** 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.

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.

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 [and non].

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) This report despatched at 0320 UT July 20
