** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 18:
7555, very poor at 1338, with het on hi side, 7557, no doubt against V. of
Tibet as in Aoki, only 1330-1342 via TAJIKISTAN. Had slept past 1330 so no
check of the VOT blob on 7414/7413 today where I have never heard any
Firedrake. The ChiCom may have noticed how bad it sounds coming out of own
transmitter so no need to jam it from outside!
Scanned for FD at 1445-1453; none found 10-19 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** COSTA RICA. 5965, Feb 18 at 0610, I notice that REE relay is in deadair,
some intermittent audio drop-ins; recovered a few minutes later (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [non]. 11620, Feb 18, carrier on at about *1557.5; 1600 some
programming but very weak. This is the new clandestine for Eritrea, first
reported last week, Feb 11 by Ivo Ivanov, who could tell the powerful signal
was coming from Kostinbrod, near him in Sofia, Bulgaria, and also audible on 2x
= 23240. Jorge Freitas also heard it the next day, not audible in Brasil, but
very good via Twente, Netherlands remote receiver, recorded at closing:
http://www.ipernity.com/doc/75006/14251860/
Tarek Zeidan says it`s Arabic with an African accent, but no ID on that clip,
nor did I hear one. Then Ivo copied the ID as ``Idhaa-tu Sharoopa (or
Sharooka)``. On Feb 14, Hiroshi and S. Hasegawa in Japan reported it as ``unID
Arabic station starts in HOA music at *1600 UT on 11620; ID sounds like "Idhaat
al Sarooka", i.e. This is Sunrise``. Recorded at 1608:
http://mediacat.phbb.ne.jp/mcat/BImage.asp?pn=722.64462
Then I found its Arabic website,
http://gash-barka.com/barka/index.php/news/news-reports/9-uncategorised
including as Google translated:
``alhirak Popular Movement for Democracy and Justice
Gash Barka Popular movement for democracy and justice

Nearest Tube station: Edgware road, Hammersmith, central, and district lines;
Buses 6, 16, 18.27, 98, 414, 36, 7, 23, 205, 436``
So might as well take a tube and bus and visit them! And there is a lot more on
their site in Arabic one could translate.
Chris Greenway replies to the DXLD yahoogroup: ``Thanks! From the name, I
suspect this may be linked to the mediumwave station (918, ex-909) of the same
name (Al-Sharq, literally meaning East, but also meaning Dawn/Sunrise) that
broadcasts to Eritrea from Mekelle in northern Ethiopia (see page 502 of WRTH
2013). This is normally referred to by its Tigrinya name, Dimtsi Weghata (Voice
of the Dawn).``
WRTH shows its website as http://www.sallina.com and it has lots of English,
but really seems to be a different station. Streamer says it`s on Arabsat as
Radio Wegahta, but nothing about 11620.
Today`s Aoki has an entry for this, but with incorrect initial assumption about
the language:
11620 Sharoopa 1600-1700 .23456. Somali 50 195 Kostinbrod(Sofia) BUL 02320E
4240N ERI b12 Feb. 11-
Yes, it does appear to be M-F only, and apparently running the same program
every day.
Signal very poor here, no comparison to e.g. 15535 R. Dabanga, inbooming via
Vatican, but maybe Spaceline 11620 does the job to Eritrea.
As one of the world`s most repressive dictatorships, Eritrea certainly deserves
all the opposition radio it can get!
BTW, in the previous hour, 1500-1557, 11620 is occupied by Romania in Arabic //
much better 17540, an echo apart, so widely divergent propagation paths? Or
because sites are different, Galbeni and Tiganeshti respectively (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 17550, Feb 18 at 1452, very poor in Arabic, but modulation OK, from
VIRI, 500 kW, 259 degrees from Kamalabad at 1030-1630. Nothing on 17156 but if
we ever hear that blob again, need to checked whether 17550 be missing (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Feb 18 at 1422, Denge Kurdistan with great ululating
music, and as always marred by IADs. This 100 kW, 100 degree transmission via
PRIDNESTROVYE often comes in well way over here, especially during this hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 540, Feb 18 at 0633 UT, took less than a minute after tune-in to
Mexican music to hear not one, not two, but by 0635, three IDs from XETX, La
Ranchera de Paquim?, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. The middle one was a full
ID with studio address, etc., and all also mentioning their FM. 5 kW dominating
the channel, again raising questions about whatever became of 150 kW XEWA, SLP?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Channel A2 NTSC, just turned on at 1514 UT Feb 18 as some weak
sporadic-E video fades in with antenna south; all I can make out is HOY, which
means it`s the net-2 ``Today`` show, maybe from XEW-TV itself. At 1538 a meteor
burst provides some audio so quickly that I can`t tell if it`s Spanish or not.
No Es at all is showing on either 6m ham map (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 5950, Monday Feb 18 at 1342, it`s an on-week for `Mailbox` as I
catch the end of David Ricquish`s feature on radio in American Samoa, about
KSBS. Only two letters mentioned, to maintain the name of the show, both
glowing DRM reports from Pennsylvania and Oregon. Adrian Sainsbury also
referred to having tested 15720 [AM] at 11-13 and decided to keep it instead of
17675; no mention of 11725 where we also heard it testing before 1300. Program
over at 1551. Need to go listen to it all via
http://www.rnzi.com/pages/audio.php
First attempt to play it had every word repeated, no good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, UT Monday Feb 18 at 0600 UT, surprise, KGWA modulation stays
on with Fox `news`. Must be a couple weeks since they did this instead of
providing a 5-minute Fox-hole for DX. This carrier has a constant hum which
becomes more obvious during the dead air, especially when trying to null it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980.0, Feb 18 at 0104 tune-in to talk on very weak signal,
having missed the CNR1 jammer timesignal 0100* --- again tonite R. Chaski
remains talk rather than music, and carrier cut as closely as I could time it
at 0106:23.5*. Another overrun from CRI via CUBA 5990 imposed unscheduled
English still at 0104, but it and its splash were off before R. Chaski quit
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 15385, Feb 18 at 1449, REE Sephardic service, Mondays only at
1425-1455, fair with short/longpath echo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085-AM, UT Monday Feb 18 at 0107, WTWW-2 is on with country music;
lately Ted Randall has been doing his show on Sunday instead of Saturday nights
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050-USB, Feb 18 at 0105, WWRB is again in pure SSB; presumably runs
0100-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7385, UT Mon Feb 18 at 0007, WHRI `Pirating with Cumbre` here but not
on 5920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [and non]. 11605, Feb 18 at 1420 and still at 1445, whoop-whoop or
siren jammer and het against something. Aoki shows this hour contains R. Free
Asia in Vietnamese, 250 kW, 250 degrees via Tanshui, Taiwan. This is typical
VietCom jamming, also applied to 9920 FEBC at 1200-1330 during its minority
language services. Yet Aoki does not have 11605 asterisked as jammed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
