about corruption in the Pacific (i.e. PNG), would have been a BBC or Radio
Australia produced program; noted them several hours earlier (0700+ UT)
with open carrier. Feb 19.
[later]
I have only carriers, no audio. This on 5019.958 kHz. Also on Feb 24th
with new Optimod sound. That would account for the better audio quality.
It is also much stronger at present as well.

SOUTH AFRICA/UAE [not Ascension Isl]
UPDATE - Bar-Kulan Radio - New targeted broadcast for SOMALIA.
The station now tells me that their SW schedule from 1 March will be:
0500-0600 UT 15750 kHz (Al Dhabbaya-UAE)
1600-1700 UT 9960/9930 kHz (Meyerton-AFS)
This conflicts with the widely posted details that the transmissions will
be from Ascension, and with 17700 kHz given as the frequency for the one
at 1600-1700 UT.

SPAIN 531 RNE Navarra QSL. Seitdem die Schweiz Beromuenster 531 kHz
verlassen hat, hat sich RNE Navarra hier in Genf zu einem Standardsender
entwickelt. Regionalprogramme kommen z.B. von 0725-0730 und 0750-0800 LT
Ortszeit. Im Gegensatz zu frueher scheint es allerdings mit QSLs etwas
schwieriger zu sein, im dritten Anlauf hat es endlich nach 7 Tagen
Laufzeit geklappt.
Im Umschlag waren PPC, Ansichtskarte und einige Aufkleber.
Die Adresse ist:

TAJIKISTAN It seems, "Radio and Ovozi Tocik" (Tajikistan) fundamentally
changed its grid broadcasting. Transfer description.ru on 1400-1500, now
not. Till 1400 UT is English program (while WRTH-2010 gives 1300-1400 UT
in Arabic), in 1400 UT sounds multilingual announcement (including
English), and the transmission continues at some of the languages of the
Iranian group (Persian, Dari or Tajik). 7245 KHz frequency, I heard at
33333. Shulyakovskiy vernicia CNR-2. Know any current schedule in Russian?
