** ARGENTINA [non]. Further chex for expanded RAE relays on WRMI, May
23-24:
11580, May 23 at 2119, now RAE German has replaced R. Slovakia in
English during this hour, including some tango.
11580, May 23 at 2225,
this hour is still in Spanish // 5950, not Italian. RAE did upload an Italian
hour to WRMI as early as May 22 along with all the other languages. (One has to
be careful monitoring, as the Argentine accent in Spanish is Italian-influenced,
and Italian service might include clips in real Spanish.)
7730, May 24 at
0015, still `Jazz from the Left` on WRMI, instead of RAE in Spanish, so perhaps
other variety programs during this hour will also continue for a while
longer.
11580, May 24 at 0146, PCJ Radio International is still running
during this hour on UT Wednesday, as an additional frequency for the RAE English
hour has not been implemented; remains on 9395 only.
7730, May 24 at
0610, Japanese RAE again, but 5850 is now in BS // 5890 WWCR not synched. 5850
had been running World Music mostly during this hour. The WRMI grid shows the
06-07 Japanese and 07-08 English on BOTH frequencies. With 08-09 Chinese and
09-10 Japanese on 5850 only. Really, 15-16 JST in the summer is too early to
expect much propagation to Japan on 5850; and even 7730 may not be making it
much that soon.
11580, May 24 at 1316 and 1351 chex, during RAE French
hour as heard yesterday, off the air! Or JBA carrier possibly exciter from WRMI,
as 11825 WRMIBS is S9. Or Sound of Hope 0.1 kW in Taiwan as in Aoki and/or
provoking ChiComjam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN.
15520, May 24 at 1400, JBA carrier; could Spain be there on Wednesday? Aoki
shows VIRI in Urdu until 1420 daily, so that overlaps with Spain on weekends
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1020, May 24 at 1403
UT check, KOKP Perry is still off the air, as it has been since at least May 20.
