The CRI and CNR outlets are everywhere, from mainland, Albania, France,
Mali, Russia, South Africa, Luxembourg, Canada, Cuba, and Chile, to
mention some. (wb)
I recall there was a news item some time ago, that both or either
Kabardino-Balkaria and Adygeya had stopped their shortwave relays for ME
some time in 2006. I checked 7325 kHz very often in April this year and
they were definitely off. Now they seem to be back.

relay from Radio Tanzania in Swaheli. All pxs in Swaheli, only 1800-
1805/10 news sce in English. From 1700-1757 Radio Romania English // but
mostly Zanzibar is dominating.

U.K. [not] 15745 BBC Arabic from UNID site noted this week, thanks to
Noel R. Green in Blackpool-UK: "However, there is a new BBC outlet in
Arabic on air using 15745 - first heard at around 0740 June 27 and still
on air at 0900 plus, now parallel 15180 and 17505."
15745 BBC Arabic with BBC website address, noted at 1230 UT, S=2-3 fading
tiny signal. Maybe CIS or Russian Siberia relay site southwards lobe ?
