6030 CFVP hrd 6/11 during R. Marti silent period from 0507 tune
w/ "Grand Ol Opry Top 40" C&W mx program w/ man host. Signal gradually

GUATEMALA

HAWAII

9930 Radio for North Korea (ORNK) via Hawaii (KWHR), at 1104-
1158* UT on June 12, in Korean, announcers with background music (mostly
various classical music), but also played eclectic selections of music
(Korean ballads, classical music and segment of soul music ["Soul Man",
Otis Redding with "Satisfaction", etc.]), 1158 played "Pomp and
Circumstance", English ID that KWHR was going off 9930. Fair-good, no
jamming noted. (Ron Howard-CA-USA, DXplorer June 12)

INDIA
And on 11850 at 0725 I could hear some nice Indian style music at
weak to fair strength, and it was also audible on 9595 in parallel, but
very weak here. I didn't recognise the language but I presume it was All
India Radio Nepali service via Delhi. I did try listed \\ 7250 but Vatican
Radio was using the frequency. (Noel R. Green-UK, wwdxc BC-DX June 10)

mx to 1200 UT, woman ann 1200, program tune 1200-01, woman ann to 1201.5
then short mx and into a man ann alternating w/ woman ann and a few short
music spots (just a few sec each) at 1202. May have been some remote
reports, but couldn't be sure. Believe 1200 prgm is a relay of National
Service news. Woman ann w/ s/off at 1231.5 and carrier off at 1232.5.
SINPO 25432 w/ ocnl peak to S3 after 1215. Signal gradually improved after
