*R. Kawsachun Coca, Bolivia, says it is `adjusting` SW 6075 around

*Central African Republic heard on 7230, but reduced power
*Chinese New Year, Jan 26, so look for special programming from Asia
*China censors Pres. Obama`s inauguration speech where he criticizes 
 fascism and communism
*Mystery on 5555 at 23-02 UT may not be R. Juventud, Pasto, Colombia, 
 but a mix from Europe, with timesignals like RNE, Spain

 remain and will continue broadcasting from there until April 1, 2010
*New Islamic clandestine for Ethiopia, R. Bilal, Sundays 1700 on 9610 
 via Russia, originates in Washington

*Shiokaze, abduction clandestine for North Korea, changes both 
 frequencies
*Voice from the Wilderness, religious clandestine for NK, adds SK on

*Thanks for financial support from David Goren
*The Cross, Micronesia, still plans to resume SW 4755; awaiting 
 technician
*Medi-1, Morocco, with much better signal on LW 171, now audible 
 daytime in UK
*Carrier being heard on 5005 could be R. Nepal; they say they are on 
 at reduced power

 final closedown decision; maybe they will run one final DX broadcast
*At least two 500 kW MW transmitters coming for Kano state, Nigeria

 Russia, per WRTH
*Russian transmitters putting out spurs
*Serbia heard on 7100 believed to be a pirate relay of 6100 via Sicily
*BBC using the IBB site in Thailand to reach Burma, probably because 
 its own site is too close for good skip distance

 UT Tue, Wed, Thu
*Clear Channel firing 1500 people on inauguration day hoping it will 
 be overlooked
*FCC chairman Kevin Martin resigns Jan. 20; his successor will be a 
 Democrat and let us hope the FCC will start serving the public 
 interest. But he too is a lawyer, not an engineer

 Worth
*Propagation outlook from Boulder, Jan 20. Solar Flux still stuck at 
 70
