** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, April 10 at 0105, RAE via WRMI with Spanish in progress instead of English; generic comments by Fernando Farías about the quarantine situation with regular programming unavailable.
0111 switches to French, soon devoting its time to summary of DX info: IRRS with schedule of Bannon`s Pandemic show; Catholic station at Gracias a Dios, Honduras; Radio Cuarentena; letter from a francophone DX club. 0119 back to Fernando who also does the English segment, from home. This is the second, apparently once-a-week pandemic program featuring all the RAE language services. How April 2 is a significant date, anniversary of the Malvinas War in 1982y; shortened edition of the normally-Friday 7-10 minute DX Actuality feature: again about War Room Pandemic, sked via IRRS; Honduras station. President has extended lockdown in Argentina to April 13. 0127 outro in Spanish gives names of announcers in all 8 languages as if we have just heard them all, ``Made en/in Casa`` on RAE/Argentina al Mundo: Italian, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, English, in that order --- but we`ve heard only three of them this semihour and I don`t think it started at 0030 tho I was not listening then, rather to pirates. 0130 WRMI Spanish ID by Dino and into Radio Prague International in English. No other WRMI frequencies checked tonight except 5800 just after 0100 when it sounded again like Radio Taiwán Internacional (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, April 9 at 1403, RHC is S9+20 but extremely distorted. 15230 and 13700 are OK, VG, no spurs; after 1900 in English, 15140 is relatively clean today, different transmitter? 11760, April 9 at 1413, RHC is S9-S7 of dead air. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6953-USB, April 9 at 2324, pirate music at S3-S5; 2329 two announcers talking vs high storm noise level from south of San Antonio and the southern half of Louisiana. ``Virus-19 Radio``, maybe back tomorrow, maybe not. Radio conditions pretty damn good tonight, getting up into New England. ``Good night, stay well``, playing out on ``When I Die`` by Blood, Sweat & Tears until off at 2336*. More logs here with variations on ID with Zeke as host: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65317.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, April 9 at 2326, S4-S6 soul music, 2328 announcement but too much reverb, etc., to copy; blues music. 2337 jive music with some cut-outs, YL ID at first sounds like ``Four AM Radio`` with hotmail address like that; Mix Radio International ID, jazz piano; 2342 ID I then realize is ``Cool AM Radio``. More logs: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65319.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6916-USB, April 10 at 0044, S9 of wild rock, lots of yelling over the music as if a `live` event rather than any studio announcements. Past 0100 when I switch to 9395 for Argentina. 0131 recheck still going with more of same hard rock. These say it`s Radio 48 via MRI, having started on 6880-USB but moved to 6916 at 0028: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,65322.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 341-MCW kHz, April 9 at 0613 UT, ND beacon OIN, which is 25 watts from Oberlin, Kansas; as EI Enid is still gone, but there are loads of others on 341 I would like to hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5214-USB, April 10 at 0139, MARS? net mostly with abbr`d calls, such as 8AM, 8HQ; one full call starting with AAR---; at 0141, M8A in contact with 8HS, fonetikaly, declaring ``the net is free``.
