ALASKA - From Rob Scobey, Senior Producer for International English: As I write this-our engineers in AnchorPoint, Alaska are in the final stages of completing repairs to the mesh antenna that sends the signal of KNLS to theEastern Hemisphere. Weather conditions finally improved enough to allow repair crews to have access to the site.For the time being-KNLS will operate off of one transmitter and antenna. So the English hour will be broadcast threetimes a day rather than the normal four broadcasts plus one simulcast. Our next step is to get the new transmitter-that is, the second of two transmitters-hooked up to the second antenna. Once that's done-the English hour will beback to our full schedule.(KNLS Website; via ADXN July magazine of ARDXC, via wwdxc BC-DX June 30)
9920 at 1522- UT, KNLS on June 20. Very nice to see them back. Lovely S=9+20 signal. This is my favouritereligious broadcaster, since the departure of HCJB.

Then into a movie review.(Walt Salmaniw-Masset cottage BC-CAN, DXplorer June 28)

Definitive information received from NBC for the Pacific Games 2015 (July 4th to 18th, 2015):The program you were listening to is part of our broadcast for the coverage of the 15th Pacific Games hosted by thecountry for the 3rd time. The first was in 1969 and the last was in 1991.
The current shortwave service is provided by Broadcast Australia from transmitters based in Townsville [25kWBrandon site, wb.]. This is a temporary measure so that the NBC can provide coverage of the games for the wholeof the country.
The NBC does have plans to purchase its own transmitters and go back to broadcasting on 4890 and 9675 kHz butthis might happen in 2016.
For your information tune into 6075 kHz from 5am to 8am (PNG time), 8am to 8 pm 9860 khz (PNGTime) or thePacific Islands frequency of 12025 kHz from 8am to 8pm (PNG time)(Ralph Perry-IL-USA, DXplorer July 6)

Radio Marumby (Sistema Iensen de Comunicacao, Avenida Parana No 1885, Bairro Boa Vista, Curitiba - Parana)has reactivated shortwave 11725 kHz.
Die Frequenz 11725 kHz wurde ab dem 9. Juni 2015 international // zu 6080 und 9515 kHz gehoert. In einerStationsansage mit der Identifikation als "Radio Novas de Paz" wurden alle drei Frequenzen genannt, wenngleichauf der Website aktuell nur "AM 730 kHz, ondas curtas 31 e 49 metros em 9515 e 6080" genannt werden.
Auf der Website <http://www.radioevangelismo.com/>gibt es auch Links zu online-Stroemen<http://www.radioevangelismo.com/radionline.htm> bzw.<radionline730.htm>die allerdings wegen laut Google Chrome "veralteter" plug-ins nicht gestartet werden.
Sistema Iensen de Comunicacao geht auf Matheus Lensen zurueck, der seine "Radiokarriere" 1964 in Apucarana(Parana) begann, wo er zusammen mit anderen live eine musikbasierte religioese Sendung "Musical Evangelico"gestaltete. Er nahm das Format mit, als er 1966 nach Curitiba (Parana), zog und gewann auch dort eine treueHoererschaft, die sowohl viele Briefeeinsendete als auch das noetige Geld fuer den Sendezeitkauf. Allerdings wurde die Sendezeit nach einem halbenJahr von heute auf morgen anders belegt, weil der neue Kunde das doppelte bezahlen konnte. Man kann sich dasGespraech als spannungsgeladen vorstellen, und es wird auf der Website auch dramatisch erzaehlt: "MatheusIensen sagte zum Direktor der Station: 'Ich werde diese Sache meinem Anwalt uebergeben.' Der Direktor fragtedann: 'Wer ist Ihr Anwalt?' Matheus Iensen antwortete: 'Gott.'"
Zehn Jahre spaeter konnte Iensen die Station 1976 kaufen. Zur Flaechendeckung unterhielt er weiterhinKurzwellensendungen ueber Radio Universo de Curitiba. Als die Sendezeit dort von drei auf eine halbe Stundereduziert werden sollte, griff Iensen andernorts zu und kaufte die frueheren Kurzwellen von Radio Diario da Manhain Florianopolis (Santa Catarina). Diese Station war 1955 von der Familie Bornhausen eroeffnet worden, die imUebergang zu den achtziger Jahren das Interesse am Medium verlor, und auch Mittelwelle und UKW an die GrupoRBS verkaufte. Seit den neunziger Jahren sendet man als Partner von Rede CBN (Central Brasileira de Noticias)auf der Mittelwelle 740 kHz als CBN Radio Diario.(Rodolfo Tizzi 9 June, Lenildo da Silva 10 June, Daniel Wyllyans 10 June, Prof. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener-D, ntt viawwdxc BC-DX TopNews June 26)

6165, July 2 at 0525, RHC English on this frequency is *much* weaker than the others, as usually the case now;strongest is 6100 with 6060, 6000 close behind. The A-15 original schedule from April shows in the 05-07 UTCperiod:
6060 A1 100 kW Bauta to Nueva York6100 A7 100 kW Bauta to San Francisco6165 A10 100 kW Bauta to Chicago6000 A4 250 kW Titán to Wásh DC
Exact azimuths aren’t given but the 6100 San Francisco beam should be closest to us, with Chicago 6165 secondbest, instead of last; so have they swapped them around, or running 6165 at low power? We should also check if6000 is really out of synch with the others. (gh, WOR 1781, DXLD)

13775, June 30 from *0600 UT carrier on a few seconds early, then cacophony of crowd noise and drumming, fairsignal, OM English announcement "This is the Nigerian Armed Forces Radio, on 11625 kHz, 25 meter band, and13775 kHz, 21 meter band" and then something about news, but all we hear is music interspersed with IDs. 0601UT yelling and drums, song; 0606 UT YL ID with meter bands only, more song, "stay with us"; 06.08:20 UT OM ID,"This is the Nigerian Armed Forces Radio", different music; dozing off, I quit at 0617 UT when signal is still fair.
Tnx to tip from Jeff White, this is a test via Issoudun, FRANCE, first airing this date, for seven days? It's brokered byRadio Miami International, which does other Nigerian SW business, but no mention of
From WRMI F_B June 26:"Radio Miami has arranged for a one-week test transmission of the Armed Forces Radio of Nigeria from theIssoudun, France relay site beginning Tuesday, June 30. The transmission, which will be directed to West Africa,will be from 0600 to 0700 UT on two frequencies. 11825 kHz will carry a Hausa-language program, and 13775 kHzwill carry an English-language program"
9On 11825 kHz, there was only a much weaker JBA signal, presumably that, but Bill Bingham in RSA says it was infact English // 13775 kHz, fading out before the hour was over. They were certainly confused about being on 11625kHz, where I continued to hear Vatican in French. Or did he really say 11825 kHz? I don't think so, but no furtherfrequency mentions heard. Meanwhile, RFI's sole English broadcast on 13725 kHz cut on in progress at *0559 UTwith a somewhat stronger signal from same site.
It seems the Nigerian Armed Forces have caught the shortwave bug. See also this story about cooperating withVoice of Nigeria, seemingly more about programming, without any time or frequency details and not referring to theRMI deal, which Jose Miguel Romero2 sent to the dxld yg on June 27.

GUAM - 'WIND POWER,' SOLAR POWER KEEP KTWR BUSY"Construction" is an important word these days at TWR's transmitter facility on the Pacific island of Guam. The mostpressing work has involved getting KTWR, as the station is known, back to fully operational mode after TyphoonDolphin crashed into the island May 15, 2015. A generator and backup system provided power and water after thestorm, and repairs had to be made to antennas.
Not affected by the storm was a longer-term construction project at KTWR: the installation of solar panels. A testproject generating 23,000 watts of power for the facility has been deemed a big success, so now the team hopes tosecure the funding to boost that production level to 60,000 watts - enough to run the station all day.
The goal, of course, is to save on the increasingly expensive cost of electricity so those savings could be appliedtoward expanding the broadcast ministry to the many countries needing to hear the gospel across Asia. The KTWRteam is appealing to supporters for an all-out push this summer.(TWR Newsletter via July ADXN of ArDXC-AUS direct / via dxld July 1)

some comment on Thazin Radio, yes right :see Aoki / Nagoya Japan list now on 9590 kHz entry, 0130-0830, a n d 0930-1330 UT ex7345 kHz.
But location Naypyidaw mentioned in Aoki list is wrong, not exactly enough, see detail:Southern 'Naypyidaw' site contain only a single antenna of 5915 kHz channel.
Northern 'Pyin U Lwin' site, see 4 frequency channels below.
The Myanmar public radio has three shortwave installations on air

and Pyin U Lwin - some Nautel / RIZ installations, I guess, antennas at 356 / 176 degr on 41/49 mb, and at 52 / 232 degrees on 31 mb, 20 14 15.37 N 96 08 03.17 E <http://binged.it/QJ8fAo> <http://goo.gl/maps/PXHAN>
