MALAYSIA 6049.65 Asyik FM (RTM), returned again after being off the air
for several weeks. First noted again on May 30, heard through June 2
around 1130-1230 UT, mostly with on-air phone calls, singing ID jingles.
Yes John, it? very nice to have them back again. Heard with the usual het.
While they were off I tuned in to try to determine what causes this het,
but could only detect a very faint carrier on 6050.0 kHz but too weak to
tell anything about it.

NIGERIA Voice of Nigeria heard on 9690 kHz in English from tune-in at
1200 UT. Weak signal at first but has now improved to fair. Still audible
in English now at 1315. This is probably ex 7255/15120 as neither heard
here for some time. I think it was also on 9690 earlier today as I noted
something there at 0950 UT with hum on audio.
