CNR1 JBA 1211-13 then apparently off, leaving AIR's IS clear until 1215 then both with very poor signals battling ACI from RA-9580. After 1300, AIR mostly atop with music..since I haven't been able to access Aoki (either Google or WOR), checking HFCC/EiBi the AIR service seems to be TB (EiBi) or "Bod" (AIR HFCC), so I'm not sure where my initial log of "Nepal [non]" came from..hope I've not confused too many folks.**BOB: please hold this one for a few days, until I can get Aoki access &/or more info on the language service + tidy up the scattered info..tnx**  (Dan Sheedy)
