 WORLD OF RADIO 1416 SUMMARY:
*Radio República, clandestine for Cuba, changes frequencies: 22-24  
 9515, 00-02 9640, 02-04 still 6100
*DentroCuban Jamming Command hits them immediately, and also runs 
 jamming far beyond necessary hours on 9515; 11775, etc.
*CRI English via Cuba back on 13740 at 14-16, after one day on 13760
*NPR`s DX program On the Media replays feature on Border Radio,

 http://www.onthemedia.org/episodes/2007/11/16/segments/89005
*XERTA, 4800, heard before sunrise with English IDs, or open carrier
*Ecuadorean government closes two TV channels, and Radio Sucre; latter 
 still on air in Portoviejo
*Marumby outlet in Brasil heard on 5870, religious but with news block 
 at 0800-0930, UT? if local time, = 1100-1230 UT. Something audible in 
 evening here, but too much WHRI 5875
*Brazil readjusts timezones, eliminating UT-5 in extreme west; now UT-
 4 in Amazônia and beyond; UT-3 in all of Pará and the rest. SW 
 schedules may change 
*No SW officially from Ireland for many years, but:
*Wireless Public Address Systems from churches heard in Portugal on 
 Wednesday evening until 1900 on 27065, 27285, 27395, 27595, 27725
*And pirate Reflexions Europe on 12255 with religious programming 
 Sundays 1350-2140
*Poland puts external service on LW 198 kHz as fill when parliament 
 out of session; should include English at 0700, 1200, but not on at 
 night, so no problem for BBCR4/WS
*Double-whammy against Romania: not only is BBC cancelling Romanian 
 service August 1, but also RFE/RL --- not exactly, just to Romania, 
 but will keep it for Moldova, whatever that means
*Proposed legislation requiring ``happy news`` to balance bad news in 
 Romania opposed, president urged to veto
*Radio Maria, Italy, 26000, widely heard in Europe late into the night 
 via sporadic E, but no reports from North America; should be possible 
 by multiple-hop
*Italy now has another 26 MHz station, in DRM on 26050-26070, 20 kHz 
 wide carrying 3 programs at once including Rai Radiodue and Vatican 
 Radio; in Rome, or inside Vatican?

*RNGE domestic services on 5005, 6250 also heard July 8
*V. of Biafra International never changed to 15280 in June, but July 4 
 on 17650 announced it would move to 19 meters from July 11; check 
 Friday at 20-21 for this WHRI transmission

*Observed SW schedule of Myanma Radio; 9730.76 variable sometimes runs 
 past 1512
*V. of Malaysia, 11884.70, bad modulation in Chinese until 1230
*R. Singapore International not making it to OK in summer, English at 
 1100-1400 on 6080, even worse on 6150; but webcast clearly announces 
 closure will be August 1, after two weeks of commemorative 
 programming about its 14 years on the air
*V. of Indonesia finally takes our advice to put English on at 1300-
 1400 when reception in C&W NAm is best, on 9526. Then reception drops 
 out
*R. Netherlands in Dutch via Philippines on 9655 from 1300, but 
 carrier on as early as 1245 with tones, clashing with RNZI until 
 1259. IBB should crash-start
*IBB also wasting taxpayer money with open carriers long before 
 programming on 17895, 15410, 9565

 CW, from 0001 UT July 13; see http://www.radiomarine.org

 http://www.kxljradio.com
*KINY, 800, Juneau applied for power increase, then temporary decrease 
 due to electricity rationing; hydro power restored by early June
*KNLS, Alaska, English at 12-13 hard to hear in CNAm, but one day atop 
 Taiwan and Firedrake on 9780, weaker on unsynchronized 7355. Should 
 get off 9780 pronto
*CKRK, K-103.7 FM in Kahnawake, Quebec, Mohawk station near Montreal, 
 relaunched with new programming, webcast via http://www.k103radio.com  
 including Echoes of a Proud Nation Pow-Wow 1600 to 2200 UT July 12-

*Propagation outlook from Boulder, July 8: solar flux stuck at 66 ###
