** BOLIVIA. 6145, July 29 at 0139, 0215 and 0416 chex, NO signal from
R. Betania [means Bethany, but probably not referring to the OKC
suburb]. Perhaps its sudden appearance last night were a `proof of
performance`, even a one-off? Others agree it`s absent, Walt Salmaniw,
Zacharias Liangas. And ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Yes, 6145,
nothing here either. Yesterday I sent a WhatsApp to the station, whose
number appears on the website, asking them about this shortwave
transmission, but they did not respond.``
July 30 at 0030, still no signal on 6145 into Brasília SDR aside huge
6150 Saturno; except for some pulsebeepery twice per second, wideband
audible from 6121 to 6175. 0219 no pulse but no Betania either (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, July 29 at 2208, RHC S9+10/20 but very distorted,
unreadable but intonation resembles Portuguese as sked in EiBi, not
Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 11975, July 29 at 2214, CRI French relay amid odd 2130-2230
sked via Bamako, Chinese lesson, mentions ``chinois``, also sounded
like bits of other languages too. Fair signal direct (Glenn Hauser,
OOK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, July 29 at 1928, noise roar is on as received
at UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Mon July 29 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
direct and the other three audible, preview topic to be interview with
curator of art exhibition of a Britsh-American, multimedia, Susan -?-.
2201.5 news leads with Maduro claiming victory in Venezuela; Hezbollah
attack in Golan Heights, etc. 2210 interview is underway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 11785.009+, Sun July 28 at 2158, VOT English not
off the air, S9+25/45 into UTwente with IS & IDs. AGAIN bothered by
OTH radar clickery at first, roughly 11780-11795, that in the clear on
11790 & 11795. 2200 s/on by Ms Badax as if this were 17620 on 1230,
and then the olds. 2213 report about the Olympix. 2218 `Weekly
Analysis` repeat about the US elexion, by John somebody. 2223 `Letterbox` starts. This show is very informal, perhaps too much
so, but nice to hear some sincere comments by the host rather than
reading a script. Says it`s been raining in Ankara, complains about
careless drivers, since COVID, people show no respect for one another
-- is Judgment Day nigh, or the End of the World? Crime is peaking.
Only a few letters this week, mostly from the regulars, but devotes
considerable time to some of them. First from someone in ``Letonia``, different name than the usual
Russian one, wants QSL. Next: Christer Brunström on west coast of
Sweden, who is 76 and has been SWLing since 1962, long letter. Aside,
all Turkey`s neighbors are in conflict [including Greece?]. Lots of
Ukrainians and Russians are moving to Turkey. His apartment building
has both but they don`t get along. Those faxions sometimes get into
fights on the street. C.B. refers to a magazine, QTC. Next at 2235:
Craig Tyson, Perth, another regular, but host wishes he would write
about more than QSL requests. Next: ``My man``, Alan Holder on Isle of Wight, England, another long
letter. Has to postpone a paint job because of rain. Discussion of
postage. Heard a new program `Turkish Women Heroes`, which I have not.
Lady in correspondence dept. has one helper, responsible for replies
in all 37 language services. 2246 next, Harald Süss, Austria,
reporting on a Persian broadcast which host finds strange. 2248
good-bye in English and Turkish, 2249 music. 2250 Headlines by Ms
Badax, taking 3 minutes instead of usual zero. 2253 s/off the 1230
broadcast, 7 notes of IS before chop at 2254*, no finesse. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, July 29 at 2200, 2214, no signal direct from VOT
English; nor at 2234 into UTwente, nor on previous goofs 9875, 11795.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2253 monitoring: confirmed Sunday

Germany, S9+10 into UTwente, but that *includes INTRUDER* OTH radar
clickery roughly 6158-6180. I am quite audible above its annoyance,
and still doing it at 2157. Clear on 3975.003 at S9+5/10. Also confirmed Sunday July 28 at 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9+15/25 into

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9462.2 & 9487.87 approx., parasitic spurs JBA out of WTWW
9475 which is S9+40/50 direct with PPPP, like same transmitter
provides when on 5085, but not noticed here before. Checking UTwente
at 2248, 9475 JBA centered at 9474.999 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955 & 5010, Monday July 29 at 0632, both these WRMIs are
off again instead of extended contrary to schedule, which claims both
expand until 0900* on weekends only with nothing but TOMBS, contrary
to RFI Spanish we axually hear most nights until 0700, then Polish
Radio in English on 9955. Leaving 9960 VANUATU without QRM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 9960, July 29 at 0632, R. Vanuatu S6/S8 with music, and
for a change no ACI from 9955 WRMI which is off again instead of
expanded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Over-the-horizon radar seems to be on the increase, more
and more into the ``exclusive`` SWBC bands! Note in this report around
TURKEY 11785, and WOR via GERMANY 6160! Then at 2357 July 28, covering
9959-9984 into Brasília SDR, barely missing WRMI, hitting WWCR 9980.
Collateral damage from Russia`s imperialist war on Ukraine? 11928-11955, July 29 at 2235, OTH radar clickery INTRUDING here, until
cutoff at 2237.5*. Hits S9+15 into UTwente around 11940/11945 middle.
Not to be confused with Saudi buzzer 11935, quite different sound and
narrow-band by comparison, no sign of it amid this now. 7462-7479 approx., July 30 at 0146, weak OTHR clickery, could be a
problem if YHWH show up later on 7475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 18965 and weaker 18985, July 29 at 2206, open carriers.
I am beginning to doubt these be CNR jammers against no SOH, as not
much else is incoming from China at these hours; but what else? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) This report despatched at 0247 UT July 30
