** ALASKA. 6.8 MHz area, March 27 at 0623, no HAARP noise as heard last night after 0700. Walt Salmaniw says it was a no-show tonight even later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ARMENIA. 1395, March 27 before 1800, no signal into Izhevsk, but R. Svoboda relay in Russian on by 1800, S6/S9 vs hi noise level which had not been before at this Kiwi, while // 1386 Lithuania has a slightly better S/N ratio. I was concerned this might be gone since yesterday the next hour on SW 9370 had vanished: see RUSSIA [non]. Checking other W Russia remotes for 1395 just after 1800 March 27: Khimki is not connecting. Pskov gets a good S7/S8 signal with ACI from 1386, SAH, and slight musical CCI but no jamming. On the same remote I hear that 1395 is running about 5 seconds behind 1386. Also heard via Tambov, and guess what, at 1907, 1395 is still on with TOMBS in SC English I at first thought was an unknown language; VG S9+5/15, same wacko as on 9980 WWCR but not synch (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BOTSWANA. 15610, March 27 at 1453, non-English talk, and not WEWN which still does not start before 1900, if even then.
