 area? Next repeat continues, UT Thursdays 0415 on 7415

 communist, non-musical, non-religious, non-apolitical DX program;
 P O Box 1684, Enid, OK 73702, USA or wghauser@hotmail.com and our
 website is back in service, http://www.worldofradio.com
*Venezuela backs out of hosting World Radio Conference 2003, so ITU
 looking for a new site, and may be delayed from July 2003; one
 agenda item is `harmonization` of 7 MHz amateur and broadcast
 allocations
*R. Tachira, Venezuela, reactivated on 60m, at least in daytime

*Mystery Korean evangelical station on 6715: direction-finding shows
 somewhere along this Great Circle: 224/44 degrees from Europe:
 Canary Islands, Argentina, Chile, Wellington, Seoul, Irkutsk; timing
 suggests audience in Europe or South Atlantic fishing fleet around
 Brazil; confirmed produced from Yoido Full Gospel Church, Seoul,
 well-known pastor Yong Gi Cho
*WRNO`s new owners have website http://www.goodnewsworld.org with same
 old `rocky` logo, schedule severely disconnected from reality
*Brother Stair`s imprisonment finally mentioned on his own show, but
 mostly old tapes on sin and damnation; court says one charge is

 believed his own BS, he would be innocent: unfair concept, says
 Robert Arthur
