 WORLD OF RADIO 1411 SUMMARY:
*Saudi Arabian transmitters keep radiating nothing but loud buzz,  
 spikes blotting out entire SW bands, notably from 15205, 11915; but 
 occasionally relent, so maybe they are monkeying with problem rather 
 than ignoring it
*If this racket had landed in a hamband there would have been hell to 
 pay, with the DARC/Intruder Watchers jumping on it. No one is looking 
 out for the interests of SW broadcasting. But protests are now going 
 to S.A. thru official channels
*R. Pakistan WS has live audio of Urdu broadcasts via 
 http://www.radio.gov.pk
*Plus little English newscast at 1100, but now shifted to 1000, as Pak 
 suddenly went on DST June 1 of UT +6, which shifted all external 
 broadcasts one UT hour earlier without warning; `major` English 
 broadcast at 1600 now should be 1500-1515 on 9385 11565 15625.4
*Two new 100 kW transmitters being installed at Landhi, near Karachi, 
 will have two rotatable curtain antennas, like those in Portugal, 
 Oman, Turkey
*AIR Kargil, Jammu & Kashmir MW station reported in Indian press to 
 have gone on air with 200 kW May 30. WTFK? Must be 684 kHz, but 
 already listed in WRTH two years ago as 200 kW
*All CNR-1 frequencies from China carry daily national news
 conference around 0800-0900, in Chinese with complete translations
 in English, following quake; still doing so?
*Chinese Firedrake musical jamming resumed May 29 after 10 day 
 substitution by CNR-1; SARFT thus admits it is responsible for 
 jamming
*CRI English to NAm at 0100 has two separate programs: regular on 9580 
 via Cuba, 9790 Canada; and China Drive from Beijing, domestic service 
 via Albania 6020, 9570
*V. of Indonesia before and after 1400 this week: on 9525, 9526, or 
 missing; usual unpredictability
*R. Veritas Asia, Philippines, 9 of 16 antennas destroyed by Typhoon 
 Cosme, so many transmissions have to be put on remaining antennas at 
 wrong azimuths, e.g. Vatican relay 1220-1315 on 6020 on 280 instead 
 of 355 degrees 
*Whenever such a pious station suffers a disaster, one must wonder 
 about its true relationship with God
*R. New Zealand International`s new analog schedule from May 30
*Broadcast auxiliary from Texas on 25870 identified as from KLDE,
 104.9, Eldorado, skipping out thanks to sporadic E; unknown why they 
 are on 11 meters
*QSO with Ted Randall on WBCQ 7415 retimed to UT Sundays 0300
*WRMI, 9955 has been working on antenna aimed northwest, and signal 
 seems improved, including 14-16 UT with Prague relays, DX programs 
 such as World of Radio; 16-21 weekdays with WRN relays, 21-24 with 
 Overnight AM for the paranormal community
*WEWN puts leapfrog mixing product in Spanish on 11170, 11870 over 
 11520, at 0100; could happen between 0000 and 0600, also the other 
 way on 12220
*The non commercial, non communist, non corporate, non Christian, non 
 capitalist, non Cumbre, DX program, World of Radio, P O Box 1684, 
 Enid OK 73702
*Thanks this week for financial support from Larry & Jane Will, via 
 PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com
*Much more info at our website http://worldofradio.org
*Standard disclaimer
*If you hear Russian on 5920, it`s not necessarily R. Rossii, 
 Kamchatka, on the air 22 hours a day. WBOH, North Carolina has 5 
 minutes of Russian weekdays at 0635, which we ran across
*Also on WTJC 9370, which on another occasion was putting big FMy blob 
 on 9255-9285
*Chuck Bolland in Florida heard R. Rossii at 1000 on 5920, apparently 
 when WBOH was off
*WHRI 11785 was accompanied by big spurs around 11771, 11799 clashing 
 with Anguilla, Cuba; but for Hmong Lao Radio, Sunday at 1300 was on 
 unlisted 11750 alone instead; what about this Sat, Sun?
*Domestic newspapers can take news from VOA site without cost or 
 copyright problems as long as they initiate it
*CKBD Vancouver approved to move from 600 AM to FM; but CBC flagship 
 CBU, which also has many AM and FM relays, has to keep 690
*CJCH 920 Halifax turned off without usual 3-month overlap, becoming 
 101.3 The Bounce
*XEXQ, 6045, San Luis Potosí, Mexico, barely audible in OK at 1302, 
 while inverted V antenna is lowered to only one meter above ground 
 level
*R. Nicaragua, government station on 620, knocked off the air by cable 
 theft, and no money to replace it; was best DX bet for this country
*RHC, 11680, collides with Spain on 11680 at 0000-0200; and with DRM 
 from Kuwait before 0300 on 11670-11675-11680, New Zealand after 0300
*R. Amazonas, Venezuela, reactivated around 4940 but extremely 
 distorted, heard two or three nights at 0130
*La Voz del Guaviare, Colombia, 6035, 2230-0300 IDs also as Radio Uno 
 in network relay
*Ondas del Suroriente, Quillabamba, Perú, 5120.1 heard at 2207 in 
 Colombia; announces 5070
*R. Globo, Rio de Janeiro, reactivated on 11804.7 to 11804.8 both 
 morning and evening
*R. Guarujá, Florianópolis, Brasil, 5980.55 reactivated after ``a long 
 period of hibernation with severe technical problems``
*RAE, Buenos Aires, also had severe technical problem, theft once 
 again of a cable feeding programming to transmitter, so off the air 
 May 30-June 1; when back we found it on 15343.9 around 2200
*Woofferton transmitters in UK putting spurs on 9415 and 9610 from mix 
 of 9480 and 9545 at 06-08, with DW relay; also in Arabic on 12380 at 
 0830, mix of BBC 15180 and DW 13780
*International Radio Serbia took our advice and shifted from 6185 to 
 6190 for North America 2330-0130, including English 0000 & 0100, no 
 longer colliding with Mexico City; poor here, very good in northeast
*Never mind the schedule announced last week of Algeria via France; it 
 lasted only 4 days, but continues to be relayed by VTC transmitters 
 in UK, Portugal; speculation about who pays for all this, French 
 intelligence or CIA to counter Libya`s broadcasts?
*Like Pakistan, Morocco went on DST June 1, of UT +1, to save energy, 
 match Europe; effect on few remaining SW transmissions not known, but 
 15345 may close an hour earlier at 2100
*R. Bana, Ethiopia, 5100 heard in English until 1800 sign-off
*Miraya FM Radio, in Arabic, English to Sudan via Slovakia at 15-18 
 moved to 15650
*But collides with V. of Oromiya Independence Sat 1700-1730 via 
 Germany, so that may be moving
*R. Cairo continues colliding with WEWN 11550; was 11550.1, but now 
 heard on 11549.5 including undermodulated English at 2115-2245
*Propagation outlook from Boulder, June 4: solar flux 67-70-67
