ALGERIA 6297.05 RASD Tindouf, RTTY QRM at 2154 UT, Sept 7, S=7-8.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 7)
6248.32 RASD, *0601-0620+, Sept 12, sign on with Western Sahara National
Anthem. Qur'an at 0602 UT. Arabic talk at 0612 UT. Middle-Eastern type
music. Slightly off their usual 6297 kHz. Was on 6248.38 kHz at sign on,
drifting down to 6248.32 kHz by 0620 UT. This is my unidentified station
that I recently reported. Fair but weak rtty QRM. Must use ECSS-LSB to
avoid Equatorial Guinea on 6250 kHz.

ANGOLA Radio Nacional de Angola is being heard most evenings, generally
on 4949.7. However on August 10 at 2356 they were on 4950 and seemingly
only in AM/LSB as I couldn't detect an upper sideband. Time pips at
midnight followed by what probably was the news. Poor copy at only SINPO
23321.
On August 20 at 2340 they were on 4949.7 with both sidebands audible,
songs and a talk mentioning Luanda prior to time pips and Radio Nacional
identification, SINPO 24322. I have heard the station around 2340 on this
frequency on other occasions.

AUSTRALIA/SOUTH AFRICA 15400 The Sunday Sept.5th All Ireland final
betweeen Clare and Kilkenny started at 1300 UT. 252LW is on air loud and
clear but 15400 kHz via Meyerton-AFS is only weak and under stronger cochannel
HCJB Australia.
(Noel R. Green-UK, dxld Sept 5)
15400 I have only a faint signal from Meyerton, just barely sufficient
for making out what this should be. And nothing at all on LW 252 kHz, it
gets completely overriden by local noise. But then neither 252 nor RTE via
Meyerton are exotic anyway.
Btw, these RTE sports specials also used to include a DRM transmission to
Europe from a UK site. Not so anymore. But this could be a simple result
of a change of transmission providers/resellers, from what used to be
Merlin/VT-group{next year Babcock call BAB} to WRN.
