================
1.  RADIO ILINA 
================

   A new Vietnamese program called "Radio Ilina" was heard on July 20th by
Shigenori Aoki, Nagoya, central Japan.  The program is on the air daily at
1400-1500 on 15580 kHz, which follows Vietnamese program of Radio Moscow until
1400.  Radio Ilina uses single frequency of 15580 kHz, which beams to South
Asia from Irkutsk transmitting station with 500 kW, despite Radio Moscow uses
several frequencies for its Vietnamese service.
   I (Tetsuya Kondo) brought the recording on July 30th to Radio Japan's
Vietnamese section.  The translation of the part of transmission was given.

*  The opening part:
                               Interval Signal

     "This is a private broadcast, Radio Ilina, the Voice of Freedom broad-
      cast from Moscow.  The program in Vietnamese for democracy and human
      rights."
     [Vietnamese: Day la dai phat thanh tu nhan Radio Ilina. Tieng noi tu do,
      phat thanh tu Moskva.   Chuong trinh Viet ngu vi dan chu va nhan quyen.]

@@                           Opening music

     "On today's broadcast please listen to a news, music, and a new corner
     `Story for Blooming'.  In this corner we'll present you latest informa-
     tions.  Today it is the first day for broadcast of the corner.  Titled
     `The melody of Perestroika'.  In the next we will have a rebroadcast of
     a poem by a poet in Czechoslovakia called [a word indistinct]."

* The closing part:
     "Now the end of transmission for today.  We broadcast from 2200 to 2300
     Hanoi Time on 15580 kHz.  The address for your letter is 121069 Moscow,
     Novinski [words indistinct] 18/257.  The telephone number is 420-1228.
     Radio Ilina is managed by a private person, not by a government. Financed
     by various organizations and persons in Russia.  Until then, good-bye"

                               Closing song

   The romanization for "Ilina" may be incorrect because we could not under-
stand the meaning, it is not a term in Vietnamese at least we can say.  It
seems to be a name of a person, but we could not find the detail in the broad-
cast on the day.  The announcement for broadcast schedule is not correct by
reason of 7 hours-time difference between Hanoi and UTC.  It should be "2100-
2200 Hanoi Time".


   Japanese newpaper and press have reported before as follows.
*  YOMIURI SHIMBUN (newspaper) on July 1st reported from Washington:
   The National United Liberation Front of Vietnam in San Jose, California
told that Vietnamese political groups including that is now negotiating with
Radio Moscow to transmit their program to Vietnam.  It will start broadcast
in August.
*  KYODO NEWS AGENCY on August 6th reported from Moscow:
   Russia TV reported on 5th that a new Vietnamese program is broadcast from
Moscow with the purpose that it make week a colour of communism in Vietnam.
Anti-Vietnamese activists join in the operation.  Russian Foreign Ministry was
pressured to close that by Vietnamese government via the embassy in Moscow,
but the action was in unsuccessful.

   Actually, the broadcast is not of anti-communism, does not deny the
government of Vietnam.  The news is not special and takes objective view.
At the present it seems to be "for democracy and human rights" as they say at
the opening announcement.  But the closing song, which is the same as the
opening music and is arranged to shorten for its IS at the begining, is
entitled "Vietnam", which has been sung in former South Vietnam at various
events.   Refugees in foreign countries has a chance to sing the song at
present.


==============================
2.  VOICE OF DEMOCRATIC BURMA
==============================
   As reported before the National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma
(NCGUB) has started broadcast via Radio Norway International since July.  In
the first period the schedule was 1400-1455 on 17.840 kHz.  They announced
it strated on July 20th.
   I brought the recording on July 23rd to Burmese section of Radio Japan and
got the translation of the opening announcement.  The actual name of service
is not Radio Free Burma but the Voice of Democratic Burma.  In this trans-
mission no minority languages program broadcast.

*  The opening part:
                               Opening music

   "Hello everyone.  This is the National Coalition Government of the Union of
Burma, the Voice of Democratic Burma [Burmese: Democratic Myanma Athan].  Now
begin the broadcast from 9 PM on 17840 kHz in the 16 meter band.
   Today, on the 23rd, we will present a speech by the Prime Minister of the
National Coalition Government of the Union of Burma, Dr. Sein Win, which had
been made at the station's opening ceremony.  Next, we will have a statement
by the Democratic Alliance for Burma regarding plans by the military govern-
ment for the National Assembly.  A song for democratization to listenners
and a commentary titled "Telling the world about Burma".  Finally we will
present a song by Sain Tee Sain."


@ By the way Shigenori Aoki has listened to the broadcast in the latter of
June including June 29th at the same time on the same frequency.  It has a
possibility of a test transmission of the station.  Jamming has appeared in
early July.
   Toru Yamashita, Yokohama, Japan found that the station has shifted fre-
quency to 17845 kHz around on the July 30th.  The reason is presumed to avoid
jamming. 


========================
3.   RADIO AUM SHINRIKYO
========================
   A Japanese religious group called "Aum Shinrikyo" began broadcast via
Far Eastern transmitters of Radio Moscow on April 1st, 1992. The program in
Japanese has broadcast twice a day on 2 frequencies.
   In addition the group started English broadcast to all over the world
on June 15, using Radio Moscow World Service English frequencies.
   Since August 1st their Japanese program has extended 1 hour, now it broad-
cast on a mediumwave from 1400-1600.
   The program both in Japanese and English is entitled "Euangelion tes
Basileias".  The title is in Greek, and the meaning is "the Gospel of the
Kingdom".   In English program the title is translated to "the Message from
the Holy Heaven".
   They intend to start Russian program on Radio 3, "Mayak" and Russian TV
program via Ostankino 1st TV in September.
   The following address is given:
1.    Radio Aum Shinrikyo, 381-1 Hitoana, Fujinomiya, Shizuoka 418-01 Japan
2.    Radio Aum Shinrikyo, 3-8-11 Miyamae, Suginami-ku, Tokyo 168, Japan
The 2nd address is only announced in their Japanese program.  They prepare
QSL card for listeners.

   "Aum Shinrikyo" is one of Japan's new religious groups, which was founded
in 1984 by Shoko Asahara.  The transmission of their program was arranged in
middle of March this year when he visited Russia.  BBC Monitoring Service 
writes the group's name as "Oumu Shinri-Kyo", but it is not correct.  It
should be "Aum Shinrikyo", which is announced in its English program.
