MALAYSIA Heard both RTM Kajang signals, on 9835 and 11665 kHz at 0304 UT,
nx read by female in BM on 9835 kHz, in S=8-9 -78dBm signal strength morning
propagation condition. But before 0300 UT heard a Chinese radioplay and
native flute mx - likely Childrens Hour ? radio play - on 11665 kHz, latter
S=8-9 signal at 0254 UT.
When checked at 0340 UT again, it was in likely Malaysian language though.
So, I guess at 02-03 UT RTM Kajang produced a Mandarin language section
program on SW 11665 kHz.
