** FINLAND. 11690, first Sat Aug 3 at 1824, S6/S7 into UTwente music
and talk in presumed Finnish, presumably monthly broadcast of
low-power Scandinavian Weekend Radio, need LSB to avoid ACI from 11695
CRI Kashgar in French; gone around 1830. Then at 1837 I check 11720 to
find similar S7/S9 signal in the clear, with disco beat as scheduled:
http://www.swradio.net/schedule.htm
11720.019 at first, drift down to 11720.008 by 1900. The QSY from
11690 to 11720 is supposed to be at 1800. Nothing heard on // 6170
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [non]. 6120, Sat Aug 3 at 1800, JBA signal 2 Hz low into
UTwente, checking for Blacksmith Knoll, but this goes off abruptly.
Must have been XJRTV in Uighur as scheduled from Urumqi, East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and
other Moslems. B.K. supposed to start by 1805, but nothing heard nor
at 1915 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 3 at 2205, VOT English not off the air,
S9+35/45 into UTwente in news. 2212 music. 2216 `The Energy Agenda`
about power plants storing energy for efficiency. TNX to ``my man``,
Alan Holder on the IOW for providing me with names of the announcers I
shall try to employ. For that program: Evran Genç,  2222 music. 2226
`Turkey`s Geomarked Products` by Evran again, repeat about goat
cheese. 2229 music. 2240 more music, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, August 3 at 0625, R. Vanuatu reactivated after a few
days, ex-9960, and still on 7260 past 0700 with news, S9+10/15. I
suppose to descend to 3945 sometime before 1100* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

This report dispatched at 2244 UT August 3

** AUSTRALIA. 28450 USB, Aug 2 at 2202, OSOB is a VK4 about to take a
bathroom break, he tells the world, but no clear ID. Nor any beacons
audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, August 2 at 0632, R. Rebelde is not off the air nor not
not modulating; something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Aug 3 at 0311, RHC in English, S9+20/30; also JBA on
15230 & 6000, can`t tell if also English or even really Cuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 12105, August 2 at 1452, JBA carrier. EiBi shows this hour
only as KSDA in Chinese. It`s also the registered frequency for WTWW,
if & when the #3 transmitter reactivate (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 21221.5 USB, Aug 2 at 2205, 9K2GR, Khalid in
contact with NO9E whom I was hearing first; unusual to hear both
sides. QRZ.com has no address but lots of certificates, etc. for
``9K2GR Kuwait flag Kuwait KHALED ALHASHEL``

``NO9E USA flag USA, Ignacy Misztal, 235 Cedar Springs Dr, Athens, GA
30605, USA`` with lots of photos of equipment and expeditions.

I always check 10m first, then 12m where I have not heard *any*
activity for ages; nor much on 15: this was the first signal I
encountered tuning down from 21450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. Where is the RNZI SW schedule? There is no longer a
link to it at homepage
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international

But it is still there at
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/listen

as in the WOR Hitlist. Ironically, this has happened just as their new
transmitter is inaugurated, with publicity about the value of SW. I
have notified Adrian Sainsbury, so maybe he can get that restored.
Yes, says he will do that; but not yet as of 0207 Aug 3 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Aug 3 at 0309 rock music, S9+10 = to noise
level, the OPOB. These say it`s WDOG:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,132152.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.53 & 27184.82 approx., AM, August 2 at 1441, Enid
CB pirate relaying 105.5 K288FX translator of K-Love KYLV 88.9 OKC,
the upper one a smidgin stronger at S9+5 than the lower only S9. Both
still going at 2201 recheck but not remeasured (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)

** PAKISTAN [non]. 15750, August 2 at 0617, JBA talk at S3/S5 direct.
EiBi shows it`s USAGM`s seldom reported R. Mashaal in Pashto via
THAILAND at 04-07, switching to Kuwait at 07-12, back to Thailand at
12-13. This is the over-specialized service for both sides of the
Paki/Afghani/stan border. Note that USAGM has *two other* ``stations``
in Pashto or partly so, as in WRTH 2024 page 569: VOA Ashna Radio, VOA
Deewa Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Fri Aug 2 at 2200, token English from SNR, S9+20/30
direct and the other three audible, intro feature to be about the
feminine perspective, great women in history who founded and supported
El Prado museum. 2201.7 news leads with the prisoner exchange. 2209
recheck the feminine feature is underway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6165 & 7275, August 2 at 0300 and later chex into UTwente,
again, NO signals from VOT`s final repeat of English hour. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. I was wanting to evaluate whether they
had any news, rather than olds about the prisoner swap via Ankara,
since news about that broke apparently after 1230 August 1 when the
first English broadcast is then replayed over and over; as usual on
Thursdays I was too busy finishing WORLD OF RADIO during the 2200
repeat, if it happened to be on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004+, Aug 2 at 2158, VOT not off the air, IS & ID in
English, S9+10 direct but not enough vs noise level. From 2222 into
UTwente when measured S9+40/50, outro of `Weekly Analysis`, music.
2226 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2228 `Turkish Folk Tales` but
cannot devote 100+% attention to try to follow it. 2235 music. 2241
`That`s Why` about the world of genetix where only four letters
account for all the diversity. 2247 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
music, to chopoff at 2250*! Before any formal s/off or IS - and did
not return. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 7275 & 6165, August 3 at 0305 & 0320 chex, VOT English is
absent again tonight, no signals into UTwente. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2254 monitoring: confirmed Friday
August 2 at 2030 on IRRS via  AM Italia, 1322.994+, S9+5/S8 into
UTwente across Europe. And on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Friday August 2 at 2211 the 2200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20
direct vs noise level of S9+10. I sure hope our first weekly SWBC
arrive better elsewhere.

Also confirmed Friday August 2 at 2237 the 2230 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.001, S9/S7 into UTwente.

Not confirmed on World FM, New Zealand webcast scheduled at 2205,
because none of the six ``widgets`` on the Listen page would work.
However, the play link from the WOR page would run when I checked it
after WOR were over:

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, Aug 2 at 2347 via Maryland
and/or NH SDRs: 7490 -73 Hz = 7489.927, S9+5/15 with FKB. 6160 -71 Hz
- 6159.929, S5/S6 with TOMBS. The lower two are back on the air! Good
omen that a new AAAWWW is imminent rather than a rerun: 5130 -73 Hz =
5129.927, S7/9+5 also with FKB; 3265.142, S6/S7 to JBA, FKB. After
1-minute-warning tone, FKB wraps up and AW speaks before 2400 to
`Chariots of Fire` music, 0000 Aug 3 morphing into usual WTO theme.
One of his first remarx is ``hide the silverware``, so that will cue
us when this become a repeat. Angela is on lofi phone but has a lot to
say this week and more or less leads the all-political conversation.
Muses whether WBCQ be family-friendly. It`s hot in studio. Too many
trux on I-95 and at the rest areas. Everybody buys online rather than
shopping at malls which are in decline. Blames Democrats for economic
ills; anti-abortion. Vs ``Communist creeps``; mentions *rump by name
once so far; also ``our president had his job stolen``; ``we have only
one choice``. Biden and Harris are ``nitwits``. So they remain
delusional tho had not been so explicit for a few weeks.

By now it`s 0021 and I`ve had enough, just as some OTH radar clickery
is audible under. Waterfall shows it centered around 7535. At 0050
finally datestamp as 2 of August, trimulcasting on 7490, 5130, 3265.
0055 some email, ``we get heavy``. Electricity now costs WBCQ 26 cents
per kWH, far too much, originally was about 12c. Prayer and wrapup in
time *not* to run over into Hal Turner`s theme at 0100 and opening!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Aug 3 at 0315, WRMI with `Freedom Synergy Radio` in
English instead of Spanish; bilingual, never know when will be which.
Can`t make out any jamming vs storm and line noise (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Aug 2 at 0622, RV is still AWOL, nor on 7260 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15080, Aug 3 at 0308, AM carrier of S8/S9. Could it be a
broadcaster? Some intrude into this aero band, but none listed in EiBi
or Aoki or Klingenfuß, nor any utes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0338 UT August 3

** BOLIVIA. 6145, August 1 at 0112, still no signal from R. Betania
into Brasília SDR. It was widely heard for sure on only one UT date,
July 28 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2254)

** CUBA. 6000, August 1 at 0642, JBA carrier at S9+15 equal to noise
level. Maybe remnant of RHC. Only other sked after 0630 is AIR Leh,
which if really on air would not be audible from midday there (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, August 1 at 0648, R. Rebelde is OFF again. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba. Good news later for SOLOMONS 5020 (GLenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2253 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday August 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/S9 into Brasília SDR.

** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Aug 1 at 0638, after a reliable spell, R
Vanuatu is gone again from where it had been operating until 0659. Not
heard here on 7260 either and several monitors agree it was not on any
known frequency. Meanwhile, WRMI continued its overrun on 9955, S9 in
Spanish relay of RFI contrary to own schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

** CUBA. 5025, July 31 at 0640, NO signal from R. Rebelde; when there
is a signal, it`s often with no modulation. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, July 31 at 2210, RHC S9+10/20 direct but JBM,
supposedly Portuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27224.53 AM, July 31 at 1448, Enid CB pirate after
missing a few days, S9+5 and JBM // 105.5 K288FX `K-Love``. Also
27184.83 at S8. Originally from KYLV 88.9 OKC. 2205 another check on
different receiver: 27184.87 // 105.5, and 27224.6 with heavy skip QRM
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 12080, July 31 at 1456, S9+10/15 in Korean,
VOA via Tinang at 12-15, is the SSOB with very little else from
abroad. In fact most of the bands are near-dead except for WWCR
blasting 9980, less so 13845, and not enhanced 15825. All WRMIs are
very weak to JBA, also 9330 WBCQ. 12080 is on the 21-degree antenna
toward Korea, and a defacto N American service far beyond, crossing
near Barrow and Detroit, and we are about 10 degrees away from that
bearing.

It seems that almost every 3-hourly SWPC report says
``Radio blackouts reaching the R2 level occurred`` and
``Radio blackouts reaching the R2 level are expected``

and https://spaceweather.com/ via Mike Terry: ``Multiple CMEs are
heading for Earth. They could spark G2-class geomagnetic storms when
they arrive on July 31st and August 1st. During such storms, naked-eye
auroras may be seen in northern-tier US states and central Europe.``

Keep an eye on this auroral oval display:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Wed July 31 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG
S9/+10/20 direct, and the other 3 detectable, preview about a Mérida
festival which started in 1933y to interview someone named Gil. And
Spanish being #2 favorite foreign language in British secondary
schools [#1 French?]. 2201 news starts with counter-lawsuits involving
PM Sánchez; Catalunya to collect taxes instead of central government
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.004-, July 31 at 2158, VOT English not off the air,
IS and ID, S9/+10 direct but JBA vs noise level. 2221 into UTwente
when measured, S9+20/40 about relations with Qatar including a Turkish
military base there. 2224 outro as `The Middle East & Turkey`,
multi-lingual ID filler reel, music. 2231 Ms Badax in a segment I`m
not sure of, maybe That`s Why? Something hardly understandable about
calculators and our world, music. 2241 ``always-by-your-side`` promo.
2242 `Sports Panorama` about Olympic opening ceremony to how Turkish
athletes are doing well. 2250 music. 2252 s/off ignoring SW -
something`s awry at Ankara. 2253 IS. 2256 restart IS with IDs in
German to 2257*. Something`s erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2253 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
July 30 at 2330 on WRMI 9395, S7/9+5 into Peoria SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday July 30 at 2352 the 2330 on SW Gold Radio,
Germany, 3975.001, S9/+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday July 31 at 1930.5 on SW Gold Radio, Germany,
6160.000- at S9+5 and 3975.002+ at S9+15/20 into UTwente.

** U S A. 93.5, July 31 at 1717 UT on caradio, ``this is Thunder
Country`` and country music. Only my usual fringer, KKDT Burdett KS;
WTFDA db shows ``93.5 Thunder`` instead as slogan. Apparently a recent
change from ``My Country 93.5`` the last time I noticed it. Unclear
how Thunder is distinctive to Hays KS area; 46 other USA stations
slogan that word including some elsewhere in Kansas. Of course, I was
bandscanning for Es DX -- MUF way up east of here but paths not yet
reaching this far. Slogan heard again at 2305 during another fruitless
Es pursuit. This signal faded from strong to nothing in seconds vs
CCI, as if were ionospheric, but it`s the turbulent 100+degree
troposphere. Also here any weaker signals are subject to surges via
Vance airplane scatter constantly traversing us, and we suspect also
raining jet fuel exhaust exacerbating oily dust at ground level (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
