Indeed, a very strong signal (9+40dB) in my QTH, too.
The Rampisham signal *here* used to be about S=5,
and I guess that the target area reception was about
adequate in those days.
I hope that the signal strength is better now also in
Africa (a more "suitable" skip etc.).

The BBC is having Col. Gaddafi, the leader of Libya, in a special issue of
"Have your say", tomorrow (Wednesday, 16 May). On the BBC website
http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?threadID=6321&start=0&&&edition=2&ttl=20070515161329
you may post your question to the leader.
The Colonel's answers will be broadcast on the BBC World Service, on BBC WORLD
and online on Sunday, 20 May, 14.06 UTC.
I posted a question if and for what purpose Libya messes with Africa No.1.
Maybe we find some explanation this unusual way ;)
73,
Eike

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, 17700 via UK, May 13 at 1400 with ID on
half-hour, music; fair. Also monitored R. Solh, 17700 via UK, May 14 from 1430
past 1500 and altho the music is familiar, the track order has changed, and no
longer any of the ``Solh theme`` which was originally aired daily at 1451, and
then starting at 1458 only to be cut off at 1500. Not audible the next day
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13750, G on Sunday May 13 at 1325 with Albanian history
to 1328* Overlapped a tone test from *1327 on 13745, presumably BBC via
Armavir. R. Tirana, 13750, F-G May 15 at 1323 check; reception varies
considerably from day to day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. Paling only by comparison with the WHRI collision, is the
Vatican Radio collision with CHU, which has been ongoing for many seasons now
on 7335. Vatican via SMG currently A-07 scheduled 0010-0200 to Asia and
0230-0520 to Europe on 7335, all of them east- or northward, but often audible
here, and worse, during prime time. As noted May 13 at 0503, poor, sounded like
Italian but `Scandinavian` scheduled. At this time I don`t often hear Vatican
under CHU as it`s getting pretty far into daylight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. May 13 at 0505 I could not make out any trace of RNT`s distorted
signal around 7310 with Flevo and 7315 with stronger WHRI.
Again May 15 at 0510 check, no sign of the extremely distorted off-frequency
transmission of RNT, which had been on 7312v, and also by others no longer
heard, so this seems to be taken care of. But are they back to normal on 6165
as a result? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. V. of Africa May 13 at 1401 on 17725 // 17870 in Swahili, 1403
drumming and late into English, poor. DRM from GUF 17870-17875-17880 silent on
Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. VOR is sometimes well-received in NAm mornings, tho beamed in
opposite direxion from Moscow to S Asia, on 15605, such as May 15 at 1427 with
a break for guitar music, but skipped news on the half-hour at 1430. Next show,
Kaleidoscope, did start a sesquiminute later as usual. Reception degraded
somewhat during the following semihour, and 1500 into Hindi, tho English
continues on other frequencies. Best chance here after 1500, per EiBii would be
12040 Moscow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Noticed ``The Power Hour`` with wacky conspiracy theories of A. C.
Griffith, May 14 at 1325 on new 5890 --- what station is this? WWCR as on
transmitter sked page:
``05.04.2007. We are moving to frequency 5.890 effective May 5, 2007; and
leaving 5.765 on our transmitter #4 from 11:00PM-9:00AM CT--0400-1400 UT.``
This obliterates the VOA Korean service via Tinian which used to be quite
audible here on 5890 during the same hour. I suppose AFRTS would prefer that to
be QRMed rather than their low-powered 5765 USB relay via Guam. And 5890 is
only 45 kHz from DGS via WWCR on 5935 all night, so look for possible leapfrog
mixing products on 5845, 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via Cuba was already fired up and QRMing underneath
WYFR 17750, Sunday May 13 at 1403 with warmup ``Mundo Siete`` show from RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
