** EAST TURKISTAN. 13855, March 23 at 1352, CRI in Chinese and 13670, CRI
English at 1357 with filler `China Studio` Chinese lesson; both S9+20, by far
the SSOBs, and both 500 kW, 308 degrees from Kashgar for Europe, per Aoki
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 11730, March 23 at 1315, TWR IS and 1316 ``Namaste`` opening some
south Asian language, music and talk. Aoki shows it`s KTWR going from Santhali
to Assamese, 100 kW, 290 degrees from Aga?a (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 3945, March 23 at 1218, J-pop on fair signal from JOZ5, Radio Nikkei
2 (certainly not Vanuatu now), while RN1 on 3925 is talking. 3945 is the RN2
frequency currently curtailed for maintenance, per info from Takahito
Akabayashi via Wolfgang B?schel I mention on WOR 1870. However, it is not
totally off the air but only between 22 and 10 UT thru April 4. Also the
weekend exception no longer applies after March 19. Per Aoki the normal
schedule of 3945 is 23-09 UT weekends, 23-14 UT Mon-Fri, or rather UT Sun-Thu
during the first hour. Meanwhile the RN1 frequency down for maintenance is
9595, totally, no exceptions, from March 22 to April 11 according to that info
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, March 23 at 1305, Sea Breeze from JSR still here in
English Thursdays, punxuated by signature sounders every minute or so between
headlines (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 730, March 23 at 1228, ID for ``107.1 FM, Fiesta, y 730 AM``, i.e.
XEHB, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, 50/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 980, March 23 at 1230, which is Enid sunrise, phone numbers, ``es la
FQ, una estaci?n del Instituto Mexicano de la Radio``, i.e. XEFQ, Cananea,
Sonora, 2.5/0.5 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 11750.039, March 23 at 1313, off-frequency carrier stix out, poor in
Cambodian. It`s RFA at 1230-1330, 100 kW due west from Agignan Point. So this
IBB site continues unable or unwilling to nail down its frequencies. 11750 also
used by FEBC, KTWR, AWR, et al. at other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1870 monitoring: first SW airing Thursday
March 23 at 1130 on WRMI 9955 NOT confirmed as not on the air when checked at
1144 (while 9395 was S9+10). But confirmed on 9955 webcast check at 1155. NOT
on 6855 either, as the 11-12 UT hour is now duplicating the 5950 `AWR` hour,
not // 9955 until 1200 (and all programming on 9955 only has moved one UT hour
earlier; so affects WOR on Thu & Tue, and some `Wavescans`; DX PROGRAMS and
RADIOSKD updated. `Antena DX` heard instead on 6855, as scheduled Thursdays
1130 on 5950.)
(BTW, official AWR A-17 schedule from frequency management in Germany shows 10
transmitter sites, not including Okeechobee! What do they know? See
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs which still in B-16 shows some AWR hours on
5950, 6855; but will they be gone in A-17? I doubt it. And don`t the dozens of
`Wavescan` repeats count?) Next WORs:
Thu 2130 WRMI 11580 to NE
Thu 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Fri 2230 WRMI 11580 to NE, 6855? to WNW, 5950 to S

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, March 23, UT:
At 1140: 684-WSW, 702-WSW, 774-WSW, 828-WSW
At 1213: 1098-W
At 1222: 1548-WSW, 774-NW
At 1224: 1098-W
That`s an interesting group: WSW ones would be Australia or NZ, where there are
no stations greater than 10 kW on 684 & 828. Note how 774 produced both DU and
Asia, i.e. Australia and later Japan. 1098 of course is the Marshall Islands
carrier. And 1548, 4QD Emerald, Queensland which has been making it with audio
as far as IL and MI lately. Enid sunrise today 1230 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
