As you can see, no schedules this month. Not that there aren't any schedule changes to report, but that I didn't have time to gather information for the various sources I use. Sorry about that. There was a note in SCDX 2136 that Radio Rodina had gone off the air at the same time as Radio Station Peace and Progress and that the staff of both stations have been offered jobs at other Radio Moscow sections. Seems like there have been cutbacks at shortwave stations all over the globe this year. Let's all hope this alarming trend does not continue! A couple of hours after I finished the column on Aug 19, the news came from TASS that Gorbachev had been replaced by the vice-president. I checked the RM news cast on 15425 at 0400 and there was no mention of it so I flipped over to the BBC on 5975 and they mentioned the TASS story, but there were no further details. Stay tuned for more news on these startling events and what effects they may have on Radio Moscow, etc. Needless to say, send your loggings for inclusion in next month's column! Until next time, 73. -Jason
