{Fixing a few minor typos:}
** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, April 15 at 1503, Voice of Martyrs - Korea
with TV preacher lecturing as if to children, taking The Trinity as a
given in total self-assuredness, S9+10/20 into Perth, better than
Kuwait or UTwente gets the secred* site; 1525 fading down to S6/S9,
1529 wrapping up with email and off. Soon replaced by *1530 Vatican
Radio in Arabic, much stronger S9/+15 into UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) {*typo: did I mean secret instead of sacred? I may have coined
a new term!}
** TURKEY. 9830, April 15 at 2200, Voice of Türkiye opening English,
VG S9+20/25 strength into UTwente, first with transmission sked. On
M/W/F I usually check both this and SPAIN q.v. for English to us.
Aside from whether Spain`s subject may be of interest, it`s no contest
to choose the pleasant voice of Justin Coe in perfect English, over
the Türkiguy trying to be understood through the lo-fi overmodulation
and hum. Something`s always awry at Ankara and/or erroneous at
Emirler. I leave it on in the background and hear the beautiful IS
loop already running by 2250; chops off at 2254.6* before it`s about
to switch from English postlude to German prélude (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 7780, UT Sat April 16 at 0000, this WRMI to southwest just
came on, right into Alameda Bible study in Spanish, NOT Radio Free
America Latina, as alleged in a WRMI post on disgraced FB about such a
new program at 0000 UT Saturday, a repeat of 0000 UT Friday on 9955
which I am yet to catch. The System D program grid however shows the
7780 airing as 0030 UT Sat. This proves to be correct as I check that
while listening to WBCQ into the other ear. The wrong time on FB has
not been corrected!
We now know that the word Radio is pronounced as in Spanish, the word
Free as in English; and the rest in Spanish; why not Libre? A
perfectly good Spanish word. Opens with some jaunty, non-LA theme
music. Into TWR RGV SDR on 7780 it`s S8/S9+5. Editorial de la semana
is about guerra en Ucrania. As implied in their publicity, anti-Commie
and LA fellow travelers. Announcer Dolores speaks with artificial
voice. 0035 more jaunty music; 0037 another ID; 0044.5 it`s over, back
to Zanotti ID, fill music starting with `Sandunga` on marimba, one of
our favorites, and more fill to hourtop (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
