 1000 UT and evening until 0230, is Radio Causachun Coca, ``long live 
 coca``
*Radio Virgen de Remedios, Bolivia, on 4555 for a while, back to 4111
*Radio Nove de Julho, Brazil, back on SW, 9820; named for 1932 date of 
 revolt against dictator Getúlio Vargas, and had been forced off the 
 air by another dictator later; reported from S America but not yet N 
 America [watch out for Cuba 9820 from 2200 except weekends]
*Two Hondurans doing the same thing at 1123, preachers in English 
 being translated into Spanish, R. Luz y Vida, 3250, and Radio 
 Misiones Internacional on 3340
*Radio Verdad, Guatemala, 4052.5, heard with Swedish ID at 0548
*XEPPM, Radio Educación, Mexico City, 6185, normally off air in 
 daytime, came back on after 1400 Sept 10 while sponsoring the Bienal 
 about DRM and other radio matters; also heard on a Thursday until 
 1100 closing with Del Campo y de la Ciudad show, Sept 11 marking 
 assassination of Salvador Allende
*Radio Vision Cristiana, 530, South Caicos; and Caribbean Christian 
 Radio, 1020, Grand Turk, off the air for weeks from hurricane damage 
 and power outages
*UT Sept 13, as Hurricane Ike was about to hit Houston, KGOW, Bellaire 
 TX, 1560, relayed KPRC-TV channel 2 and ran day power of 50 kW all 
 night, instead of usual 100 watts; widely heard in eastern North 
 America and Europe
*Houston`s major news radio station, KTRH, 740, not so widely heard 
 tho 50 kW; may have stayed on tight direxional pattern
*Nothing heard then on FEMA frequency 5211; MARS nets heard on 4008, 
 4021, 5153.5
*KLVI, 560, Beaumont TX still off the air days after hurricane, but 
 sister FM stations carrying its news
*Highly recommended, Bill Moyers Journal on PBS Sept 12, about 
 reclaiming civil discourse, against rightwing hate talk radio, full 
 transcript and video: 
 http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/09122008/watch.html
*VOA anchor Neil Currie speaks out against turning off SW 
 transmitters, reducing language services
*WWRB worth listening to only when playing big band fill music, on 
 3185 one night in the 0000 UT hour, another in the 0100
*Last Saturday night on WWCR, 5070, UT Sunday Sept 14 at 0230,
 previous week`s World of Radio 1424 played by mistake, so those
 depending on this transmission missed #1425, which was really the
 previous editon to the one you are hearing now; unless you retrieve  
 it, e.g. from http://www.worldofradio.com/audiomid.html
*Reminder that WBCQ is running World of Radio Fridays at 2301 on Area 
 51, 5100; also temporarily Mondays at 2201 on 7415 [in addition to 
 Wed 2100 on 15420, Thu 2330 on 7415]

 our address where your contributions are welcome: woradio at

*CHU frequency change from 7335 to 7850 is not yet ready; will give 30 
 days notice in on-air announcements
*Revived CFRX, Toronto, frequency corrected closer to 6070, but 
 modulation dropped to almost inaudible. We researched other stations 
 using 6070, including Belarus, Liberia, Indonesia, North Korea, 
 Thailand, Russia, Philippines, Swaziland, China, Romania, and worst 
 of all Chile, all-night
*Arabic on 710 kHz around sunset is CJRN, Niagara Falls, at least

 human experience, such as war and music, Sundays 8 pm on CBC Radio 1, 
 Saturdays noon on CBC Radio 2; local times + delayed zonal webcasts
*Shortwave transmitters at Flevo, Netherlands are being dismantled, so  
 RN abandoned plans to ever use them again; for spare parts in Germany
*Deutsche Welle German service, Saturdays at 1430 has intriguing music 
 show, Muzprosvet; can be heard well even in NAm on 15420 via UK

 and New Zealand the next three Saturdays, Sep 20, 27, Oct 3 at 1030-
 1059 on 9770
*Switzerland in Sound interviews Bob Thomann on his 80th birthday Sept 
 24; available this weekend
*Radio Exterior de España mentions that it plans to continue on SW 
 plus additional platforms, but the DX program in Spanish will be 
 renamed [no longer Amigos de la Onda Corta]
*La Bañera de Ulises, excellent show of Mediterranean music and 
 culture, once on REE, then only on RNE Radio 3, was canceled at 
 Junend, but six years of shows archived, plus blog at 
 http://labaneradeulises.org/
*Radio Medi Un, Morocco, 9575, has wonderful music, Arab, French or 
 even English
*1Africa, Zambia, 13590, aimed at Nigeria, also puts good signal into 
 North America around 1900; stealth evangelism with constant musical 
 bed aimed at younger listeners, in stark contrast to neighbors on 
 dial, plodding Harold Camping on 13615 and equally soporofic preacher 
 on WINB 13570
*New Ethiopian clandestine I mentioned recently is Ginbot 7 Dimts 
 Radio, Tue/Thu/Sat 1700-1730 on 17655 and 21555 via Samara, Russia; 
 higher frequency inaudible in Europe
*Another new Oromo clandestine is on 15670, 1600-1700 Sun/Tue/Thu [V. 
 of Oromo Liberation Front] 
*Israel redesigned REKA website, including on-demand to four remaining 
 English programs no longer on SW: Weekend Report, Sunday Edition, 
 Culture Report and Face to Face via http://www.iba.org.il/reka/
*More mixups on All India Radio: Guwahati 4940 and 7280 were off the 
 air a while; Gorakhpur on 3935 instead of 3945, so don`t take it for 
 New Zealand
*Democratic Voice of Burma reported testing relay via KHBN Palau, 13-
 14 on 12095 Mon-Tue-Wed, but not confirmed
*RRI Indonesians making it on 60m, especially 4790 Fak Fak mostly with 
 Qur`an before and after 1300, unlike 4750 and others; is it more 
 Islamic?
*Papua New Guineans making it to Oklahoma on 90m, around 1300, best 
 being 3385, R. East New Britain, Rabaul
*Radio Australia, 9785 via Darwin heard with English lessons for 
 Indonesians at 2230 UT Saturday; quite different from Kang Guru Radio 
 English, also provided by Australia, on RRI 9680, Wed & Fri 0805
*KHNU, Hilo, Hawaii, 620, ex-KIPA back on air testing; full power is 
 10 kW plus two repeaters on west side of Big Island
*We can enjoy abstract kaleidoscopic art on TV screen thanks to not-
 quite-locking-in DTV on a channel from Oklahoma City [32] with local 
 analog interference; see if you can get something similar
*Propagation outlook from SWPC, Boulder, Sept 16
