** ARGENTINA. 11711-, Jan 1 at 0203, after hearing 2014 come to BRAZIL 11780, Argentina will be next at 0300 UT, so I tune down to always weaker RAE, but instead of English it`s in Spanish, still at 0212. Maybe due to holiday it`s really a R Nacional relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 1 at 0157 tune in RNA to hear 2014 allegedly arrive in Brasil, where they pretend it`s an hour later than it really is with DST of UT -2. VG signal but flutter and // 6180. After music, 0159 ID as R Nacional de Brasília, (not Amazônia), NO timesignal, but usual overnight DJ opening `Madrugada Nacional` show greeting us with ``Bom Dia, novo dia . . . novo ano 2,014``, back to music at 0202.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5040, Jan 1 at 0012, RHC English finally fixed or swapped transmitter, no longer severely wobbling, altho slightly squealing, and less than solid signal, antenna problem too? English again at 0612, still OK except squealing. 5990, Jan 1 at 0016, CRI Spanish relay is wobbling and rumbling some at first, making me suspect this is the ex-5040 transmitter; then it stabilizes, but modulation is somewhat distorted. 6270, Jan 1 at 0423, RHC Spanish music leapfrog, even with max attenuation on the FRG-7; i.e. 6060 Spanish over 6165 English another 105 kHz higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also THAILAND [non] ** ERITREA [non]. 7235-, Jan 1 at 0420, good signal but very distorted suppressed modulation, talk in unID language, then Horn of Africa music; slightly on lo side. Off already at 0454 check. No doubt it`s the 100 kW R. Ethiopia transmitter carrying the clandestine Voice of Peace and Democracy of Eritrea as per WRTH 2014, M/W/F at 0400-0500. Aoki shows merely R. Ethiopia with an x meaning inactive. Not in HFCC, of course, but instead a 23-hour broadcast from a 5 kW Belarus transmitter on 7235; does that even exist any more? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ETHIOPIA [non]. Oromo Voice Radio to start 1 January 2014. This Ethiopian clandestine will start shortwave operation on 17850 kHz at 1600 UT on 1 January 2014, with programming in Afaan Oromo and English. Further info with YouTube video at http://tinyurl.com/of3xqc4 and on the broadcaster's own website at http://oromovoice.org (David Kernick, Interval Signals Online, Dec 26, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST 13-52) I`ve been monitoring 17850 since *1600 Jan 1, 2014; fair-good signal but heavy flutter, and dead air! Finally talk starts at 1611 until 1612, but sounds like French?? Dead air again. Resumes at 1613-1615. Like they keep trying and failing to find the right program feed. Why do so many start-ups fail? You`d think they`d do dry-runs and have everything set up ahead of time. More on-and-off follows as reception deteriorates. Off at 1632* Site? Probably Issoudun, FRANCE, which uses 17850 earlier and later. Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, agrees: ``At 1620 UT on 17850 is Radio France Internationale in French, instead of Oromo Voice radio`` Tarek Zeidan, Cairo: ``Been checking 17850 from 1620 and I noticed that the conversation in French was on and off and then suddenly off the air at 1632 UT. SIO 343. Happy new year. Sent from my iPad`` Jean-Michel Aubier, France: ``Same observations: dead air, segments in French, but it sounds like an RFI programme! Off the air at 1632`` Alan Roe, Teddington, UK: ``Glenn, Noted the same here - a strong, clear signal with intermittent talk in French between a man and a woman (seemingly talking between themselves, rather than to listeners?). Transmitter went off air at around 1630 UT (didn't note the exact time). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Should that be OROMIA [non]? viz. from website above: Madda Walaabuu Media Foundation Launching Event December 1, 2013 News To All Oromos in Washington DC Metro Region, USA --- You are cordially invited to Madda Walaabuu Media Foundation Launching Event Theme: Oromo Voice Radio (OVR) will commence broadcasting to Oromia Venue: 1610 Columbia Rd.
