Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Adrian Korol, who shares the following announcement:
LRA 36 RADIO NACIONAL ARCANGEL SAN GABRIEL presents UNIENDO VOCES, a special production made together with RAE (Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior) and dedicated to shortwave listeners, DXers and ham radio amateurs from all over the world.
The transmission will take place on SATURDAY, JANUARY 21 at 15 UTC with repetition at 19 UTC on the frequency of 15476 kHz (USB) 19-meter band and will include the participation of Adrian Korol, Director of RAE and Juan Benavente, member of the Joint Antarctic Command, together with Marcelo Ayala, a journalist from Radio Nacional who hosts the morning Panorama Informativo for all Public Radio stations during January from LRA36.
The contents include live interviews, interesting material from the LRA36 sound archive such as audio from its first transmission, different IDs, audio from listeners of right-wingers at different times, and material from LA ROSA DE TOKIO, the program by Omar Somma and Arnaldo Slaen, who is RAE’s DX Editor.
This year is very important for LRA36. During the month of February, evaluation and measurement tasks of the irradiating system and short wave transmission will be carried out with the aim of providing A NEW SHORT WAVE TRANSMITTER to the beloved Antarctic station, the CCA 10 KW transmitter will also be withdrawn to the continent For your repair.
A new antenna will also be installed for the FM signal at 96.7 Mhz that will start to emit with a power of 250 watts (currently it does so with 25).
As always, we await your comments and reception reports at [email protected]

Thank you for the tip, Adrian. LRA 36 is one of my favorite stations to DX! I hope the broadcast is a successful one!
Many thanks for this broadcast, Adrián. I had to use a KiwiSDR in Argentina for getting a decent signal; I am listening from Germany. A pity the webcast did not work. This past friday I also heard radio amateur Juan LU1ZV on 10 m SSB from Base Esperanza here in Germany. The signal was weak but at times good readable. No chance for a QSO, many station from the Americas and Europe were calling. But I will keep on trying 🙂
Thanks again and best regards

Nice to record this with my SDR. Maybe I didn’t read the article carefully enough; how long does the broadcast last? An hour? Each?
If you speak Spanish, there is a lengthy interview with two outgoing LRA36 staff members on REE’s Amigos de la Onda Corta program. Aired 12 January.2023.

This is a great radio station. I do not understand Spanish but I will be listening! Thanks for letting us know via SWL.
