The other day, while picking raspberries and blueberries in the woods surrounding our house, my wife and I were tuned to LRA36 on a portable Lextronix E5 receiver. "Música and cultura" was on the menu. Edmundo Rivero and Susana Rinaldi with tangos, followed by a few zambas and a Yma Sumac-ish rendering of "El cóndor pasa". I was using the telescopic antenna only. Time of reception: 1805-1910+ Reception was very poor at the outset but slowly improving, and approaching fair level around 1900. Temperature at the Esperanza base was given as 15 degrees below zero, which equals 5 degrees F. Henrik Klemetz, in SW Sweden

Fair reception of LRA36 on 15476 kHz on August 10 2009, from 1800 UTC. Heard several clear LRA36 "desde a base Esperanza na Antarctica Argentina" IDs around 1805. The signal started out good and faded down over time, as sunset approaches the Antarctic Peninsula. -- All rights reversed. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
