UZBEKISTAN
{probably today July 14 another WRN London Jeff Cohen service ?
Radio Free Sarawak ? try on air ? ,
my thoughts on strange sign-on procedure in 1155-1200 UT short program audio
snippet, wb}
15425 kHz noted a sign-on procedure on that channel, very tiny signal level
in Brisbane Queensland downunder around 1155 UT. So decided to change the
SDR remote network rx to another remote SDR unit north of Tokyo Japan.
Around 1156 UT noted an end procedure of an UNKNOWN language program,
seemingly n o t Bahasa Malay. Mentioned few times 'BBC...' by male voice
announcer, so I guess the technician of the UNKNOWN bcast center site, -
likeley Tashkent - Uzbekistan relay site -, switched to a satellite feed on
Indian Ocean program taken from BBC / WRN control room near London ?
The unknown bcast transmission ended, and was NOT ANYMORE on air, when
checked at 1201 UT again.
So, was that a negative program start which happened today July 14 at
1155-1200 UT ?
Unfortunately I did not put any mp3/ogg format recording on that channel ...
Here is the rest of my 19 mb logging in 1155 - 1230 UT July 14.

SARAWAK[non]. 15425, Radio Free Sarawak, 1200*, July 13 (Monday). Back on
the air after being off for the whole weekend; still no hint of any jamming.

SARAWAK [non]. 15425, Radio Free Sarawak (unID site) 1124-1200* 30
June. Thanks to Ron Howard's tip, RFS broke through my RFI/fluorescent
light buzz this morning with phone reports, a few IDs, some nice
"local" music bridges and closing with (presumed) indigenous tune.

15425, Radio Free Sarawak. Thru July 3, checking from 1130 to 1200*,
most days find fair reception here; frequent IDs and many phone
conversations; still being heard free of jamming.
(Ron Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, E1 & CR-1, dxldy July 9)
July 4, checking RFS, on 15425, from 1146 onward, found them off the
air today (Saturday). Both John Herkimer and Dave Valko today confirm
RFS was not on their recent schedule of 1030-1200.
RFS website shows this today - "We bring you the best snipets and lead
stories of the week. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show! We will be
back with fresh interviews next week. Don't go away stay tuned!" and
has audio streaming of "Our weekly wrap-up!" which was not broadcast
today via SW.
Last year RFS did not broadcast on Sunday only, but now they are off
Saturday and Sunday. So only broadcasting on SW during weekdays now.
