** AUSTRALIA  5995.0, *0758, R Australia, Brandon. Waltzing Matilda IS 
until 0800 "Your listening to Radio Australia, its 6 PM is Melbourne" 
into news. Fair to good signal. (Jordan-TN)

** BOLIVIA  5952.41, *1004, (p) Em Pio XII, Siglo Veinte. Presumed this 
the one switching the transmitter on at *1004. Threshold audio noted 
from 1100 with male announcer. Extremely poor on both sidebands due to 
slop from adjacent channels. (Jordan-TN)

** BRAZIL  5999.99 0945-1047, R Guaíba, Porto Alegre RS. Weak and noisy 
but in the clear after WYFR 0945*, improving around 1000 with notícias 
and then and interview type program male announcer, also taking phone 
calls. Fading by 1030 and Cuba back on at 1047. (Jordan-TN)

** COLOMBIA  5909.99, 1020-1040, Marfíl Estéreo, Lomalinda. Female DJ 
playing ballads and romantic vocals, with TCs,IDs and chatter between 
songs. Good in LSB with 1.8 kHz filter to avoid UTE centered around 5912 
kHz. (Jordan-TN)

*0943 on 6035.09 kHz with transmission already in progress, drifting 
downward quickly and settling around 6035 and oscillating a few Hz back 
and forth. Variety of music and discussions, IDs and TCs. Also noted 
another station sign-on 6035.0 at *0948, likely PBS Yunnan. (Jordan-TN)

** KOREA  6003.0, *1041, (p) Echo of Hope.  Transmitter switched on at 
1041 although no audio present before Cuba-6000 *1047. Occasional 
snippets of audio heard between 1100-1200 amidst significant QRN from 
Cuba. Monologues by male and female in presumed Korean. (Jordan-TN)

** MALI  5995.0 *0556-0758, RTV Mali. Terrible slop from Cuba on 6000

consisted of monologues by male announcers until RA *0758 sign-on. Poor 
to fair. (Jordan-TN)
