ISRAEL Kol Israel 70th Anniversary website - mostly Hebrew:
The Hebrew website has history, pictures, copies of original newspaper
articles, words of commemoration from public figures, etc
All that is in English is a short historical summary page (copy and paste
URL together):
"Kol Yisrael - A story of 70 years"
Video of the Director General of the BBC congratulating Kol Israel on its
70th anniversary (in English)
Hebrew program commemorating the first Hebrew broadcast of Kol Israel in

JAPAN 3925, 1421-, Nikkei Radio Broadcasting Corp May 19 Superb
reception with even a short English clip (an interview with an English
speaker about fuel cell technology), without Japanese translation. Many
mentions of Nikkei weekly. 'Home page' and 'www' mentioned. Parallel 6055
equally strong. 9595 just slightly weaker. Possibly an English lesson,
since the same male returns explaining what the term 'rev' means! Society
for testing English proficiency incorporated mentioned at 14:28 as the
presenters of this program.

KENYA 4915, KBC, Langata, 1900-1921v*, May 03, religious program in

which also is active on this freq.

KOREA D.P.R. 2850.05, 1324-, KCBS May 19 Superb reception with very clean
audio with the usual strident female vocalist, marching to socialist
victory ;-) !!!.

3480.93 KCBS 1134-1151 May 25. KR talk to 1139, then instrumental and
choral songs, // 2850.04, 4450, 4557, and 3959.34. Think these freqs carry
KCBS all the time now, and no more of the clandestine stuff, although the
"regular" KCBS programming can certainly be anti-South Korean.

ToH; M came in at 1205 with his two cents' worth. No trace of jamming,
