 WORLD OF RADIO 1402 SUMMARY:

*Israel Radio finally does it --- closes all shortwave broadcasts  
 except Persian; live streaming and several languages including 
 English, on demand at http://www.intkolisrael.com
*Galei Zahal, Israeli Defence Forces radio, remains on SW 6973 and 
 15785 variable, in Hebrew but lots of good music, and a   
 `marblemouth` DJ
*Iraq is not going on DST this year
*Iran`s new English schedule; some frequencies vary up to 2 kHz
*Aslam Javaid, Lahore, monitors the two conflicting transmissions of 
 Radio Solh, inside Afghanistan on 6700
*Radio Pakistan`s new English schedule, as reduced
*Sri Lanka changes its SW schedule, including English at 0030-0330 on 
 6005, 9770, 15745
*IBC Tamil via Germany now 0000-0100 on 7320
*All India Radio, Itanagar has been off-on-off-on 4990, at latest 
 report on; also Shillong 4970
*R. Thailand on 12120 ex-12095 to E North America, 0030 English, 0100-
 0200 Thai --- but collides with radioteletype; moved from 12095 due 
 to DW Sri Lanka. Maybe they can swap
*English from Lhasa ``Holy Tibet`` schedule, but you`ll only get the 
 Chicom party line
*Shiokaze/Sea Breeze service about Japanese abducted by North Korea 
 moves to 6020 at 1400-1430, following R. Australia; some days in 
 English
*N. Korean harmonic from 4450 `jams` Narita airport Japan air traffic 
 communications on 8897
*V. of Mongolia`s English at 1530 on 12085 now confirmed, at least on 
 March 25
*Radio Madang, Papua New Guinea, 3260, sent informative QSL letter to 
 Mark Schiefelbein: now called NBC Madang, and NBC plans to close all 
 SW by 2015y
*Thanks for financial support from Harry Helms, to celebrate George W. 
 Bush Day, via PayPal to woradio at yahoo.com
*WBCQ on new 15420 April 2, but lots of interference from Deutsche 
 Welle via UK, UAE and later Rwanda; in clear after 2100 including 
 WORLD OF RADIO at 2300; but next day resumed 17495 
*This season`s VOA Greenville frequency in English to Africa at 1730-
 2000 is 15410, also putting excellent signal off the back to Central 
 North America; but depending on skip, and especially eastward, 
 collides with CVC Miami via Chile, already on 15410. Beams cross on 
 the west coast of Africa
*World of Radio on WRMI 9955 jammed by Cuba April 2 at 1130, among 
 many other times. If being jammed is a badge of honor, we proudly 
 wear it; Commies vs Okies?
*CBC Northern Quebec, 9625 well heard in Europe lately, including 
 Arctic local news in English weekdays at 2130-2140
*RCI A-08 English from Sackville to Europe or Africa, so also audible 
 back in North America: 1800-1900 on 17735; 2000-2100 on 15235, 17735; 
 also has new relay via Emirler, Turkey at 0100-0200 on 9620, in 
 exchange for Turkey via Sackville, 0300 on 7325 [which was finally in 
 English from April 4]
*Kai Ludwig suspects RCI self-censors its broadcasts via Japan in 
 Chinese, since it has large relay exchanges with China
*RCI made change from 7310 to 7325 two sesquiweeks later than planned, 
 so now at 1105-1405 it is blocking any possible reception in NAm of 
 Wantok Radio Light, Papua New Guinea during those hours
*Last-minute plans for special DX test material on the last night of 
 CBA, 1070, Moncton NB, early Monday April 7 until its final closedown 
 at 1000 UT; see http://www.dxtests.info
*CBC axes North America`s last radio orchestra, the CBC Radio 
 Orchestra, Vancouver, another sign of disrespect for classical music 
 by CBC management, also dumbing down Radio 2
*Chuck Bolland hears intriguing Latin American harmonic on 3200.13 
 around 1030 UT; on his recording the ID sounds to us like Radio 
 Minuto, but stations by that name unfound on 1600, just 1500 in 
 Nicaragua, 1520 in Barranquilla
*Cuba extends usage of 12000 from morning to afternoon, but now 
 colliding with HCJB before and after 2300
*REE relay, Costa Rica, remains off frequency 5964, but 9764 corrected 
 to 9765, while 11815 goes off to 11814!
*VOA, RFE/RL and Radio Farda relays via Morocco all closed March 30 as 
 IBB withdrew from Briech site, but still in use by Morocco`s RTM, 
 e.g. 5980 at 0230
*Radio Oromiya, 6030 in Adama City, Ethiopia, officially launched tho 
 DXers have been hearing it for weeks; not to be confused with Radio 
 ICDI, missionary station in Central African Republic on 6030, which 
 is probably getting blown away by it
*V. of the Broad Masses of Eritrea on new 5955 at 0357, but is it just 
 for jamming?
*Radio Cairo confirmed on new 9280, English to North America at 2300-
 2430, but very undermodulated; European languages concluding with 
 English 2115-2245 on 11550 ex-6250 to mixed reviews
*Poland`s English schedule via Germany, as corrected
*International Radio Serbia moves from 7115 to 6185 for English to 
 North America at 0000 and 0100, but lots of interference from 6180 
 and Mexico 6185; 6195 seems clear. Earlier English to Europe at 1300, 
 1830 and 2100 on low-power Belgrade 7200, the last two also on hi-
 power Bosnian 6100
*Radio PMR, Pridnestrovye on new schedule: 6040 to NAm including 
 English 2200, 2245; 12135 to Europe including English 1400, 1445,  
 1530, 1615, all alternating with French and German. Had been 4 days a 
 week, now more than that?
*V. of Russia, English to NAm, was excellent via Germany on 6155, now 
 moved to 9480 from 0200; only 7 MHz frequency left is 7250 at 0100-
 0200, then mostly on 9 and 13. North Americans may also hear 1400 
 broadcast to South Asia on 15660
*2008 issue of BLANDX, DX parody available just in time for April 
 Fool`s Day, http://www.blandx.com
*New censored HFCC public schedule for A-08 is already available via:
 http://www.hfcc.org/data/index.html 
*Propagation outlook from Boulder: flux peaking at 80 April 18-20; A & 
 K indices 5 & 2 April 12-21 ###
