** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 13755, Jan 24 at 0740, RNZP is S6/9+10 with ``Melanesian Update`` in Pidgin, mentions Vanuatu. Would be the OSOB if not for JBA on 13860, so it`s the SSOB. 13860 is NHK Japanese direct to S America from 0700. That`s 4 am local at the latest, as the JJ migrants must be real early-risers? Sked for Tue in NZ DST UT+13:
``8:28 PM. Melanesian Update includes Pidgin News from Koroi Hawkins followed by BuzzFM News from our partners in Port Vila, Vanuatu. 9:00 PM. ABC Wantok Program -- 30 minutes of news and current affairs from ABC Australia from Monday to Friday in Papua New Guinea Tok Pisin, Solomon Islands Pijin and Vanuatu Bislama pidgin languages`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 15385, Jan 24 at 1623, S5/S7 of talk with heavy Doppler flutter unlike other weak signals on band. Only thing anywhen on 15385 in Aoki & EiBi is IRRS with Oromia National Media, clandestine for Ethiopia, on M/T/W/F/S at 1600-1630 via Galbeni. Maybe longpath? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 13710.056, Jan 24 at 1628, Qur`an, SBA always sorethumbly off-frequency on my morning bandscans but not measured for longtime until now; 1657 checked at UTwente, AMsync shows 13710.051+, S9+40/50! Some long pregnant pause at 1658 but still going at 1753; scheduled 1457-1757 via Riyadh, but really chopped off abruptly at 1758* during Qur`an with no announcement; Allah`ll get `em for that? There had been a het before, and now am hearing a tone at same pitch locked onto 13710.314+, what? No other broadcaster sked now on 13710. 2205 & 2305 rechex, *still* S9 carrier on that exact frequency with tone. Maybe something local at the SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003+, 2305 Jan 24, VOT S9+25/35 into UTwente, good modulation with a bit of hum during news; 2306 something about the Qur`an threatened by fascism? 2309 sports about a Russian/American tennis match, and others in Australia. 2310 CCCCCCI starts from XJPBS, but way under. 2313 Review of the Tuerkiyish Press. Qur`an incident in Sweden, Erdogan uses it to diminish NATO chances; and a few other brief items, over at 2315 already, to song break. 2318 Weekly Commentary: on Turkey`s rôle in western security considerations, by Duke Coffee?, of a DC think-tank, axually about Black Sea region and the Russia/Ukraine war; cooperation in drone produxion between Tuerkiye and Ukraine. Bottom line: Turkey is important! 2325 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2328 song. 2332 VOT: ``always by your side``, a rather meaningless claim, and more music. 2336 a recipe. 2339 violin music. And more music until 2352 sign-off announcement starts --- but chopped off the air after only a few words, uncovering XJPBS on 5960.000+. Beware: UTwente kept displaying 5960.003 from VOT until refreshed. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
