LAOS. 6130, Lao National Radio, 1158 UTC, May 18. Better than normal
reception; indigenous music; slightly late with gong that was slowly rung
seven times; choral anthem; indigenous music; news in assume Laotian.

Now I know why I was hearing Laos clearer than normal. This per
Mauno Ritola, on his WRTH Facebook page, on May 19: "Laos
6130 kHz heard without China QRM - all Xizang fq's off the air."

Thanks to Hiroyuki Komatsubara for the following list of Xizang
PBS stations off the air now:

Chinese : 4820, 5935, 6050, 7240, 7450 kHz           
Tibetan  :  4905, 4920, 6025, 6110, 6130, 6200, 7255, 7385 kHz

China actively making many changes now, what with Glenn Hauser's
UNID on 9700 kHz. being now IDed as CNR16 (// MW 720 kHz -
per Amano and Mauno) and my hearing the new frequency for CNR17,
on 15190 kHz.

May 20, at 1241 UTC, found CNR1 (China), on 6125 kHz., to be off the air, making it even easier to
hear Laos on 6130 kHz. The best I have heard LNR in many years!

6030 (CNR1), was also off the air, so now is a good time to try hearing India, and later Ethiopia there,
which are normally totally blocked by a strong CNR1.
