For everyone whos been following this saga of my 1215 UN'id, we finally
have an answer!
Thanks to a friend, an indisputable method, independent of ABC Radio, was
used, and we have confirmed my 1215khz UN'id audio matches that of 720ABC
Perth.

INDIA [and others] 4896.0, AIR Kurseong, occasionally this off frequency
anomaly happens, as it did today (Nov 29), as noted at 1308 UT; normally, on
most days, heard on 4895.0 kHz.
4970, AIR Shillong, at 1056 UT on Nov 29, with unique AIR IS.
(Ron Howard-CA-USA, DXplorer via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov 29)
Checked some South East Asian outlets on eastern Thailand remote SDR unit

5040.002 IND AIR Jeypore in Hindi, subcontinental singer and SoAS

4920-both even frequency, AIR Chennai, Tamil Nadu-IND aligned and
CHN Xizang PBS, Lhasa, Tibet \\ 4905 kHz from Lhasa-Baiding
#602 transmission center, both equal signal strength.
Phone-in program in Tibetan from Lhasa-Tibet, but Hindi

4765.069 TJK Dushanbe Tajik Radio.
Something must be technically wrong these past weeks there.
On Nov 27-28 heard a much strong - technically distorted
audio signal on odd fq of +68 to +69 Hertz fq oddity.
Never observed before from this technically reliable bcast
center. Dushanbe-TJK 7245 kHz seems even and in good audio
condition these days. I guess only an older USSR era TX
is in alternate use these days in 60 meterband on 4765v kHz.
Only S=4-5 signal noted in eastern Thailand.

S=8 at 1430 UT on Nov 30.
Shrill woman voice chorus.
3324.998 INS SUPRISINGLY South East Asia music station, most
likely RRI Palangka Raya, S=7 signal strength at 1432 UT,
Listen to attachment MP3 file recording.
Terrible 3480 kHz channel, multi audio signal of KRE and KOR stations.
3479.987 KOR - main Korean language Voice of the People, via Goyang,
Korean program strongest peak -, others are
bubble and whistle and noise jamming signals, on 3479.007 kHz,
3479.546 kHz, and 3480.087 kHz.
8 x varying peak signal visible on Perseus screen,
like a film varying of bubble frequencies.

A lot of DX friends worldwide sent me their RRs in past 3-4 days, and report
about technical faulty transmissions of Dushanbe TJK, especially on 60 mb.
I guess one of their high-power modern TXs is now on repair work,
and an older USSR era alternate transmitter is NOW in use on 60 mb,
its odd frequency of +68 to 69 Hertz oddity, like a 50 kW unit ...
Signal strength today,
in South and SoEaAsia is much weaker than usual in past decades.
