Head Japanese Language Shortwave Radio Broadcast on
3925 kHz around 1100 UTC (4 AM PDT) . . . but can not
find a Listing for this Frequency.

The only thing close seems to be China Radio International
CRI on 3950 kHz.

Question : Does CRI broadcast in Japanese on this Frequency ?

So then it must have been Radio Nikkei on 3925 kHz that I heard.

Still can not reason why the Longwire Antenna
did not pick it up and the Active Antenna could ?

Perhaps the longwire antenna is oriented so that its
radiation/reception pattern has a null point aimed at the transmitter?

If you have a directional antenna, you may be able to confirm/rule-out
this hypothesis.

I have two lists, said to be up-to-date, which I
printed out ...one is "broadcasts in English". 49 pages, and the
other is "all-stations", 149 pages... which made a big sent in my
black ink supply. Fortunately, I re-fill my own cartridges !!
