** BRAZIL. 11780, Sat Mar 3 cut on at *2058 JIP S7-S9 excited Brazuguese talk, presumably SBG; 2129 recheck, yes, that`s it, unlike weekdays when more serious with `Reporte da Amazônia` at 2130.

VIRI’s morning Voice of Palestine broadcast was observed today opening at 03:20 UT today (2 March 2018) on 7425 kHz, supporting WRTH info although the current edition only lists that one frequency whereas two were announced here – perhaps an Arabic speaker could listen to the announcement near the end of this clip?: http://www.intervalsignals.net/…/irn-viri_vo_palestine This was monitored on a web …

** BRAZIL. 11780, March 1 before 2100, RNA again not on air yet, but must have started circa *2100, tuned at 2110 during a semihour of happy sertaneja(?) tunes, brief talks about Amapá and live UT-3 timechex; not until 2130 does the serious all-talk `Reporte da Amazônia` begin, “uma produção da Rede de Rádios Públicas da Amazônia“, starting with news …
