[HCDX]: Correction: Taiwan

["Sonny M. Ashimori" <sonny@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TAIWAN   Contrary to my recent reports, the Voice of Asia in Thai on 7445
at 1600 was nothing new. As it turns out,  the recent English announcement
on Radio Taipei International (reported by Jay Novello, BBC-M, etc.) was
not entirely correct. The Voice of Asia stopped broadcasting in English in
January, but stayed on the air with its own name in the other languages.
Also, the "NF" 11745 for Indonesian at 1600 I reported last week had been
there since February. Sorry for the misinformation! Special thanks to Toru
Yamashita for pointing out my errors. (Ashimori Apr 19)

I wrote last week:

>popular songs), ID "Thai Program, Voice of Asia..." Indonesian program from
