VIETNAM 6020 VOV -4, Buon Me Thuot, at 1347 UT Dec 20, presumed the one
here in ethnic languages mixing with co-channel R Australia which closed
1359 UT. Then wiped out completely by TDP Issoudun DRM on 6015 kHz which
appeared that same minute. Unfortunately already gone at 1500 UT re-check
when DRM off again.

ZAMBIA 5915 ZNBC / R. Zambia 1, *0240-0250, Dec 21. 0235 UT noted test
tone mixing with CRI; 0240 UT, tone ended and went to African Fish Eagle
IS; 0250 UT sounded like "Lumbanyeni Zambia", their choral National
Anthem. Much stronger reception than yesterday!
6162 ZNBC / R. Zambia 2 (presumed), at 0346 UT on Dec 21. Talk show in
English, with African accents; almost able to understand what was said. If
I had thought to check here earlier, I probably would have found the
African Fish Eagle IS was //, but of course after 0250 UT the actual
programming would not have been the same.
Today (Dec 19) I heard an unidentified station on 6161.93 kHz at 1556 UT.
Very poor and adjacent QRM (best in USB); slowly improving; 1559, brief
music; 1600, woman with the news in English; 1605 seemed to be the end of
the news; 1607 gave website: "w-w-w . ", but unable to make it out. Not
possible for me to ID, but per your report certainly interesting if it's
ZNBC/Radio Zambia 2.
BTW - Vancouver (Canada) was fairly well noted on their normal, slightly
lower than 6160 frequency at that same time.

WRTH is soon to take over the 'blue pages' funxion of defunct PWBR. Per
an ad on page 47, a "Bargraph Frequency Guide" will be available on CD
from January. This one will have the languages color coded, but that can
only go so far; in the sample page, 12 of them + other. Perhaps in future
this could be expanded by combining the PWBR monochrome method with
colors. No further details yet on cost or how to order, but check
