MALAYSIA [SARAWAK] 5030 Sarawak FM via RTM, at 1340 UT on Jan 9. The
usual presents here of CNR-1 was absent today! In vernacular; EZL pop
songs; 1400 1+1 pips; "RTM" news; long music segment of repetitive
indigenous drums accompanied by chanting/singing; phone conversations;
sign off probably at 1600 UT. If China continues to be off the air here,
folks should have a decent chance to hear this station that is normally
buried under CNR-1. 1506, Jan 12. In vernacular; the "RTM Kuala Lumpur"
news; DJs playing pop songs and with on air phone conversations; off at
1600. Good reception; 100% readable!
Bruce Churchill (CA) also commented to me about their good reception and
wrote: "Hard to believe this is a 10 kW transmitter!" and I certainly
agree with him, as their reception has improved day by day since CNR-1
left them in the clear.

ID, French, fair.

Radio Mali is missing on 7285v for quite some time. Radio Prague uses
7285 kHz since Dec until 1757 s/off for the German service. In a mailbag
program in German on December 15th they stated, concerning the heterodyne
from Mali, that this was "a locally limited problem that could be
resolved". The latter is, in fact, the case now, but I doubt that Radio
Prague has played an active role in this development, as well as the
"local" nature of such interference.

9634.98 RTVM Mali, Kati, Bamako, at 1010-1100 UT on Jan 10, vernacular
