kind of Korean accent.
7105 CHINA Nei Menggu PBS, Hohhot, Dec 30 2228 - Arm chair level Chinese
with lots of ads. Not sure whether this is Nei Menggu or not, but found it
on an old DBS survey. Marshall music, and Dientai mentioned at 22:30. //
noted 9520, but out of sync, with 7105 about 2 sec behind 9520.
7110 ETHIOPIA Radio Ethiopia, Dec 30 1508 - Fair to good reception in
presumed Amharic with rapid speaking male and short music bridges.
7110 ETHIOPIA Radio Ethiopia, Dec 30 1840 - Another arm chair copy this
morning with very enjoyable Horn of Africa male vocalist.
7165 ERITREA ?Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea, Dec 30 1510 - Fair
reception, but with two transmitters noted. One's on 7164.977 and the
other on 7165.267. Both are equal strength, but causing a loud het. Also
ham QRM. The upper frequency seems to be the one carrying the VOBME
programming. Nothing noted on 7175. Mostly talk. Possibly also jammed
(?the lower frequency?). Tough to sort out.
7175 ERITREA Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea, Dec 30 1848 - 2nd
program listed at good level with talk,in presumed Eritrean. News
seemingly at 18:58 re-check, with many mentions of Somalia.
7180 KOREA D.P.R. Voice of Korea, Dec 30 2227 - Pyongyang in the amateur
band with their choir singing to the glory of their dear leader. Fair to
good reception. Not sure of the language service.
7200 SUDAN Sudan RTVC, Dec 30 1847 - Fair reception with mix of talk and
African/Arabic sounding music. Not nearly as strong as the old days when I
used to hear them on 8000 kHz, as I recall.
7465 ALBANIA Radio Tirana, Dec 30 1945 - Lovely IS up to 19:45, and then
into English with schedule. The IS was very strong, while the YL is quite
a lot weaker, so perhaps it was a sign-off of another station? Nothing
heard on the 11635 to North America frequency (7465 is to UK).
15550usb USA WJHR, Dec 30 1812 - First time I've heard this one from
Milton, FL. At poor to fair level in USB with preaching. I suspect that
this one will get stronger as our short day goes on. Fair to good level at
19:54 recheck. ID at 20:02 after a brief hymn, and then back into the 40
years of recorded sermons!.
4765 TAJIKISTAN Radio Tajikistan, Dec 31 0156 - Good reception except
for some deeper fades in presumed Tajik. Actual frequency measured on
4765.061 on the Perseus SDR. Seems to be // to very weak 7245 at 02:05
when checked. I'm not 100% certain of this, though. Listening further, I
don't think that's the case. 7245 is usually the FS, and I've rarely heard
them on the west coast. The 60m channel is far easier to hear.
5940 RUSSIA Govorit Magadan, Dec 31 0213 - Right at 02:10, both 5940 and
7320 cut to a local Magadan program, while 7140 and 7200 stayed with the
network Radio Rossii feed. Both at excellent levels. Lot's of New Year's
greetings.
6100 ROMANIA Radio Romania International, Dec 31 0622 - French language
programming with only occasional dropouts. DReaM software states this is
