Thanks to Ron Howard for sending in the following observations on Radio Tikhiy Okean and the QSL card graphic. Ron also included a Real Audio clip which has been placed in our Audio Archive.

RUSSIA 5960, Radio Tikhiy Okean/Radio Pacific Ocean, Vladivostok. Not heard during their normal broadcast time (*0935-1000*), nor on 7330, forboth Jan 19 and 20. Checked on this as a result of Chuck Bolland reporting to me that he had not heard them since last week. On Jan 5, he had reported a major change in their usual program format.
Have they changed frequencies or more likely, are they off the air? Their website: http://www.ptr-vlad.ru/tv&radio/listen/, which in the past was fairly current, now has audio files that are out-of-date, October21 being the most recent date listed (and working), but the live audio streaming for AM 810 is not available. Sent an e-mail to their technical department engineer (Alexey Giryuk) asking what is the situation there. Thanks to Chuck for the tip! (Ron Howard - CA)
