** ALGERIA. 17600, July 16 at 0630, Ifrikya FM in French, S7/S9 direct
and the SSOB besides several JBA carriers with Doppler flutter, but
not on this. If anyone catch them in English again, let us know, but
probably on no reliable schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 7, KOCO ``5`` OKC, celebrates its 70th anniversary,
from July 15, 1954, originally KGEO analog A5 in Enid, owned by a guy
named GEOrge. Many items about Enid on their newscasts of July 15,
2024, audiovideos of 2 minutes more or less:

** 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
https://www.trtdinle.com/radyolar
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 =
noise level, considerably weaker than Romania 11800. 2233 into UTwente
when measured, S9+40/50 in music. 2237 ``always-by-your-side`` promo,
and `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` = Van, city of breakfasts, music.
Did not refer us to these:
https://www.dailysabah.com/life/food/expat-briefer-why-a-van-breakfast-is-special
https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/van-turkey-world-capital-of-breakfasts/index.html
2244 ``a-b-y-s` again, multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2247 music. 2253
s/off version ignoring SW. 2254 IS. 2256 restart IS with German IDs.
Chopoff at 2259.8* just in time to avoid extra German. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15120, July 16 at 2205, SSOB at S9+20/40 - but it`s dead
air, obviously VOA failing again to turn itself off after M-F 2130-2200?
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
co?rdination with R. Educaci?n. 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.
As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated. Thanks this
week for a generous contribution from William T Hassig, Mt Prospect
IL, by check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK
73702.

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9955, July 16 at 0635, WRMI in Spanish at S9+20/25 bothering
9960 VANUATU. So it`s again the unscheduled RFI relay (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15150, July 16 at 0637, DEJOM at S9+15/20, 0638 WMLK ID, so
this broadcast reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, July 16 at 0634, YL in Bislama, presumably the PSA
spots on R. Vanuatu, S7/S8 with ACI from WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1649.58 & 1650.42, July 16 at 0628, ~420 Hz tone not
from Iowa, again. Is anyone else hearing this? Should not be hard to
pinpoint. Maybe so only after a local midnight. Could be plugged into
wrong satellite feed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13828-13850 approx., July 16 at 2248, OTH radar
clickery, peaking at S9, and still audible under PMS on 13845 WWCR
S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
