ALGERIA 6248.33 RASD, 0032-0033*, Oct 9, noticed off frequency again.
Just caught the end of their transmission, signing off with their National
Anthem. Fair to good.
RASD, at 0610-0655 UT on Oct 10, once again heard on this frequency. Tunein
to Qur'an. Lite music and Arabic talk at 0613 UT. Middle-East style
local music. Arabic talk. Poor. Weak with rtty-utility QRM and some QRM
from a weak Equatorial Guinea on 6250 kHz. Somewhat better reception after
0635 UT.

Polisario Front 6297.09 kHz. The cland. stn of the Polisario Front in
Rabouni, Algeria, started this evening's b/cast moments ago, Oct 10, 1658
UT: tune, ID at 1702 UT followed by the fq. announcement, TS at 1703 UT,
"natl." anthem and then another ann. for prayer; 54443, QRM from the
utility stn, identified by Wolfgang Bueschel.
Best reception (to decrease QRM level) via the K9AY beamed south. The NE
beam gets the strongest sig. from that uty. stn.
At this early hour (for us down here anyway), their // outlet of 700 kHz
is not audible yet except for carrier detection. It should be fairly
audible on my SW coast place.

RASD Tindouf back on its morning channel 6248.33 kHz at 0600 UT, but both
RASD Tindouf areas are hit heavily by European NATO digital UTE stations,
G7D transmission mode, with data modems of 2400 Baud Stanag signals. This
Stanag reference on 6243-6249 and 6294-6299 kHz. West-Saharies will not be
happy there.
6248.295-approx. RASD Tindouf at 1940 UT, Oct 11, in Maghreb? Arabic with
Saharui mx and songs at 1935 UT, Oct 11, weak signal S=4 only on Eton E1
set. Best on SYNC mode, due of heavy STANAG digital maritime navy signal
in range approx. 6242 to 6249 kHz.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 10/11)
I assume that the Stanag signals are maritime communications. Above 6200
is part of their band, but such signals can be heard in many frequency
ranges, and some are known to emanate from the Inskip station not too far
south east from me. I'm not sure if it is still a Naval station these days
but the tall masts and at least one log periodic plus much more can still
be seen in situ.
