** LAOS [non]. Altho on unlisted 11750 last Sunday June 1, Hmong Lao Radio via
WHRI was back on usual 11785, Saturday June 7, *1300:30 joining music in
progress, but then mostly talk including some untranslatable English words
dealing with legal matters, Vung Pao`s court battle, I suppose. 1353 recheck,
traditional rustic singing with fauna chirps in background. 100 kW transmitter
does not override the FE QRM as well as 250 used to, but fortunately this was a
very poor FE morning, with hardly any Firedrake heard anywhere. 1359 OCS and
WHRI ID, 1400 into Hmong World Christian Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. June 7 at 1313 heard something weak I had not noticed before on
15115, drumming and wailing, then M&W talk sort of Arabic-sounding, but not.
Per EiBi this is VOA in Somali at 13-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. VOA Greenville with another messup. 17530 is supposed to be English
news at 1400-1430, but June 7 at 1406 I found an open carrier; 1408:45 joined
music fill, 1415 C&W gospel song about Jesus! Violating separation of church
and state. 1417 announcement in French! Then Aretha-like singer with ``Almost
Persuaded``; 1421 another French back announcement, of that song. 1423
``Midnight Train to Georgia``. 1430 YDD sign-off. Did Greenville axually lose
the program feed from Washington and have to substitute something like this?
French is not even sked on VOA anywhere near this time, nor Creole, but this
wasn`t Creole (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13800, June 7 at 1403, quena music but not from HCJB, // 15130 and
17555, WYFR of course, 1404 into FR theme, La Biblia Habla. They should play a
lot more Andean music and forget the Bible stuff; fat chance. I can hardly wait
to hear Harold Camping in DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. June 7 was waiting for Cuban music to appear on 15460. At 1558
there was a weak carrier, but at 1559:30 a very strong carrier cut on and a few
seconds later the music, with no announcements. Previous days this has run
until 1859, then 17660 from 1900 past 2100. If these are tests to assess a new
clandestine service, could be from more than one transmitter site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
