6015, Shiokaze - Sea Breeze, via Yamata, Japan, *1400, July 21, new frequency - temporary move from 6020?, Japanese. Is this their new anti-jamming alternative frequency (ex: 6005) or a new primary frequency (ex: 6020)? Am glad they did not return to 6005, due to the station interference caused there by Echo of Hope on 6003. Before 1400 heard weak Asian station (assume Xinjiang PBS), time pips and assume it was China's CNR-8 that was totally covered by Shiokaze signing on after the pips. (Howard)
