** CHINA [and non]. 15535, March 15 at 1354, CNR1 jammer with Sunday-night opera, poor hetting 15537, i.e. V. of Tibet, per Aoki 1337-1400 due east from TAJIKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM [and non]. 11580, March 15 at 1309, KTWR with sermon in English interrupted by consecutive translation to Vietnamese; about equal level with Brother Scare via WRMI as these two continue to collide: WRMI 24 hours (also some other programming), and KTWR at 1245-1330, -1345 on Saturdays. HFCC also shows on 11580 at other hours: India and Pakistan, the latter probably imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Sunday March 15 at 1315, RNZI with reports extremely critical of the Australian government over treatment of asylum seekers detained on Nauru and elsewhere. Among other things, thousands of letters to the detainees were intercepted and returned to senders. Show outro at 1335 with strange title in Maori(?) tho it was all in English; RNZI ID with SFX, 1336 into Feature Album, ``Breakin` Away``. RNZI sked in UT+13 shows this was: ``2:05 AM Tagata o te Moana --- A weekly Pacific magazine programme features New Zealand and regional Pacific news, issues, information`` and music [and next entry not until:] ``6:00 AM Pacific Regional News`` tho Tagata is only a 29 minute show! specifically this one: ``Tagata o te Moana for 14 March 2015 (28'39) http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/programmes/tagata-o-te-moana/audio/20170931/tagata-o-te-moana-for-14-march-2015 Monster storm makes its way through Vanuatu; Repair work continues on vital Kiribati causeway; Torture concerns surrounding Australian action in the Pacific; Letters of support to Nauru refugees are returned to sender; There's a muted response from Fiji over NZ spying reports; Uncertainty continues around a multi-billion dollar project on Tahiti`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U A E. 21780, March 15 at 1351, very poor signal with talk, normally unheard at all. HFCC says at 13-14, DW Hausa via UAE. Much weaker than the SSOB, 21505 Riyadh (and still no 21540 Kuwait) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Re KVOH missing from 9975 around 0200 UT Mar 15, Ray Robinson replies: ``Hi, Glenn. Equipment failure again, I'm afraid, but the good news is we think we found the cause of the undermodulation. We should be back on Monday on both frequencies, but it's unclear at this point whether or not we will be able to run on 9975 tomorrow [UT Monday March 16]. We most likely will be off for the weekend. Sigh....`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5760-SSB, Sunday March 15 at 1338, long discourse about reducing current draw of battery-powered radio equipment, which most of the time is only receiving rather than transmitting. Finally 1348 outro as ``training topic this week``, and finally ID of this station as 6TG, contacts with 6QE and 6IA. Good steady signals. Probably some nearby MARS net, with truncated calls, but wasted enough time searching for calls and frequency with no results. Air Force?
