UNID site 15165 Well, fairly new. Said to have launched on 7 January.
Thursdays only. In French and Somali ("Codka Djibouti" "Voice of
Djibouti"). Some confusion about the exact time: one part of their website
- gives it as
1800-1900 Djibouti time (1500-1600 UT), but another (cached) version gives
1830-1930 LT (1530-1630 UT). Both agree it's on 15165 kHz. The 1530-1630
UT time is also given on a YouTube clip of the inaugural broadcast:
Has anyone spotted this registration or perhaps even heard the Thursday
broadcast? What's the site of the 15165 kHz?

Unknown TX location.
Is a TDP brokery transmission on Thurs only. Next to the usual Samara-RUS
15160 "home frequ". Also similar 15195 kHz at 1600 UT on Mondays ONLY,
also via Samara-RUS 200kW at 188 degrees. EOTC Holy Synod Radio in
Amharic. (wb)
Here in Finland good signal on 15165 kHz, ID at 15:31:30 UT as:
"Halkan wa Idha'adda ... Odki Djibouti".

This station is audible right now. Heard from tune-in at 1605 UT with good
signal here in the UK on 15165 kHz. Talk in Somali with many mentions of
Djibouti and ID heard as "Voix du Djibouti" (even when speaking in Somali)
Into French at 1612 UTC mentioned "nouveau radio ... Voix du Djibouti".

Newly discovered clandestine La Voix de Djibouti, 15165, confirmed Feb 25
at *1530-1629:30* UT. Had looked for it starting before 1500 UT as there
was conflicting info about correct schedule, but nothing there, until cut
on abruptly at *1530 UT, with music, anthem? Then brief announcement, also
brief Qur'an, more talk in non-French, mentioning kHz, and a .com.
Presumably all in Somali and still so when local noise, power-tooling
neighbor overrode at 1610-1619. By 1619 when that cleared up, station had
switched to French; sounds like a lot of platitudes. Dave Kenny, who had
no such noise interruption, says French started at 1612 UT.
Cut off the air at 1629:30* UT sharp before speaker was finished. So it's
coming from a transmitter site with precision timing, but no clues beyond
that. Signal at start was S9+10 with flutter and diminished somewhat
during the hour.
Tnx to Chris Greenway for uncovering this, which has allegedly been on the
air every Thursday since 7 January. More in French only at
About time Djibouti, the former French Somaliland, Afars & Issas, had its
own clandestine! Website indicates it is that, "free and independent
voice,", etc. Emissions Radio page axually linxs to mp3 files of
the seven/eight broadcasts so far, and there are also apparently
