5935 Radio Nederland at 1700- UT on July 11. Dutch language special
broadcast for the FIFA world cup final between Holland and Spain. Fair
level on this 250 kW [Tinang-PHL] transmitter aimed 200 deg to
Indonesia/Australia/ and the Indian Ocean. Parallels noted include 15310
via Bonaire (250 kW 320 deg to Caribbean and Florida) at excellent level,
and 17535 also Bonaire (250 kW 080 deg to Atlantic Ocean and West Africa)
at fair/good level. Not heard were 5950 and 9895 via Germany.
I rechecked at 18:00 and noted the following: 5915 MDG (not heard), 5935
PHL: there was nothing there, then a few seconds after 18:00, they were
definitely there at fair/good level, so either I was mistaken that they
came on initially at 17:00, or they were off, and then returned. 5950 WER
very poor, 9895 NAU weak carrier only noted, 11670 WER very poor, 11905
SAC fair/good, 13640 SAC excellent, 13685 NAU good except for an audible
hum, but hum gone when rechecked at 18:10, 15310 BON excellent, 15475 GUF
poor, 17535 BON fair/good. Lot's to choose from!.

CHINA 7270 PBS Nei Menggu on the air again. PBS Nei Menggu, 1208, July
14. Has returned again with a good signal; // 6040 and 9750 kHz; QRM from
very faint Wai FM underneath. Was great fun to be able to clearly hear Wai
FM/Limbang FM (Sarawak) during their absence. Aoki's list confirms my
observation that PBS Nei Menggu went off the air here on July 8.
The PBS Nei Menggu frequencies I heard (//6040 7270 9750) would have been
in assume scheduled Mongolian. I neglected to check for their scheduled
Chinese broadcasts on their other two frequencies.
Thanks to Mauno Ritola (Finland) for finding on July 14: "I can hear 9520
kHz now at 2200 and I checked also 7420 kHz via a Japanese web rx and it
is //."
Now we know that all their frequencies have been reactivated!
