14055 kHz is used only 0400-0550 and 0600-0750 in Japanese. 3560 and 4405
kHz are probably also used during the local daytime (approx. 2100-0800),
but activities are unknown due to poor reception. All the 3 frequencies are
active daily, but are apparently back-up only. Feeder links often fail for
technical problems (browouts?) but none of the main service frequencies
seem to be affected.

3250 kHz used for Japanese 0400-0550, 0900-1050, 1100-1250, 1300-1450,
2100-2250 may also be a feeder. It is neither announced nor printed, and is
obviously too low for daytime reception in Japan.
