SERBIA 6099.971 kHz at 1745 UT Mar 25th, switched to USB mode, and 300
Hz pass band tuning ajustment. Serbia International noted here for the
first time in past nine months! [but not on Mar 26th due of heavy DRM 6095
kHz RTL signal!]
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX Mar 25)
Radio Serbia noted here, using USB to get away from the drm, March 26th
1730 with interval signal then going into Italian, fair signal, nothing
else co-channel, stronger than I would expect if only using 10 kW.

See also some statements from Radio Serbia director Milena Jokic, quoted
in the item from March 8 at
(probably a similar one appears somewhere in their English section, too):
For the first time in years we were able to get a decent budget, at
present we're broadcasting from Stubline and thanks to investments it
could soon be possible for our shortwave centre at Bijeljina to resume its
work. We will work with full force, we again have the old airtimes, and in
the meantime we hope that the law on Radio Serbia will be enacted soon.

SPAIN [and non] REE service to peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, 15345,
March 28 at 1838 in Spanish, weak with barely audible het on 15344.8,
which would be the unfortunate RAE, Argentina, trying to reach Europe. No
sign of Arabic/Morocco at this time, anyway. Sports special.

15345 REE powerhouse, came across at 1900 UT, new service to ME scheduled

Israel clash border area. Football match at Palma de Mallorca in progress
at present. Tiny 220 Hertz whistle seemingly from co-channel RAE Buenos

SRI LANKA 11750 SLBC Colombo at 1712 UT on Mar 16 with talk in presumed
Sinhala till 1732, when into subcontinental vocal. Pretty decent signal by
1750 retune, when seemed some kind of skit or dramatic reading in front of
an audience; lots of shouting and chuckling by the actors. Had
deteriorated somewhat by 1847, when left the air after a song. On Mar. 24,
weak carrier at *1541 and talk, but nothing readable; much improved at
1718 recheck with enjoyable subcontinental vocal by man and woman.
