** TAIWAN [non]. 5800, March 16 at 0059.5, WRMI ID by BZ after SMTV, and instead of RAE Spanish relay repeat, 0100 into music, unseems the publicized RTI relay test, but at 0102 I am hearing YL in Spanish with Chinese accent, talking about Dia Mundial de la Radio which was back on 13 febrero; S9+20/30. Soon mentions Radio Taiwán Internacional, so that`s it with old program for test; includes music breaks and sounders. 0129 RTI contact info; 0131 into some kind of music/fill.
The third series of relay tests, after two which went bust, is supposed to be UT March 16-17-18: 0100 on 5800, 0200 on 5010, 2200 on 7780.
5010, March 16 at 0228 I barely tune in time to catch closing of RTI, poor here, but guess what? It`s also on very poor 7780, and much better 9395! (Just before WOR follows at 0230 on 7780.)
7780, March 16 at 2214, jazz music, 2221 RMI Spanish ID, more music. Not RTI relay, maybe APS Radio as originally scheduled. However,RTI did show here yesterday as Richard Langley, NB reported: ``Noted in Spanish on my recording of yesterday (15 March) at 22:00 UTC on 7780 kHz instead of Voice of the Report of the Week.``.
Let`s see what happen to these & other WRMI frequencies March 17-18.
So is RAE Spanish just deleted at 0100 on 5800? Last UT Saturday I was surprised to hear Hal Turner on there // 9455. Whither RAE Spanish? Outdated sked has long shown 2200-2300 M-F on 5010 System D. The transmission schedule shows 5010 not starting until 2300, and indeed no signal here at 2200 & 2215 March 16. And the Argentine DX bulletin Conexión Digital continues to publish every week totally wrong info about RAE, including 6060 which was soon replaced by 5800:
``ARGENTINA: RAE, Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior:
HORA UTC KHZ DIAS
0100-0200 O-6060 23456
2200-2300 O-5010 12345``
