IBB / VOA to Ethiopia frequency changes.
VOA to Ethiopia. During last week's VOA Radiogram, I included the
transmission schedule for VOA broadcasts to Ethiopia, which are now
{WHITE NOISE DIGITAL SCRATCHING, wb.} jammed in Ethiopia,
at least on some frequencies.
Two of the frequencies have been changed: 12040KWT and 12080WOF kHz have
been replaced by 11720LAM and 15785WOF kHz. The new schedule is ...

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Oct 11 at 0613, R. Truth is still on with music, train bell
SFX, not yet NA. Seems OK now, after notice a couple hours earlier that
transmissions were irregular due to rain disrupting their studio-transmitter
link antenna. Also at 1112, sermon alternating English and Spanish every few
words, huge reverb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 774, Oct 12 at 1227 from NW, enough signal barely to perceive some YL
talk in Japanese intonation: JOUB, NHK-2, Akita. See also UNIDENTIFIED for many
more TP JBA carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 12 at 1326, good Kurdish music, 1327 dead air,
1329 more music, 1330 Denge Kurdistanye ID and Kurdish talk; good signal
presumably via BULGARIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 940, Oct 12 at 1235-1240, continuous Spanish music, from SW, so
Santa Rosal?a BCS? Replying to my previous log, Tim Hall in ABDX:
``For what it's worth, last week at the Border Inn beverage site I listened to
XERLA for a few mornings between 1200-1300 UT. They have a new slogan "Radio
Surcalifornia" and frequently tag on "la mejor m?sica para tus o?dos" or other
similar phrases. They used both male and female announcers between songs, but
the "IDs" (slogans) with the additional phrases were generally in a female
voice. I can post a short audio clip if you want. Just need to dig it up from
my archives. 73 Tim Hall`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11720, Oct 11 at 1755, no signal from new frequency for VOA
Oromo, which I belatedly learned about from Kim Elliott. But something audible
at 1809, perhaps after site change, which? Kim does not have a Need to Know, so
neither do we! However the two deleted frequencies, 12040 and 12080 were
previously reported to be S?o Tom? during the 1730 semi-hour.
>From this week`s VOA radiogram as of Oct 7:
``VOA to Ethiopia. During last week?s VOA Radiogram, I included the
transmission schedule for VOA broadcasts to Ethiopia, which are now jammed in
Ethiopia, at least on some frequencies. Two of the frequencies have been
changed: 12040 and 12080 kHz have been replaced by 11720 and 15785 kHz. The new
schedule is:
Afan Oromo

Amharic
1600-1630 UTC* 1431
1630-1700 UTC* 6040 15580
1800-1900 UTC 11720 12110 12140 13860 15630 15700 15785
Tigrigna
1900-1930 UTC* 11720 12110 13860 15630 15700 15785
* Monday through Friday``
15785 has a JBA carrier at 1755 Oct 11, much weaker than 15700, presumably
Lampertheim per previous info; and much much weaker than 15630 which is always
best here, believed to be Woofferton.
At 1809: 13860 audible, 15630 with a VOA jingle at 1810; 15785 now very poor
but better than 15700. No signals audible on 12140, 12110. 15630 is not
synchronized with 11720 et al., if really the same programming. AND: NO DRM
jamming audible at all on any of these, but does not mean none is being
transmitted.
Wolfgang B?schel has reworked above schedule for the DXLD yg, somehow adding
transmitter sites: note how many change from one language to the next, but also
some change site amid language blox; a fluid situation not necessarily same
from day to day:

7146.56 ERITREA V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea Found here on
this odd freq at 0313 w/tlk by studio W anncr in lang. alternating w/HoA
mx. Severely jammed with a white noise jammer. Gradually got worse and
could barely hear any audio at all by 0330 due to the weakening signal
and jammer. Here's the link to a Youtube video of this, 7175 and also
7120 R. Hargeisa https://youtu.be/4-X6LdcJM6U (12 Oct.)
7175 ERITREA V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea Barely able
to make out mx through the severe white noise jammer at 0313 followed by
W anncr. More difficult than 7146.56. Was able to hear HoA mx at 0316,
then M anncr at 0317-0320+. Like 7146.56, couldn't really hear the
audio through the jamming by 0330. (12 Oct.)
7120 SOMALIA R. Hargeisa Nothing by 0320 t/out, but the
signal was there at 0326 recheck. Could just barely hear mx at 0328 and
tlk by M at 0330 but it was just totally impossible. They can't be
modulating at more than 5%. (12 Oct.)
5024.93 PERU R. Quillabamba Noticed 5025 Rebelde had just an OC
at 0944 which continued. Quillabamba's carrier popped on 5024.94 at
0952 but had deadair as well (at least I couldn't detect any) until
Rebelde's audio came up at 1035. Actually Rebelde went off the air
completely for 5 seconds at 1035 before coming back on with audio. In
those 5 seconds when the Quillabamba signal was in the clear, I still
didn't hear any audio. (12 Oct.)

Radio Thailand's 15590kHz/9390kHz are by far the strongest, steadiest, most
consistent signals on shortwave at my location. The PL880 often shows a
50-65dbv signal level, sometimes stronger and a S/N ratio of 05-20, usually
in the low teens.
Two recent loggings, with audio:
