against ETHIOPIA's present government "Addis Dimts Radio provides diverse cultural and political perspectives for all Ethiopians globally and we believe in a mixture of private and public partnerships, We oppose the current EPRDF regime political philosophy and economic policies," so supposedly via ERI Asmara Selai Dairo [Saladaro] 2 MW, 3 log-per SW arrays, 15 13 00.00 N 38 52 32.00 E entry ETH under Aoki ginbot7 list entries seem to be wrong. (wb, dxld May 6) Hello, tonight noted two different programs on 7165 and 7110 kHz. - at 1959 UT hymn and close-down, but noted another different program after 2000 UT on 7110 kHz. - and Guinea Conakry 7125 kHz at 2030 UT too. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 7) ETHIOPIA/USA[non] VOA services in Oromo, Amharic, and Tigrigna at 1730-1930 UT were subject of hiss jamming today May 3rd. Noted Oromo at 1730-1800 and hiss on all three 11925, 12140, and 13870[not 13780 as typo on VOA website). Amharic at 1800 UT and annoying hiss noise on 9620, 11925, 11975, 12140, 13835, 13870, and 15730 kHz. (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 3) 17565 now also jammed. Ethiopia/USA: I tuned in again today, 01 May, at 1800 UT to 17565 kHz. The carrier came on at 1759 UT, shortly jumping into a program in what seemed to be an African language with music. After a short break, it was in fact the VOA Amharic Service that started with an ID and information about the Arabsat relay. I started a recording at 1814 UT when an interview was going on. At 1818 UT, the jamming signal appeared with a strong signal, modulated with noise. I had checked the//frequencies before, of which at least 12140 kHz and 13870 kHz showed similar jamming phenomena. On 17565 kHz, the jamming is only partly effective, as most of the modulation gets through in spite of it, while one may doubt about its effectiveness in the target area. That's it for today, have a good Sunday. (Robert Foerster-D, dxld May 6) see also under Botswana ... ETHIOPIA/RUSSIA Ethiopian hiss on 15195 kHz, 1600-1700 UT today May 3rd. Last year in A-09 TDP had this service to Ethiopia, on 15195 kHz via Samara Russia - only mondays - 1600-1700 UT EOTC Holy Synod Radio But only hiss sound noted here in southern Germany today. Signal from Samara is usually weak here. Our DXers in Greece and Cyprus, Zacharias and Costas will have more powerful signals on their sets ...

Weak to fair reception, noisy conditions after 1730 UT.
