Thailand on 12120 ex-12095 to E North America, 0030 English, 0100- 0200 Thai --- but collides with radioteletype; moved from 12095 due to DW Sri Lanka. Maybe they can swap *English from Lhasa ``Holy Tibet`` schedule, but you`ll only get the Chicom party line *Shiokaze/Sea Breeze service about Japanese abducted by North Korea moves to 6020 at 1400-1430, following R. Australia; some days in English *N.

Beams cross on the west coast of Africa *World of Radio on WRMI 9955 jammed by Cuba April 2 at 1130, among many other times. If being jammed is a badge of honor, we proudly wear it; Commies vs Okies? *CBC Northern Quebec, 9625 well heard in Europe lately, including Arctic local news in English weekdays at 2130-2140 *RCI A-08 English from Sackville to Europe or Africa, so also audible back in North America: 1800-1900 on 17735; 2000-2100 on 15235, 17735; also has new relay via Emirler, Turkey at 0100-0200 on 9620, in exchange for Turkey via Sackville, 0300 on 7325 [which was finally in English from April 4] *Kai Ludwig suspects RCI self-censors its broadcasts via Japan in Chinese, since it has large relay exchanges with China *RCI made change from 7310 to 7325 two sesquiweeks later than planned, so now at 1105-1405 it is blocking any possible reception in NAm of Wantok Radio Light, Papua New Guinea during those hours *Last-minute plans for special DX test material on the last night of CBA, 1070, Moncton NB, early Monday April 7 until its final closedown at 1000 UT; see http://www.dxtests.info *CBC axes North America`s last radio orchestra, the CBC Radio Orchestra, Vancouver, another sign of disrespect for classical music by CBC management, also dumbing down Radio 2 *Chuck Bolland hears intriguing Latin American harmonic on 3200.13 around 1030 UT; on his recording the ID sounds to us like Radio Minuto, but stations by that name unfound on 1600, just 1500 in Nicaragua, 1520 in Barranquilla *Cuba extends usage of 12000 from morning to afternoon, but now colliding with HCJB before and after 2300 *REE relay, Costa Rica, remains off frequency 5964, but 9764 corrected to 9765, while 11815 goes off to 11814! *VOA, RFE/RL and Radio Farda relays via Morocco all closed March 30 as IBB withdrew from Briech site, but still in use by Morocco`s RTM, e.g. 5980 at 0230 *Radio Oromiya, 6030 in Adama City, Ethiopia, officially launched tho DXers have been hearing it for weeks; not to be confused with Radio ICDI, missionary station in Central African Republic on 6030, which is probably getting blown away by it *V. of the Broad Masses of Eritrea on new 5955 at 0357, but is it just for jamming? *Radio Cairo confirmed on new 9280, English to North America at 2300- 2430, but very undermodulated; European languages concluding with English 2115-2245 on 11550 ex-6250 to mixed reviews *Poland`s English schedule via Germany, as corrected *International Radio Serbia moves from 7115 to 6185 for English to North America at 0000 and 0100, but lots of interference from 6180 and Mexico 6185; 6195 seems clear.

Had been 4 days a week, now more than that? *V. of Russia, English to NAm, was excellent via Germany on 6155, now moved to 9480 from 0200; only 7 MHz frequency left is 7250 at 0100- 0200, then mostly on 9 and 13.
