There is a PayPal donation button on the homepage of the website - www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they want to. If PayPal is no good for you then send me an email and we'll sort something else out.
Thank you.

A big thanks to the folks who have donated already.

Russian radio broadcasting will not face technical problems due to sanctions — expert

ST. PETERSBURG, June 15. /TASS/. Radio stations in Russia are able to cope with all the difficulties that may occur against the background of sanctions by unfriendly states, General Director for Radio with Gazprom Media Vadim Tereschuk told TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. "Russian radio broadcasters are certainly concerned of lengthened logistics in equipment supplies, caused by plenty of foreign components in the process equipment. However, positive factors are in place - several businesses in Russia are making signal transmitters comparable with foreign models," the top manager said. The industry is the most concerned of how to respond to radio broadcasting demands in the future. "Our concerns are more associated with development - the electronic industry will have to become somewhat tense in order to respond to future requirements of radio broadcasting. Nevertheless, the situation is currently stable. Broadcasting will not change at all in the environment of sanctions - the audience will not notice it definitely," he added.

The K7RA Solar Update

This past reporting week (June 16-22) began with a bang, when the daily sunspot number was 159. But sunspot numbers declined every day to finally reach 80 on June 22.

One new sunspot group emerged on June 15, another on June 16, one more on June 18, and another on June 21.

Average daily sunspot number over the week was 124.6, up substantially from 74.3 the previous seven days.

Average daily solar flux rose from 123.9 to 140.5.

Average daily planetary A index rose from 9.7 to 11.4, and the middle latitude numbers increased one point to 11.9

It was great to see the Sun covered with spots on Spaceweather.com. Use the Archives feature toward the upper right, and you can see the

daily solar images on the left side of the page for any date in the past. I particularly appreciated the image of June 17, our Sun blanketed with sunspots!

Unfortunately, a California wildfire cut off power to the Solar Dynamics Observatory Data Center at Stanford University, so solar images are not being provided, according to Spaceweather.com.

ARRL Field Day is this weekend. What is the outlook?

The latest from US Air Force forecasters Housseal and King at the USAF 557th Weather Wing shows predicted solar flux at 120, 115 and 110 on June 24-26, and Planetary A index of 8, 12 and 15. Field Day is actually on June 25-26, but it is useful to see the prediction for Friday. The planetary A index shoes a moderate but increasing geomagnetic instability.

Newsweek reported a recent sunspot:

https://bit.ly/3xNdZiB

The latest (Thursday night) forecast from USAF shows solar flux at 120 and 115 on June 24-25, 110 on June 26-27, 100 on June 28-29, 105 on June 30, 100 on July 1-2, then 105, 110, 115, 120 and 125 on July 3-7, 130 on July 8-9, 135 on July 10, 140 on July 11-16, then 138, 134, 125 and 121 on July 17-20, then 114, 118 and 105 on July 21-23, 100 on July 24-29, then 105, 110, 115 and 120 on July 30 through August 2.

The planetary A index prediction is 8, 12, and 15 on June 24-26, 5 on June 27 to July 7, then 8, 8, 12 and 8 on July 8-11, 5 on July 12-13, 12 on July 14-16, 10 on July 17, 5 on July 18-19, then 12, 18, 12 and 10 on July 20-23, then 5 on July 24 through August 3, and 8 on August 4-5.

F.K. Janda, OK1HH wrote:

"The distribution of active areas on the Sun according to heliographic latitudes has changed relatively little during the last three solar rotations, therefore the predictions of the overall solar activity level were quite reliable.

"The parameters of the solar wind, measured around the Earth, and the activity of the geomagnetic field had a similar course.

"The highest usable frequencies of the ionospheric layer F2 (MUF) were increased on June 19-20. The sporadic-E layer played the most important role in the shortwave propagation on June 16-19."

I have no idea what prompted an incredible series of news stories late Thursday. Was it a slow news day? Perhaps an indication of a respite from national tragedies?

The following websites contain stories about our Sun, and the emergence of a big spot. Interesting because on Thursday the sunspot number declined to 69 from 80 the day before, and much lower compared to the 124.6 average for the previous seven days:

** ANTARCTICA [non]. Re 12065, BBCWS special June 21, Richard Langley says June 23: ``BBC Mid Winter broadcast --- The BBC has archived the broadcast here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct42r7 I will be archiving my recording of the broadcast as received here in NB on 12065 kHz shortly. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. Correxion: somehow a way-off typo not noticed by anyone before me June 23. RVM NOT on ``9635.318V`` but fixed to:

Direct at 0635 June 22: 9673.318V, S6/S9 hetting something weaker on 9675.0, presumably a non-jammer CNR1 Beijing. And now:

9673.26V, June 23 at 0633, RVM, S7/S9 with music wobbling around this way-off frequency from licensed 9665 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2144)

** CHINA. 13920, June 23 at 1424, CNR1 jammer at S5/S7; also at 1429, 13530 S7 vs CODAR; 13130 & 13020 S5/S7 vs unheard Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, June 23 at 1425, RHC S9/+10 here but with FMish spurblobs with F# tone at roughly 13790, 13769, 13629, 13562. Unrelated 13740 fundamental also on S9 but JBM. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2144)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.7, June 23 at 0058 UT, lo-fi NWS severe thunderstorm advisory for Dodge City. 0101 KJIL ads including for Lamar, Colorado. This is one non-commercial?? band channel normally open here, but KJIL is now audible despite heavy ACI from both sides. All this on caradio in hot garage. I am looking for Es but storms in NW OK and SW KS are tropoing a bit. But which KJIL relay on 90.7? WTFDA db shows only KS is 180-watt-V only K214AU Sharon Springs in the NW.

Rather, by Jove, this must be OK: KJOV Woodward, 26 kW, 97 m. Then I find other Woodward signals enhanced: 88.1 KWOU, 23.5 kW, 224.1 m, which I would dearly love to hear like this always; 100.1 edging local LP on 99.9, KWFX, 100 kW, 264.5 m. And talk on 92.3 I first guessed KS but likely also Wdwd KMZE. Woodward is only 136 km = 85 statute miles city-to-city from Enid. I continue to resent this small town having local full-power relays of public radio KGOU and classical KUCO, unlike much larger Enid; it helps to be relatively isolated but still culturally attached (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** UKRAINE [non]. 5010, June 23 at 1210 check when I happen to awaken, JBA carrier only from WRMI aimed south as still on skedgrid with Ukrainian Radio relay at 12-13 except Fridays, despite dropping it at 0500 on 7730. Is it really still on, and if so, with any new programming, including English at first? You can tell if it`s new by the Day # of the war, which on June 24 e.g. would be #121 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2144)

Roger Miller (Sunday, June 26 @ 0000 UTC)

Along with Ray Stevens and a couple more performers, Roger Miller began his pop career singing "silly songs." "You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd," "Chugalug," and "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died," are three examples of the songs that made Roger famous. However, he had many serious songs that rivaled anything during his career.

The next update is scheduled for August.

Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, June 22 at 1536, first check for LRA36 this Wednesday: NO signals into three Argentina, one Uruguay and four Brasil SDRs. Could it have come and gone already, or not at all today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 4924.8, June 22 at 0647, no signal from Tefé, relaying Aparecida or not. That reactivation was only briefly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9673.30V, June 22 at 0255, R. Voz Missionária straying further than ever from nominal 9665. Via Campo, Brasil SDR, hard to pinpoint but if tuned to 9673.30, S4/S6, carrier offset fluxuates between +78 and +128 Hz. Then tuned to 9673.40, fluxuates +40 to minus 57 Hz. 0406 recheck same tuner, 9673.30 plus 10 to 26 Hz.

Direct at 0635 June 22: 9635.318V, S6/S9 hetting something weaker on 9675.0, presumably a non-jammer CNR1 Beijing.

Wolfgang Büschel had reported earlier June 21: ``ZYE890 R. Voz Missionária, Camboriú SC. Web player \\ 9673.290 kHz centered 2306 UT, up 10 to 30 Hertz shift on 9673.300 kHz <https:\\www.radiovozmissionaria.com.br> And web player via URL \\ https://www.radiovozmissionaria.com.br/radio/?w=janela [selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz] (wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 21)``

Later, June 22 at 1540, finding no Antarctica, my Campo is still tuned to 9673.00, with a good S9+15 of RVM music, +227/243 Hz offset fluxuating less than before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 6030, June 22 at 0645, some talk JBA under wallofnoise Cuban jamming otherwise against nothing. Seems emphatic and possibly English, as a gospel huxter, but more likely comedian on CFVP Funny 1060. Why in the world doesn`t CKMX get a change to a clearer SW frequency? Such things are unthinkable to domestic oriented broadcasters. On 6030 not only Radio Martí and consequent excessive jamming, but per Aoki also problematic at least during our night hours: CNR1 DRM Beijing, Ethiopia; possibly borderline India, Myanmar (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, June 22 at 1410+, this RHC transmitter is really haywire now; instead of two main spurblobs equally displaced above and below, I`m hearing blobs all over the band coming and going, best recognized by the F# tone when tuned in FM mode even if any recognizable talk modulation lax: and they are very broad/wide so frequencies cited are more approx. than ever: 13792, 13748, 13652, 13602, 13628. Another check at 1453: 13635, 13662, 13730, 13767, 13798, 13829-13832, 13864, 13900. Now fundamental 13700 is S9+10/20. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. Re my last reports of no signal from 9440 R. Cairo English, Alan Holder replies on the WOR iog June 22:

``[WOR] Radio Cairo back on air --- I listen out for them every day. The last broadcast in any language was on June 16. It's unusual for them to be off air for such a long period. I sent an e-mail to their Propagation Department on June 21, asking whether they have abandoned short wave.

I haven't received a reply yet, but I notice that today they are back again on 9410 at 1600 in Albanian. The distortion is still there accompanied by the usual loud hum. I will listen tonight to see if English reappears at 2115. [did it? missed checking here -gh]

The second transmitter (no hum, but severe distortion) which was used for Turkish, Russian and French (9900, 9870 and 9810) has been off air for 7 weeks. [Later, at 1752: The second transmitter on tonight with Turkish at 1700 on 9900 after a long absence. Low level modulation with some distortion as before.]

Recently, there were a number of consecutive days when the English programme was heard with perfect audio, but the transmitter hum made listening very tiring.

With 9 transmitters on site, they must be able to fire up one of the others, or if not working, they could cannibalize them for spare parts for the two that are operational. It is likely that the technicians lack the expertise to undertake any serious repair work on their ageing transmitters. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 6185, June 22 at 0643, no signal from XEPPM --- but had reactivated yesterday. Off now because per Manuel Méndez, Spain, they signed off at 0502, which was the original schedule before they started staying on all night. Misleading ``100 kW`` power refers to day signal on MW 1060 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, June 22 at 0644, still no signal from VON. Have not seen any reports of this nor 11770- for some weeks (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. Re my log on 15170+, Ivan Zelenyi replies June 21 on HCDX: ``These are my little observations of the radio broadcasting of Saudi Arabia: on June 17 from 0400 UT at a frequency of 15170 kHz there was a program “Radio Saudi International” in Urdu. On the same day from 1600 on the frequency of 9885 kHz there was a program “Radio Saudi International” in Urdu. Also “Radio Saudi International” in Indonesian is received on 9675 kHz instead of Turkish programs. I have not heard programs in Pashto, Farsi, Tajik and Uzbek for a long time either`` --- thus it appears that its scheduling is very erratic or there have been major changes as yet not compiled. The 15170 broadcast was supposedly nothing but Arabic Qur`an 0300-0600. WRTH 2022 had Urdu only at 1200-1500 on 13775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2143 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday June 22 from 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490, S7/S9 with storm crashes, -70 Hz into Maryland SDR = 7489.930; exact time correlated with WWV on same SDR. Direct at 2128, JBA as usual in summer. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW; 9455? to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 5950, 4980 & 4975, June 22 at 0648, WRMI-8 and WRMI-4 are off the air --- but not an outage, rather deliberate schedule change per skedgrid now dated June 21: WRMI-4 still shown as 4980 but NO broadcasts for 24 hours; WRMI-8 on 5950 which had been 24h, is now shown 19-04 UT only. There may have been some other reduxions.

This leaves TOMBS overnight with ONLY 5800, 5850, 7570, 7780, 9395, 9955 from WRMI; 6160- from WBCQ; 3215, 4840 when not dead air, 5890 from WWCR. Ten frequencies, o my! So hard to choose which ones to avoid. Well, eleven, including the WWCR leapfrog on 5980, several more if including the bonus 9955 spurs. 9455 WRMI still on with SMTV at 0648 but distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, June 22 at 2129, no signal from WRMI-9, which is still scheduled 11-02 UT including VOA Flashpoint Ukraine at 1930 M-F. Elsewhere on 19m band, VOA Grimesland Bambara inbooming at S9+30; NZ 15720 also audible and 15825 WWCR JBA as usual without Es boost; altho K-index is 3. Also as usual, WRMI-7 Radio Africa 21525 is still a JBA carrier at 2124 despite nominal 2100*. Something`s odd at Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, June 22 at 2136, WMLK S7/S8 with gospel huxter, yawn; 300 kW?? Slightly weaker than 50 kW neighbor WINB 9265 at S6/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, June 22 at 2122 UT check, KLEY Wellington KS still dead air on groundwave (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 22 at 0639, RV S7/S9 with drumming concluding the public-announcements segment, into a song; JBA on 7890, third and second harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10121.30 USB, June 22 at 0655, 2-way contacts. If hams, supposedly only Australia allows phone on this band; but certainly not in English, unrecognized language, so intruders? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Media & Tech - 22/06/2022

Tonight's Radio Angela Broadcast

Tonight's Radio Angela Broadcast (WBCQ 5130 kHz, June 22 at 10pm-12:10am EDT or June 23 0200-0410 UTC) begins with Randy Lee Holt's Radio New Music, which features original new music by independent artists. Randy, who gave away a radio in a QSL promotion a few weeks ago, is beginning a Listeners Club you may wish to join.

Radio New Music is followed by FinnFolk. Host Sauli Heikkilä recently published a book on mandolin music, and this episode includes some very intriguing and perhaps even surprising mandolin performances.
