Clandestine, Shiokaze - Sea Breeze via Yamata 6015 kHz - Japan (new frequency - temporary move from 6020?), *1400, July 21, in Japanese. Is this their new anti-jamming alternative frequency (ex: 6005) or a new primary frequency (ex: 6020)? Am glad they did not return to 6005, due to the interference caused there by Echo of Hope on 6003. Before 1400 heard weak Asian station (assume PBS Xinjiang), ToH pips and assume it was CNR-8 that was totally covered by Shiokaze signing on after the pips. Am grateful to Dan Sheedy for this tip. He first heard them here on July 16. (Ron Howard, CA/Etón E1/Cumbre DX)
