Radio Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel broadcasts on the short wave on Wednesdays from 21 to 23 UTC and on Saturdays from 21 UTC until 03:00 on Sunday on frequency 15476 Khz (USB).
Due to improvements in the audio chain and transmission line and good propagation, we are receiving messages from listeners who had not been able to listen to it for decades and also reception reports from countries such as India, Iceland, Japan, United States, Spain, Italy, United Kingdom, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay and all the National territory.
During the summer we broadcast a program called "Uniendo Voces", a production of the Joint Antarctic Command, the University of Quilmes and RAE, with the presentation of Juan Carlos Benavente.
We also share with you videos and posts in which listeners from around the world share their reception of LRA36.

LRA 36 also transmits on FM on 96.7 mhz. Now with greater coverage since RAE has donated an Omnidirectional antenna and a 300 watt-generator. This will multiply thirtyfold the power it had until now and will allow it to reach neighboring bases and tourist cruises.
This year RAE will produce a weekly multilingual program, in the 8 languages we broadcast, with Antarctica-related content that will be broadcast exclusively on LRA 36.
For the first time in history, a bulletin for radio amateurs was transmitted from LU1ZV.
