Default Iceland on 13865 khz

** ICELAND. Heard Rikisutvarpid (INBS) last evening (5/10) on 13865
kHz (best in usb) at 2325. Presumed RUV news relay with multiple
mentions of "Reykijavik" and "Helsinki." Musical flourish at 2333 then
open carrier and off at 2334. In checking around, I can't seem to find
a transmission scheduled at this time. The summer schedule for 13865,
as far as I can tell, lists 1215-1300, 1410-1440 and 1835-1905 (Jim
Clar, Rochester, NY, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

The undated SW frequencies on the RÚV website - which actually apply to the
B03 season - have not been updated for the summer period yet and it appears
that parts of the DX press have distributed them as A04 frequencies.

The correct relay schedule of RÚV newscasts (in Icelandic) in the A04
season is as follows:

To Europe:
1215-1300 15775
1755-1825 13865

To North America:
1410-1440 15775
1835-1905 15775
2300-2335 13865

The transmissions are in AM-compatible J3E mode (USB -6db carrier
reduction).
