A reminder about Radio Sakha (Yakutsk, Russia)

[Ron - Calif.]

A reminder that on July 16 (Saturday), at 1100 UTC, there probably
will be live coverage of the closing ceremony of the Children of
Asia International Sports Games, on 7295 kHz. via Radio Sakha
(Yakutsk, Russia). Seeing as the opening ceremony was presented
with a complete translation of the event in English, I assume the
same will hold true for the closing ceremony. Look for the coverage
to go well beyond their normal weekend 1200* sign off time.

Per the downloadable schedule at the games website,
http://www.yakutsk2016.com/ :

July 16:
Official Closing Ceremony of the 6th CAISG  20:00 [1100 UTC - Ron]
Tuymada [aka: Tuymaada - Ron] Stadium.

BTW - This past week both Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan) and I
have observed Radio Sakha on the air earlier than their normal
*0900, with Hiroyuki hearing them as early as 0830. Perhaps
just related to the special coverage this past week for the children's
sports games?

Thanks for the info Ron.

RUSSIA. 7295, Radio Sakha, via Yakutsk, 1150-1300*, July 16
(Saturday). Extended special broadcast past their normal 1200*;
local announcers commenting on the games; 1205 anthem; start
of the trilingual coverage (English, Russian and local language); 
"Ladies and gentlemen, we begin the closing ceremony of the 6th
Children of Asia International Sports Games" (CAISG); parade of
athletes.

CAISG will next be held in Mongolia, in four years. Naturally there
was an official (State Secretary of the Ministry of Health and Sports)
from there who gave a speech; "On behalf of the government of
Mongolia, Mongolian people and Mongolian athletes, let me express
gratitude to the government and people of . . ."; several other speeches
given; acknowledgment of many "appreciation letters" that were received
from government officials; lowering of the CAISG flag; QRM from 7290.
All in all a very enjoyable listening experience.
