7970, very poor at 1134
10300, poor at 1238
12270, good at 1234
11500, fair at 1142; fair at 1319
12980, fair-good at 1318
13130, fair at 1233
13500, good with flutter at 1232; good at 1316
13920, good with flutter at 1234; fair-good at 1318
14400, good at 1316

** INDONESIA. 9526-, June 19 at 1139, VOI in Special Chinese, mentions Indonesia, typical jingles, fair signal now but by 1309 during scheduled English hour, only a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9650, June 19 at 1244, instead of English from KBS World Radio via CANADA, there is an orchestral music loop with Korean announcements repeated, mentions ``KBS``. At 1255 they have switched to a much shorter loop announcement in English, ``We sincerely apologize for the interruption in RKI transmission . . . back as soon as possible``. RKI??? Must be very old recording stocked in Sackville for such a feed loss, as name changed to KBS World Radio several years ago. Or Montreal master control. 1300 switched to CRI English relay with no problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 15340, good June 19 at 0513, YL interviewed amid crowd noise, speaking somewhat broken French, 0516 new program `Espace Culture`, about the Transylvanian International Film Festival. Thanks to the midnite sun near hi-latitude paths, we are now getting European daytime signals in the middle of our night, such as this, RRI, 0500-0530, 300 kW, 187 degrees from Tiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15285, June 19 at 0517, fair signal, with hum, rough modulation, uncertain language talking. Wolfgang Büschel in Germany logged it too at 0626, as BSKSA Riyadh in Swahili, 15285.028, 0400-0655 UT, ``heavy BUZZ audio, like motor race...`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 11880, June 19 at 1235, REE via COSTA RICA, `Amigos de la Onda Corta`, continues heavy promotion of encuesta (survey) about how we listen, on SW or what? One address given was amigosdx @ rtve.es and again toward the end of the show around 1255. Having individual addresses for each program also allows them to rank different shows` popularity. Once the results are in, will shortwave be reinforced or at least not abolished? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Sunday June 19 at 1141, WRMI with preacher in English, no jamming but very poor signal. So maybe it will not be jammed either on Monday when WORLD OF RADIO is at 1130. Further airings are Sunday 1530, 1730, Monday 1530, 2130, Tuesday 1530, Wednesday 1530, Thursday 0330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11535, June 19 at 1237 in Chinese, i.e. YFR via TAIWAN, now our best chance to hear it in the mornings with WYFR itself silent between 05 and 22 UT. In my remarx yesterday I at first typoed this as 11530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15740-15745-15750, DRM noise June 19 at 0519. Nothing in HFCC, Aoki or EiBi; how about the `official` DRM schedule at http://www.drm-dx.de/ Nothing there either! Nor on adjacent 15740 or 15750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
