Using all modes on the 2m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator.  Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Wednesday the 25th of June. Last week was good from a geomagnetic disturbance point of view. Up until Wednesday the 25th, the Kp index had not been higher than 3.67 and had mostly been in the ones and twos. This helped HF propagation to a great extent. Sunspots have been present with the solar flux index sitting at 120 on Wednesday, the 25th. A look at the visible disk at solarham.com  shows five sunspot groups facing Earth. None are ground-breaking, but they are at least helping to keep the solar flux index relatively high. Daytime F2 MUFs over a 3,000km path have been reaching 18MHz and even 21MHz at times, with 14MHz being more reliable. Sporadic-E continues to make 28MHz a useful band for short-skip, with much of Europe being workable mid-morning on the 25th, at least using FT8. Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Finland were all easily worked on FT8, but nothing was heard on the usual 10m CW and SSB frequencies. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 140 to 150 range. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for the 1st to the 3rd of July, when the Kp index could reach 4. And conditions may become unsettled again on the 6th and 7th, again with a predicted Kp index of 4. But in the meantime, make the most of the Sporadic-E on the 10m band, as it won't last forever! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The more traditional summer weather, with patchy rain and showers, is likely to continue for a bit longer. The more persistent rain is likely in the north, closer to low pressure near Iceland, whereas the rain may be more intermittent in southern areas, closer to high pressure over France. This probably rules out any significant Tropo in northern Britain over the coming week but does allow for the occasional enhancement in the southern half of the country. Most areas will have some rain scatter opportunities for the GHz band operators, although perhaps fewer in the south than in the north. The solar conditions have quietened down a little in terms of aurora recently but as we said last week, don't forget to look north in the twilight sky for signs of the pale noctilucent cloud. This is a high-summer phenomenon. See if you can detect any wave patterns, like ripples on a sandy beach, in the cloud. The month of June tends to be quite good for meteor input, and the last of the set, the June Bootids, peaked on Friday the 27th. So, there should be some good chances for hearing the odd ping or two or even seeing one in the evening sky after dusk. The primary mode of interest is still Sporadic-E, which is in full swing and doubtless being topped up by the Bootids meteors, which produce the main ingredient of Sporadic-E propagation – long-lived ions as they ablate, or burn up, upon entering the atmosphere. In terms of the usual search for the placement of Sporadic-E events geographically, the main jet stream interest is likely to be across the northern part of Europe for the coming week. This suggests trying paths to Scandinavia and the Baltic states, whereas for triggers due to upper air ridge patterns, use the more southern routes. The Moon has passed perigee for this month, so path losses are rising. Moon declination is still high, not going negative until Tuesday, the 1st of July. 144MHz sky noise is low, increasing to moderate by next weekend. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Baroness Casey's interim report into group-based child sexual exploitation—often referred to as "grooming gangs"—has laid bare  widespread failures across UK institutions to confront this horrific abuse. Authorities frequently avoided recording the ethnicity and nationality of perpetrators, fearing accusations of racism. Two‑thirds of cases lacked any ethnicity data, though local records in areas like Rotherham, Greater Manchester, South and West Yorkshire revealed a disproportionate number of Asian‑background men were responsible.To discuss this, Richie is joined by two tireless - and fearless - campaigners for justice for the victims of these rape gangs. Former teacher Marilyn Hawes works around the clock to educate children, parents and educators to recognise the patterns of grooming.https://freedom-abuse.org/https://x.com/MarilynHawes7Raja Miah MBE is a a long-standing campaigner and whistle-blower who's been at the forefront of exposing grooming gang scandals, particularly in his hometown of Oldham.

Episode 605 – The Veg Grower Podcast After a whirlwind week travelling the country with Lee Connolly (aka the Skinny Jean Gardener) and his brother Dale, I'm finally back in the potting shed—albeit with a few snapped cabbages and a whole lot more inspiration. This week's podcast is a mix of travel tales, allotment updates, and a fantastic interview with Andy from Hotbin. We're also talking chickens, cucumbers, and how kids are the future of gardening. Touring with 10,000 Budding Gardeners Last week I joined Lee and Dale on a mission to get 10,000 children gardening. We visited schools all over the UK, delivering high-energy seed sowing sessions filled with laughter, dancing, and even a few water pistols. The highlight? Seeing children leave with big smiles and wildflower seeds in their pockets. But it wasn't all sunshine and spuds. A visit to the Royal School for the Deaf opened my eyes to just how inaccessible our audio-based content can be. It's made me think seriously about making the podcast more inclusive. Suggestions welcome. And then there was the visit to the iconic Blue Peter Garden… I won't spoil the video (coming soon on Lee's YouTube channel), but let's just say the vege patch didn't quite live up to childhood memories. Back on the Plot: Mulch, Mayhem & A Greenhouse Surprise Returning to the allotment after a week away is always a mixed bag. Thanks to good pre-trip watering and some faithful mulching, most of the crops survived—broad beans, potatoes, onions, and garlic all doing well. The big jobs this week? Planting out the squashes, courgettes, pumpkins, tomatoes, and peppers. I'd delayed them due to frost warnings and dryness—and it looks like that was the right call. Chef Scott lost half his squashes to a rogue frost! My greenhouse, however, was the biggest surprise. The cucumbers and tomatoes in the autopots had tripled in size while I was away! It just goes to show how reliable that watering system is, even in warm weather. Chickens, Slugs & Sustainability We had a great message from listener Laura in West Yorkshire this week, who asked about chickens and whether I'd ever keep bees or other animals. So this episode includes a little segment on what it's like keeping chickens in the garden. Spoiler alert: I wouldn't be without them. From eggs to pest control to rich compostable manure, chickens offer so many benefits. But they do require care, especially when you go away, and can be destructive if left to free-range during planting season! Bees and ducks are on my “maybe someday” list—but for now, chickens remain my top pick for productive pets. This Week's Recipe: Gluten-Free Rhubarb Crumble Chef Scott returns with a seasonal treat—rhubarb crumble with a twist. This version is gluten-free but packed with flavour. Head to the blog to find the full recipe and give it a try with your latest rhubarb haul. Question of the Week:Do you garden with your children—or grandchildren? What are your tips for getting kids interested in growing food? I'd love to hear your stories. Leave a comment below or drop me a message. Until next time,Richard

The Ilkley Moor alien photo, taken in 1987 by retired police officer Philip Spencer, is one of the UK's and the world's most debated pieces of alleged extraterrestrial evidence. While walking across Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, Spencer claimed to have seen a strange, small humanoid figure. He snapped a photo just before the being fled, and shortly after, he reported witnessing a silent, flying craft in the sky. The blurry image shows a figure with an odd, non-human shape, which many interpret as an alien. The case is made even stranger by Spencer's claim of missing time and a subsequent experience of hypnosis, during which he recalled being taken aboard a craft. Despite skepticism and controversy, the photo remains a staple in UFO lore . . . but is it real?-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

The UK has set a pesticide reduction target of 10% over the next five years. The UK Pesticides National Action Plan from all four UK governments says it will support farmers and growers to reduce the potential harm from pesticides, so rather than farmers using 10% less, the plan wants more sustainable use which reduces the impact on the environment by 10%. While environmental groups have welcomed the plan they describe the target as modest. The government says that UK farmers reduced pesticide use by 60% between 1990 and 2020, at the same time worldwide use in agriculture increased by 90%.

He explains how one line of poetry is enough to change your life.David grew up amongst the moors and fields of West Yorkshire, with an English father and an Irish mother who had a gift for lyricism and language.He started writing poems at just seven years old, but it wasn't until he was working as a guide in the Galapagos Islands that David truly understood what poetry was and what it could do for us.A near-death experience there prepared him for life as a poet by teaching him to pay attention to what lay right in front of him at any given time.Since then, David has written hundreds of poems loved by the world, recited as often at weddings and funerals as they are on less auspicious occasions.This episode of Conversations explores literature, language, prose, philosophy, epic stories, nature, marine biology, zoology, near death experiences, mortality, grief, love, origin stories, adventure, Charles Darwin, Ted Hughes, William Blake, Bronte sisters, Carl JungFurther informationDavid has written and published several collections of poems and essays. His latest is Consolations II, published by Canongate.David is currently in Australia on tour. He is speaking in Sydney on 22 February and in Melbourne on 25 February.

Murdering 13 women between 1975 and 1980, he left many other women alive but badly battered and traumatized.

I have recently become aware of a campaign started by a lady in Wakefield West Yorkshire. The “Safe Lines, Safe Lives” campaign. Anneka Murphy is a haemo dialysis patient with a central line to her heart as access for the life saving dialysis needed, until she gets a transplant.  Anneka has recently been informed the shower pouches she uses from Independence direct, that she was getting on prescription, are now stopped due to their cost.  These pouches are essential to prevent the central line from getting wet. It is national guidelines central lines must remain dry to prevent serious infection, but without the appropriate tools how are patients with a line meant to do this?  Anneka has raised this with her MP Jade Botterill who is escalating but support from other MP's would be appreciated. Please raise this with Wes Streeting the health secretary. Patients health is at risk of serious infection without these pouches. All patients in West Yorkshire have been now told these will no longer be issued. This is not just an isolated occurrence as it is happening in pockets all over the country.  Please keep me informed .   Kind regards   ………….*name     Contact Kidney Care UK   •           Website: www.kidneycarekuk.org •           Email: info@kidneycareuk.org •           Tel: 01420 541 424 •           Facebook: www.facebook.com/kidneycareuk.org •           Instagram: @kidneycareuk •           YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeqQTdAsEzXphqjHVtcTD-A   To sign up to receive the Kidney Matters Quarterly Magazine Email: info@kidneycareuk.org

It is Bizarre News and Blind Rankings time again! This week, we cover:Story 1 - A mysterious rectangular structure resembling a door was spotted via Google Maps on an Antarctic mountainside, sparking widespread speculation about potential hidden bases, ancient civilizations, or extraterrestrial activity. While skeptics suggest the formation is likely a natural geological feature or satellite imaging artifact, the discovery has reignited broader discussions about Antarctica's unexplored regions and what might lie beneath its icy surface.Story 2 - A 20-year-old psychic medium from West Yorkshire named Hannah Rose maintains a collection of 14 allegedly haunted dolls, which she claims can cause paranormal disturbances including hiding objects and, in one case, scratching her arm. Having experienced paranormal encounters since age seven, Hannah dedicates herself to caring for these dolls through cleaning rituals and communication sessions, viewing her role as providing understanding homes for spirits, a calling she believes she inherited genetically from her similarly gifted mother.Story 3 - While countless people worldwide report ghostly encounters, scientists explain these experiences through natural phenomena such as sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and the brain's tendency to misinterpret ambiguous sensory information. Historical research reveals that ghost stories have evolved from pre-1800s tales of spirits with unfinished business to more personal encounters in modern times, though the most commonly reported paranormal experiences remain unexplained sounds rather than full-bodied apparitions.Story 4 - A 32-year-old Minnesota woman named Phoenix Nightingale suffers from acute intermittent porphyria, a rare metabolic disorder that causes severe attacks of pain and vomiting when triggered by sulfur-containing foods like garlic - the same condition that allegedly inspired vampire legends through its supposed connection to Vlad III (Count Dracula). Having endured over 480 excruciating attacks throughout her life before receiving a diagnosis last year, Nightingale now carefully manages her diet while advocating for better awareness of rare conditions, as she must avoid common ingredients like garlic that could potentially trigger fatal reactions.Story 5 - A group of hikers in Chile inadvertently captured what appears to be a mysterious woman's face in their trail selfie, which subsequently gained viral attention on Facebook's supernatural community with over 1,400 likes. While some social media users were unsettled by the clearly defined facial features visible in the image, others remained skeptical about its authenticity, highlighting the common tension between supernatural interpretations and potential photo manipulation in modern ghost photography.For Blind Rankings, we rank the top 7 WORST Halloween treats.Patreon: Support Believing the Bizarre and get tons of extra content by joining our Patreon.For updates, news, and extra content, follow Believing the Bizarre on social media:InstagramFacebookTwitterDiscordShop Merch: You can rep Believing the Bizarre and buy some unique merch
