WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

By the way, after I sent my message with that schedule, on 3rd inst., RNZI
finally switched off 11725 shortly after 2115, and the "funny" thing is
that // 15720 seemed to have vanished too: the signal was not good, far
from it, but vanishing just like that in a matter of minutes due to
propagation alone?!

PAKISTAN Their Turkish sce at 1630-1700 is actually using 6215 and not
6255 kHz as written on their schedule. This change was made at my
suggestion during B-05 when they were using the same tx at 1600-1615 on
the same bearing, and obviously they have decided to continue with it.
A-06 season. The only change is to txions via API-2 at 0045-0215, 1230-
1330, 1350-1400, 1420-1428 and 1615-1700 new 5055 replaces old 5095 kHz.
There was a txion via API-4 added during B-05 at 0800-1200 via 5925. It
was designated Rawalpindi-II and beamed towards Kashmir. This has been
dropped in A-06 so API-4 continues via 5080 at 0200-0400 and 1300-1800
with Current Affairs as previously.

PHILIPPINES 6170v Several DXers in JPN had monitored that PBS,
Philippine Broadcasting Service came back on 6169.8 kHz after long long
absence. This station seems to relay DZRB-Radyo ng Bayan on 738 kHz, but
detail is unknown because of heavy QRM.
In Japan, this freq is mainly heard in evening, around 0900 to 1200 UT.
Streaming sound is heard on
