** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, Oct 3 at 1832 checking for a second day of R. Africa activity, only a JBA signal so I can`t tell whether it`s this or Philippines; but NIGERIA DRM 15115-15125 is still audible, and presumed OMAN AM on 15140, so suspect it`s not EqG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11675, Oct 3 at 0535, RNZI is in AM instead of usual DRM here! Also AM on // 11725 during sports/news, which is slightly stronger. Own website does not favor us with power and azimuth details, but HFCC registrations show 11675 DRM at 25 kW on double (either/or?) azimuth of 35/325 degrees; 11725 with only 50 kW at same double azimuth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 7320, Oct 3 at 0539, music on fair signal with flutter, R. Rossii ID, i.e. from Magadan (``Okhotsk`` as HFCC-registered), getting into winter propagation mode this early from 59+ degrees north. Also poor at 1246 during jazz song in English?

Used to be at 1305. GRA blog reports that REE is increasing its news output by 65%, with at least headlines every half hour and some longer news blox later such as at 1400 (UT?). But the 1300 news has really been contracted; must also mean overall reduxion in non-news musical and feature programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
