** CANADA. 14670 RCUSB, July 19 at 1639, no signal from CHU at local
range into Ottawa KiwiSDR, while 3330 & 7850 are locally strong. Some
time July 18 tuning across direct, I had noticed it missing. As Karl
Zuk points out, their ``system status``
https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/
concedes ``14.670 MHz: offline since [2024-07-16 at 21:00 UTC]``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, July 19 at 0658, S9+40 of dead air from R. Rebelde:
something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PANAMA. 28160 CW, July 18 at 2204, VVV DE HP1RIS/B plus a lot more
letters uncopied, JBA fading out and could not copy for sure every
letter in call, but most of them matching this WGB entry:
``28159.5 HP1RIS/B - Panama City PNR FJ09ga - #0 (21 Jan 2023) Note:
pwr 5w``
And QRZ.com: ``HP1RIS Panama flag Panama, Ricardo I Schwarz, P.O.Box:
0835-00515
Panama, Rep. de Panama, Centro America. QSL: E-QSL or Direct -
HP1RIS/B, 10 meter beacon, 28.159.5 mhz, 1/4 wave whip, 5 watts`` ---
Hardly anything else on band except an unID beacon on 28282 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) Make all those: Panamá
** SPAIN. 17855, July 19 at 2200, token English from REE, S9+20/30
direct and also audible on the other three. One preview topic to be
about ME athletes in the Olympix. Lead news item, global Microsoft
outage; *rump speech. At 2224 listening S7/S9 via Bonaire SDR, sports
interview by Lebanon correspondent, 2228 bit of music fill resulting
from a `Bogotá` festival yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.020-, Fri July 19 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS
and English IDs, S9+10/20 direct but not enough to overcome line noise
level. 2223 into Bonaire SDR, song at S9/+10 but considerable 11780
ACI; S9+40/45 into UTwente. At 2229 when measured, `Weekly Analysis`
about Ukraine war, nuke threat, NATO etc. 2235 `with-you-every-hour`
promo, song. 2240 `Turkish Folk Tales` about a bottomless peat, and a
sultan. 2248 TRTVOTWorld.com promo, music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW, few
sex of IS before 2255* chop, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7633.5 USB, July 19 at 0702, ``MARS Radio``, with tones,
brief contacts, ``BFJQ`` fonetikaly. AF MARS logged previously long
ago here, in 2008y, 2014y. Strange they would be active in the
nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085 & 9475: ``WTWW: FIRE --- WTWW had an arc that caused a
fire and the loss of a power card and control card. No effect on
transmitter power. Inline image -- George McClintock 7-19-2024`` at
0542 UT (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 9955, July 19 at 0652, WRMI again on late, not
with RFI Spanish but MEish chanting, almost Qur`anish; this has
happened before as if deliberately scheduled as such contrary to
websked. Still overshadows VANUATU on 9960 until 0659 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7490 -69 Hz = 7489.931, July 20 at 0000, WBCQ, S9/+10 into
NH SDR with `AAAWWW`, not disclaimed as a replay, but obviously is
last week`s when he started talking about toilets: never mind. Then,
he was ``trimulcasting`` and said so, and I bet that`s still on this
playback despite 3265+ and 5130- being off the air now; while as usual
6160 had TOMBS before 2400 and still some gospelhuxter into the new
day; so, monalcasting? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, July 19 at 0650, no sign of WMLK, while 19m is not
totally dead of all signals. There they go again; we`ll never know
what DEJOM would have said, but I am sure it were stale (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1120, July 19 at 0713-0716+ UT, S9+35 of dead air, obviously
KMOX St Louis - even such a major outlet can fail like this; if not
some required testage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
