However, it is not totally off the air but only between 22 and 10 UT thru April 4. Also the weekend exception no longer applies after March 19. Per Aoki the normal schedule of 3945 is 23-09 UT weekends, 23-14 UT Mon-Fri, or rather UT Sun-Thu during the first hour. Meanwhile the RN1 frequency down for maintenance is 9595, totally, no exceptions, from March 22 to April 11 according to that info (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, March 23 at 1305, Sea Breeze from JSR still here in English Thursdays, punxuated by signature sounders every minute or so between headlines (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 730, March 23 at 1228, ID for ``107.1 FM, Fiesta, y 730 AM``, i.e. XEHB, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, 50/1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 980, March 23 at 1230, which is Enid sunrise, phone numbers, ``es la FQ, una estaci?n del Instituto Mexicano de la Radio``, i.e. XEFQ, Cananea, Sonora, 2.5/0.5 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAIPAN. 11750.039, March 23 at 1313, off-frequency carrier stix out, poor in Cambodian. It`s RFA at 1230-1330, 100 kW due west from Agignan Point. So this IBB site continues unable or unwilling to nail down its frequencies. 11750 also used by FEBC, KTWR, AWR, et al. at other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1870 monitoring: first SW airing Thursday March 23 at 1130 on WRMI 9955 NOT confirmed as not on the air when checked at 1144 (while 9395 was S9+10). But confirmed on 9955 webcast check at 1155. NOT on 6855 either, as the 11-12 UT hour is now duplicating the 5950 `AWR` hour, not // 9955 until 1200 (and all programming on 9955 only has moved one UT hour earlier; so affects WOR on Thu & Tue, and some `Wavescans`; DX PROGRAMS and RADIOSKD updated. `Antena DX` heard instead on 6855, as scheduled Thursdays 1130 on 5950.) (BTW, official AWR A-17 schedule from frequency management in Germany shows 10 transmitter sites, not including Okeechobee! What do they know? See http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs which still in B-16 shows some AWR hours on 5950, 6855; but will they be gone in A-17? I doubt it. And don`t the dozens of `Wavescan` repeats count?)
