(Albert Muick-AFG, dxld/hcdx Aug 7) --- ALGERIA 700 Polisario Front switching frequency again. Clandestine 700 kHz Polisario Front, Tindouf Rabouni (?)-ALG, is absent on 1550 kHz today, and reactivated what seems to be an alternative frequency. It's rated 35443, avoidable heterodyne with R. Algerienne / R. Al Aghwat, Aghwat, on file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX975.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:14]

702 kHz. the // 6297 kHz remains off. (Carlos Goncalves-POR, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 2) ALG Laghouat 702 kHz 60d / 30n kW 70m mast; 1548 kHz 100d 10n kW, 50m mast (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Aug 2) 6927.054 RASD Tindouf is back on 6297.054v. Arabischer Pop auf 6297 kHz. tent RASD at 1849 UT, O=2-3, oder treibt sich da ein anderer Araber rum? (Ralf Ladusch-D, A-DX Aug 5) ... wie die ID kurz puenktlich (!!!) zum stuendlichen Zeitzeichen um 19:02:30 UTC auskunftete, geht das voll in Ordnung. Frequenz 6927.054 kHz. Jetzt kann man ausrechnen, ob das in ppm die selbe Zugabe (+3,6 ppm) wie zur Zeit ist ... 73 Nils Schiffhauer-D DK8OK, WinRadio, Excalibur & SDR-IP / GPS & Perseus, 96 m delta loop, 42 m windom; Aug 5) 6297.1 Western Sahara R surprisingly strong S=9+20 open carrier at 0555 UT Aug 10, or rather not totally open as accompanied by a roaring sound. On exactly the same off-frequency as before, must be Radio Nacional de la Republica Arabe Saharaui Democratica, the Polisario Front clandestine from just across the border in Tindouf, ALGERIA. It's been missing for months, as seems to happen every year, but eventually revives. Last report of it in dxld was March 13 in issue 10-11. At 0600:50 UT military band plays anthem for almost a minute, then YL announcement, language uncertain but unseems Spanish, then OM chanting until 0613 UT more melodic music mixed with talk. Unfortunately, a spur from one of Suddenlink's cable DTV converters lands right on same frequency, impeding copy! Reactivation was first reported by Mike Barraclough, UK, Aug 7 past 2303 UT. [(Ralf Ladusch-D and Nils Schiffhauer-D DK8OK, noted on Aug 5 1849 UT; A-DX)] Previous sign-on time per Aoki and WRTH was 0700, a bit late for me, so I'm glad it's now 0600 UT. Because Morocco was observing DST of UT +1? Per that just ended Aug 8, in time for Ramadan, and there is no DST in Algeria. The final hour at 23-24 should be in Spanish. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Aug 10) CLANDESTINE 700 Polisario Front, Rabouni (near Tindouf-ALG), is being heard on this alternative frequency daily since the 1st inst., // to 6297 kHz which doesn't seem to be at its best though as the HF tx is often airing an empty carrier, or simply off, or then airing the noise like "IS" that's played prior to the start of their b/casts.
