 at 0737 in JBA 9/kHz split carrier scan, surprised to hit one here, only one besides 846 and vs lightning storms just west of here. Much earlier in evening, 1215 would obviously be Absolute Radio, UK, ten synchros totalling 366 kW; only other TA possibilities this late would be three X 15 kW COPEs in Spain, if still on air. But e.g. London sunrise today is not until 0758, almost as late as it can be. How about TP? Only one 2 kW from NZ, and nothing on islands closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
