Sept 19 at 2100, WRMI with `La Rosa de Tokio`, historical media program from
Argentina, this week all about the song `Lili Marleen`, how it was a favorite of
the Nazis until they lost the battle of Stalingrad, and then became beloved of
all sides in the War. Played several versions of it in German, Italian, French,
English, Dutch? Nice how such a specialized topic can be stretched to fill
almost an hour (until 2153, then music fill). Excellent reception as usual on
this bigsig aimed right at us, suitable for max musical bandwidth on the R-75

** U S A. 1060, Sept 20 at 0131 UT,
praise music in Spanish with slight edge over the CCI; 0134 ID as ``KIJN, desde
Farwell, Tejas --- testimonios, adoración``, website and postal address, ``y mil
bendiciones``. Call letters pronounced in Spanish. Not exactly a gringo accent,
but not true Mexican accent either. So confirmed reactivated after almost two
years. Is 10 kW daytimer, slightly skewed directional circular pattern favoring
the WNW, but plenty this way too. Guess what? Official FCC sunset for KIJN in
September was 0100 UT (October: 0015 UT). Back to their old trix; will carrier
and/or modulation stay on all night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
