 WORLD OF RADIO 1419 SUMMARY:

*VOA quietly terminated Russian broadcasts July 26; airtime may be 
 taken over by R. Liberty from August 1 
*``A certain lack of strategic thinking`` by the Bush administration, 
 says freemediaonline.org
*WYFR much stronger on 21670 than other 13m frequencies, indicating 
 it`s beamed northwest, contrary to schedules
*WYFR abruptly replaced 7780 with 7730 due to interference complaint
*WEWN off the air since July 28 for two weeks of maintenance
*WRNO tests not heard since about July 23; planned to start 
 programming August 1. Check 15590 in daytime, 7505 at night
*TV Martí as a government station supposedly not under FCC 
 jurisdiction, but FCC authorizes it to continue using channel 13 from 
 Florida Keys until January 24, 2009, and with ``technical parameters 
 at variance from those previously authorized``, whatever that means
*Rudy Espinal, once popular SW host on Radio Clarín, now announces on 
 FM station Raíces, webcasts: http://www.radioraices.org.do
*Only one report of FM de Mérida, Yucatán, lately, July 25 at 1200-
 1230 in Florida on 6104.84
*R. Nevada, Murillo, Tolima, Colombia, pirate station on 1510 heard in 
 Bogotá on second harmonnic 3020 around 2300
*Unidentified Peruvian on 5059.2 is La Voz de las Huarinjas, 
 Huancabamba, until 0215 and at 1320, ex-6819v
*A Peruvian called R. Andina on 6936.3 until 0304; not sure if the one 
 in Huancabamba, ex-6673, or Huancayo, ex-4995, or another station
*R. Marañón, Jaén, Perú, 4835v, barely audible abroad or presumed off; 
 but monitored earlier in Ecuador with very strong signal. May be 
 using NVIS vertical-incidence antenna, close-in `umbrella` coverage
*R. Voz Missionária, Brasil confirms it is deliberately using 5870; 
 heard at 0245 in Texas, presumably, aside WHRI 5875
*Two Brazilians on 6105, but R. Cultura Filadélfia is off, allowing 
 the other one, R. Canção Nova to be heard in Argentina at 2101
*unID on 3450v heard with programming pointing to Bolivia

 Paraguayans

 our website for much more, http://www.worldofradio.org
*CFRX, Toronto, about ready to reactivate on 6070; but will collide 
 again with Chile all night. If close enough to Toronto, you may hear 
 it in daytime without interference
*CBC British Columbia starts Chinese news service, 
 http://www.cbc.ca/bc/chinesenews with RCI people who are turned into 
 translators from journalists as RCI downgrade continues

*Recommended BBC frequencies for North America, none beamed here any 
 more
*New unlisted DRM station from Côte d`Azur on 25770-25775-25780, heard 
 in Austria, AGORA DRM TEST; not to be confused with another DRM in 
 France on same frequencies by TDF in Rennes
*Iran`s Italian language service is called Radio Italia, rather 
 presumptuously, and has changed a frequency at 0530-0630, 9770 ex-
 11670, which are via Lithuania
*Dutch pirate station Radio Lowland plans marathon broadcast Friday 
 August 1 from 0700 to 2400; or hopefully later for North American 
 reception, on 6310

 next day earlier, also Russian music on 5060. Pirate or big station

 Argentina to Europe M-F 1800-2200
*V. of Nigeria, 9690, heard once in June, once in July around 1400 in

*Buea, Cameroon confirmed reactivated on 6005, obits at 1455 heard in 
 Nigeria, blocked by BBC after 1700
*R. Cairo in the clear to Europe on 11550, thanks to temporary absence

 6000, 6150, 7235, 7275
*RRI Makassar, Indonesia, missing from 4750 but heard again in Florida 
 until 1000
