** SPAIN. 17855, Monday May 8 at 2200, token English from SNR is VG
into Maryland SDR; sufficient on 17715 for SAm; and even on 11670 for
Africa but with squeal - but NO signal on fourth frequency 15520 for
ME, nor at UTwente. Something`s not right at Noblejas. But not much
else on SW from Europe a sesquihour after an M-class flare as Gary
Pence points out. Of course from Europe`s SW corner, Spain enjoys best
advantage of the lowest-latitude and closest path to NAm; since
Portugal gave up SW years ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785, May 8 at 2158, no signal yet from VOT English even
unto UTwente SDR. Cuts on at *2201 but off again in a few seconds
before I can even note the offset a few Hz on the plus side; and never
returns next 30+ minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, still not 909 or 207 kHz,

** U S A. 9330, May 8 at 2314, menacing music from WLCR on WBCQ-6 and
into Brasuguese talk, VG S9+20/30 as if on wrong beam thisaway;
normally is perceptibly weakened when in Portuguese correctly
southward at 175 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9975, UT Monday May 8 at 0010, AWR Wavescan, later Jeff
White interviewing John[o] Wright of ARDXC during recent visit to NSW;
S8/9+5 but noisy into Louisiana SDR. At 0145 recheck it`s S9+20/30
direct, more like it. KVOH had been AWOL for some time but back this
weekend as reported earlier to WOR iog:
``I can hear something on 9975 kHz at the moment, just ID'd as "Voice
of Hope" at 0406 UTC May 6. Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada``
``Super strong into Masset, BC at 0421. Left the air at 0500. For the
last 15 or 20 minutes, reception became fluttery; auroras are back!

And a Dan, somewhere, forwards UT May 8: ``Hi Ray, I missed last
night; was hoping to hear the Jazz program. Thanks, Dan``

** U S A. Further update from George McClintock, WTWW, captions with
multi-MB close-up photos:
``Subject: WTWW: all 48 power modules repaired --- This is the bad
part on this control card, a voltage requlator.
All 48 of 48 power modules have been repaired and returned to the
stacks. They are the power modules that $ 100,000 dollars was
squandered by the GOOD OLD BOYS and NO repair took place. Since I have
repaired what the good old boys did not repair, I want the 100,000
dollars they got for no work, at all, on transmitter # 1. Just
kidding.
These are the only 2 burned control cards that I have. They are in the
process of being repaired. I am still waiting on Continental for any
control cards that may be lying around. I am short 5 and are sure that
the good old boys know where they are but are keeping quiet. George
McClintock 5-7-2023`` (via Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Still a big tropo blob around here on APRS map, May 8 at
0412, BAD signals on RF: 8, 10, 11, 15, 21, 22, 26, 30, 31, 34, 36. 15
degraded to bad means DX QRM to KTBO OKC. Only DX decoding are: RF 20
KQCW-HD 19-1 Tulsa; RF 28, ION 44-1, i.e. KTPX-TV Okmulgee = Tulsa
market.
At 0431 May 8: RF 36, TBN HD 17-1, i.e. KDOR Bartlesville = Tulsa
market; RF 26 KOTV 6-1 Tulsa; RF 20 KQCW Muskogee = Tulsa mkt, 19-1
still with VG signal; and these BADs: 8, 10, 11, 12, probably also
Tulsa.
Circa 1545 UT May 8, again a tropo blob over eastern OK with Enid on
the edge; but only DX signal is BAD RF 28, no doubt ION 44-1 again
