Belarus
I hear very loud signals these days - from time to time - in our mornings, like 0600-0800 UT, 7265 kHz compared to the past - is now noted here with increased signal (never heard such, when SWR Rohrdorf occupied once this channel).
And also BLR 6070 kHz noted here few days, when BLR was loud and strong and covered the lower of 6075 DWL UK relay. (wb, Oct 17)

Costa Rica
5930 Radio Exterior Espana, at 1130-1145 UT. Noted individuals in Spanish language comments. Flute and drum music as fillers between comments. Mentions of "Espana" and "France". Comments seemed to be political. Could not find this freq and time for REE's relay from Costa Rica in any of my hardcopy references. Although the signal was fair, the
slatter down here crushed REE's signal at times. ID and address given at 1149 UT as well as the email address. Not certain about this being relayed via Costa Rica, but that would be the logical place for this time of day. (Chuck Bolland-FL-USA, HCDX Oct 18)

Myanmar
5770 On 12 Oct at 1335 UT noted a strong carrier with not too strong audio on 5770 kHz. Usual Myanmar Defense Forces BC Unit, Taunggyi type of programming. Signed off at 1531 UT after a brief announcement by male voice. As no id was recognized (anyone ever had a reliable ID from
this one?) consider this one as tentative. They've been unheard here for weeks, maybe for months. (Jari Savolainen-FIN, HCDX Oct 12)
