** TURKEY. Re my July 5 report, Alan Roe replies on the WOR iog at
1911 July 16: ``Hi Glenn, Bill, I have just checked, and confirm that
the play link for "TRT VOT World" is currently (since 1830 today) live
streaming the English 1830 UT broadcast. You can get there by via

then scroll down to VOT Radyolari and click on TRT VOT World.
Alternatively use
https://www.trtdinle.com/channel/trt-vot-world-7547
and select TRT VOT World. Based on past experience, these links should
work for all broadcasts except 1630 UT (1730 in winter) which is heard
via the TRT VOT East link at
https://www.trtdinle.com/channel/trt-vot-east
I'll update the WOR Hitlist in a few days. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``
(via Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.009, July 16 at 2158, no signal direct from VOT
English, but cut on a few sex late after 2200 s/on, unusable at S9 =

Bambara; something`s gone wrong at Grimesland (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday July 16 at 0340 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into Maryland
SDR.

Confirmed Tuesday July 16 a 1315 the 1300 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct:
but, no signal rechecked at 1325! I try other WRMI frequencies:
nothing on 15770, 9395, 7780, 7730, 7570, so power failure at Okee?
JBA on 9455 but that could be TAIWAN.

I`m concerned because WRMI was also missing from 9955 the past two
Tuesdays when checking for WOR before 1330. Jeff did not reply to my
inquiry about being off the air on Tuesdays. However, there is another
explanation this week!:

``Space Weather Message Code: SUMX01
Serial Number: 165
Issue Time: 2024 Jul 16 1346 UTC

SUMMARY: X-ray Event exceeded X1
Begin Time: 2024 Jul 16 1311 UTC
Maximum Time: 2024 Jul 16 1326 UTC
End Time: 2024 Jul 16 1336 UTC
X-ray Class: X1.9
Location: S05W85
NOAA Scale: R3 - Strong

NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Potential Impacts: Area of impact consists of large portions of the
sunlit side of Earth, strongest at the sub-solar point. Radio - Wide
area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an
hour.``

Or, as spaceweather.com put it via Mike Terry: ``Departing sunspot
AR3638 exploded today (July 16th @ 1326 UT), producing an X1.9-class
solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme
ultraviolet flash. Radiation from the flare caused a deep shortwave
radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean. Transatlantic mariners and
ham radio operators may have noticed loss of signal at all frequencies
below 30 MHz for as much as an hour after the flare.``

What about SWLs?! It seems unlikely such an event would recur on a
`schedule` at exactly same time three weeks running. At 1327, WWCR was
JBA on 15825. By 1430, 9955 was again a JBA carrier.

WOR 2251 also confirmed Tuesday July 16 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia,
1322.994 kHz, S9+5 into UTwente; preceded by Wavescan, Jeff White
reading in Spanish publicity about the upcoming Mexi-DX meeting in
coördination with R. Educación. Next:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160;

``Where are you going, Cuba? --- Fidel Castro lost the country. Today,
Castroism is just struggling to stay in power, at any cost.
Jorge A. Sanguinetty, Miami 09 Jul 2024 - 21:26 CEST

Pursuing his cardinal goal of perpetuating himself in power, in 1959
Fidel Castro planted the seeds of a crisis that today seems to be
finally winding to an end. The bearded commander rose to power on a
scaffolding of unaccountable government so that he could implement his
personal agenda, breaking his promise to restore the 1940 Constitution
and hold democratic elections, as it was always his aim —privately
confessed to his most trusted confidante, Celia Sánchez— to foment
perpetual confrontation with the United States, perhaps because he
felt despised by how Washington treated him, perhaps because it was
the only enemy as enormous as his ego...``

here, unlike the usual pulse-jamming sound against no R. República
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 15 at 1455, RHC at S6/S8 of dead air, some hum,
not sure if JBM. Not found anywhere else, 15140 missing as usual.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, July 15 at 1915, NO signal from RHC`s first English
broadcast of the day - make that zeroeth, as usual. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. However, it can happen: Ron Trotto, IL, had it on July
12; and Rick Barton, AZ, on July 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, July 16 at 0137, S9/+20 of dead air in Spanish from

** CUBA. 4765, July 16 at 0151, no signal from R. Progreso; but 5025
R. Rebelde is on at S9+20/30 somewhat distorted. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, July 15 at 0201, pirate music at S7/S8,

intro but plays a tune first before host speaks at 2224. Opens mail
for first time, almost all QSL requests, some with standard wording,
from: Japan where it`s rainy season. Handwritten from Spain, can`t
make out name. Miss Mei Lin in Szechuan, China says she wrote 8
letters last year and 4 so far this year without any replies: host
thinx it`s because altho wrote in English, address is in Chinese only,
which the QSL dept. can`t handle. Another from Spain, ditto. A.
Klepov, Moscow, a regular. Another from Russia. Andrei Kuznetsov, a
Russian name in Riga, ``Letonia``. ``Eugene`` K. in Russia. Craig
Tyson, Perth, Australia, two in a row. Jayanta Chakroborty, India.
Says QSLs in postal mail should arrive with stamps [rather than
metered?]. Two more from Tyson = four reports for four days in a row.
2240 time`s up, ``goodbye, my lovely dear listeners``, music fill
again until 2240 `L`box` intro/outro plays again, then music outside

1230 on 17620, IS until chop at 2254.8* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785.019, Mon July 15 at 2205, VOT English not off the
air, but unreadable direct at only S9 level equal to noise. 2225 into
UTwente when measured, S9+35/45, `The Energy Agenda` repeat about
effects of Russian/Ukrainian war. 2231 Ms Badax with `That`s Why`,
black is not a color. 2235 music. 2239 multi-lingual ID filler reel.

only twice before chop by 2255* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

of persistent late extension, leaving 9960 VANUATU alone but JBA. 9955
is still on past 1500 July 15, S4/S6 like noise level, cannot discern
if modulated. 5010 was also off at 0604, as it would usually match
9955 late activity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15150, July 15 at 0600, still no signal from WMLK, which
should have started at 0400 on a non-Sabbathday. Not a peep from

with tones flanking 1650, as I was about to (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1649.58 & 1650.42 approx., July 15 at 0612, ~420 Hz tone

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2251 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
July 13 at 2300 on WTWW 9474.981, S6/S9 into Maine SDR. A few minutes
earlier the signal direct faded way down, SID? Gradually recovered but
level in Maine is lower than it should be.

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 at 0000 on WRMI 9955, S7/9+5 into

Also confirmed UT Sunday July 14 from 0445 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, the

** U S A. 9395, July 14 at 0650, WRMI-6 in German, mentions tofu, and
apparently a recipe recited; not // 9455, WRMI-5 with TOMBS. Surely
the German is Supreme Master TV cult, unpredictably multi-lingual. But
skedgrid claims during this hour it`s on both frequencies. SMTV is
System J, but there is no separate ``J`` program schedule below,
skipping from H to K (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1649.585 & 1650.415 approx., July 14 at 0640, double het
against 1650 stations, i.e. a tone of about 415 Hz transmitted instead
of something off-frequency. There are only six US stations on 1650,
two Canadians, and zero Mexicans. Normally dominant are KCNZ IA or
KBJD CO, and despite proximity, hardly KFSW AR > really in OK (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. RF 19, July 14 at 1525 UT, STB gets BAD signal here,
which means it`s not KAUT OKC in ATSC 3.0, invisible but normally 
blocking anything else, antenna still aimed at OKC. Tropo is up to the north,
so presumably 1000 kW KWCH Hutchinson/Wichita KS which is not 3.0, for

** CUBA. 4765, July 13 at 0626, no signal from R. Progreso, so last
night running 3 hours past usual 0400* must have been a fluke, or in
Spanish not fluco but casualidad. 5025 Rebelde is on now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, July 13 at 0712 UT, S9+70 of dead air from local

other station(s) underneath, which I might have tried to pull by
nulling if it were not so late. Guess what? It`s still DA at 1544 UT
recheck. Is no one there or paying attention on Saturday mornings?
Guess what2? Its sibling station 1640 KZLS is also DA at 1545. And
both still dead at 1846! And 2210!! They are at radically diverse
transmitter sites. How about other CTB stations on FM? 107.1 & 106.3 &
97.7 & 96.9 & 95.7 are OK at 1545. Who cares about AM? (Glenn Hauser,
