*) RCC, Petropavlovsk continues to use 4365 to 4366 kHz this past month. First noted him on 4366 kHz it seems they've shifted down one kHz as the month wore on. Also the volume of traffic from/to RCC has decreased somewhat. 5015 kHz was vibrant with activity from RCC and RJC last fall. This summers action has yet to occupy 5015 kHz. Kept careful watch of 5015 kHz for RJC. He's apparently elusive from my receivers. (info: Attu Bosch)
