Please note and spread the word - for those not on a list where my almost-daily all-band but mainly SW log reports appear -- or for those who are but find this a more convenient archive, weekly merged roundups of all these reports in their original form are posted early every UT Thursday via:

** 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.

Also confirmed Wednesday July 31 at 2100 on WBCQ 7489.93, S8/9+5 into
NH SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

As a non-commercial service, thanks this week for financial support
via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to woradio at yahoo.com
from William Fenech: ``Glenn - thanks for all your efforts to promote
radio, especially Shortwave radio... 73 and Good DX, William NJ6O``

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)

** BOLIVIA. Re 6145 not on air earlier July 30: ``I am hearing what
appears to be Radio Betania on 6144.98 with prayers at 1045 UTC tune
in but suffering severe interference from 6140 - DRM or jamming. Bryan
Clark, Mangawhai - New Zealand`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, July 30 at 0340, S9+10/20 of dead air in English.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

*** CUBA. 5025, July 30 at 0344, S9+20/30 of dead air in Spanish from
R. Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. But 0643 check,
remodulating about Olympix, S9+25/35 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 15440, July  30 at 1445, S Asian song, S3/S6, the SSOB
except for 15825 WWCR getting sporadic E boost. And very little else
on 19mb. It`s TWR in Urdu at 1430-1500. Per EiBi, well-coordinated
site and language changes every semihour: 1330-1400 AWR Thai via
Tajikistan; 1400-1430 AWR Mandarin via Guam; then this (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. DXMAP shows MUF 98 MHz eastward, so out to the car for an
FM DX tunearound, July 30 at 1710 UT: immediately hear Spanish on
88.1, then ``920 AM ... kalientí ... Celaya ... la que manda`` -- so
it is this:

XHRE-FM relays:AM 920 88.1 CELAYA GTO MEX 10.0 kW ERP -73.0 m BELOW
average terrain 20-23-20 100-47-49 Spanish REGIONAL MEXICAN RADIO LOBO
per WTFDA FM Database. 1788 km = 1111 statute miles.

So the sporadic-E season is not quite over. Scanning entire band, only
other sign of Es DX is: 94.1, at 1712 just a bit of Spanish. There are
no Celayans or even Guanajuatans on 94.1; closest to there by G.C.
would maybe be in Hidalgo, CDMX. On 94.1 and many other frequencies,
constant battle among OK and KS fringe signals on a turbulent
100-degree day. Quit at 1737 for lunch; another try at 1834-1840 nets
nothing (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855 & 17715, at 2205 Tue July 30, a non-English day from
REE, instead the Ladino show: if you understand Spanish you can almost
understand this - just some ``odd`` words here and there. YL asking
for listener reports, and then 2207 about ``Romances``, evidently
storytelling in song, some very nice tunes. S9+25/30 on the upper,
slightly less on the lower direct. Thursday is another non-English day
at same hour worth escuching anyway, `Amigos de la Onda Corta`, media
if not DX program (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6165 & 7275, July 30 at 0332, both VOT English frequencies
for the 0300 broadcast are absent again direct. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009+, July 30 at 2200, VOT English no signal direct
nor in next few minutes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. By
2209 recheck it is on at S9/+10 vs high noise level here. At 2235 I`m
on UTwente when measured, S9+45/50. Ms Badax is reading a `Weekly
Commentary` until 2239 music. 2242 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about
Malka? yellow cheese made from goat milk. 2245 music. 2249
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2254 s/off ignoring SW,
something`s always awry in Ankara; and IS until 2255* (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2253 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+20 direct but vs HSNL.

Also confirmed Tuesday July 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct, no
jamming audible.

Also confirmed Tuesday July 30 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.994
kHz, Villa Estense, S5/S7 into Parma SDR. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160.

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, UT Tue July 30 at 0640, WRMI at S9+10 in Spanish,
again resuming on-air later than scheduled, with RFI relay not
scheduled now either. Last night it was not on late (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1280, July 30 at 0350, Black Information Network promos,
IDs; dominant signal at night is WODT New Orleans LA 5/5 kW as we are
in its major lobe to NW/WNW day and night to disserve the Gulf. Was
originally WDSU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, July 30 at 0640, RV with music, S8/S9 stronger than
usual  and holding its own against 9955 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
