That odd frequency used by ARS in the past, in 2008 season. Maybe its an intermodulation of nominal 11855 kHz? I heard only a HQ program until 16.59:18 UT at S=6-7 strength level. I'm sure that at this time VoINS Jakarta (the other odd candidate on v11785) was much, much stronger on 9525.97 kHz. So, you managed an equal signal from 0958 UT, which lasts - probably - til 16.59:18 UT. Only the old Jeddah site sets are odd frequency. And the tiny signal fits only to the Jeddah signals in 31 or 25 mb. All Riyadh signals, even side lobe directions in Bengali, Swahili, and English language to WeAF are usually much stronger compared to Jeddah signals. Dr. Hansjoerg Biener covered an item in August NTT column, that US-firm Continental will replace old units by new SW transmitters in 2011/2012 at Jeddah site. 73 wb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mauno Ritola" Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 1:02 PM Subject: Re: [dxld] ARS 11785 BSKSA Djedda > Are you sure that it was the 2nd prgr. and from Jedda?

Free Asia via TINIAN at 1230 Sept 15, ID in English, introducing Burmese, blessedly free during the first semihour of Juche QRM, as VOK does not start 9335 until 1300 in English; it was audible poorly on 9345 in Korean.

Another possibility: RHC intentionally on 12000 sporadically, a frequency previously used, thus producing leapfrog on 12060, tho unheard on 11970. No sign of RCI ID and IS which had occupied 12000 the previous two mornings, in a fine example of accidental co?rdination (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI mostly modulating Sept 15: 1235 disco-beat music, occasional audio dropouts during Japanese hour. 1314 English VG signal but also occasional audio dropouts [OAD`s], about Indonesian navy. Then audio lost completely for most of a minute whilst hum continued unabated. 1315 Today in History about the landing and battle of Inchon, Korea from Sept 15, 1950; and about a German artist born in Moscow, Sept 15, 1895, who met Rachmaninov and Scriabin when a child, lived years in Indonesia: sounded like Walter Spass but Google doesn`t find him. 1319 Focus, on prevention of deforestation by reducing emissions 26% by 2020. Still audio dropouts. Next chex 1407 and 1437 remaining on air in Indonesian, about equal level to CRI Russian 9525.0 causing big het.

Mentioned upcoming EDXC Conference in Ankara, hoping to meet some listener. Also from Ian Morrison in Beijing; Dario Gabrielli in Italy. Our SWL community is so compact, that it`s a rare mailbag program without any recognizable names, and this was no exception. Wrapped up at 1309, on to Question of the Month.

Within a couple minutes the same phrases rerepeated already. S9+22 but undermodulated. Yesterday morning was not hearing it at all, but from less than one megameter away (928.6 km per co?rdinates in Aoki) was it off, or just not propagating without a bit of short-skip boost from HF sporadic E? A sesquihour later, mod was a bit better during music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST) ** U S A. 6501-USB, at 1221 Sept 15, marine weather from NWS Honolulu, by OM robot voice, referring to numerous Pacific geo coordinates, somewhat halting; distorted sound, maladjusted transmitter, which I concluded in DXLD 10-07 was coming from USCG New Orleans NMG, based on schedule at the time I heard that, of four CG stations at http://www.yachtcom.info/MarineSSB/index.html But now, it shows 6501 with NMG at 1115, and NMO Honolulu at 1200, so I would conclude it`s really NMO; or more than one of them has bad sound?

No, it`s somebody`s national anthem, by concert band, with fanfares, Latin American, somewhat familiar but I couldn`t place it, and was it back-announced? Of course not! 1428 segu? to other music, ID. Later listened to a bunch of NAs at http://www.national-anthems.net and finally concluded it was El Salvador, with lots of fanfares in it, this being independence day for Central Americans. Program schedule for current day displays immediately at http://www.cvclavoz.com/ but titles are so generic they are no help. Timezone on schedule not specified, altho next to it, current time matches UT, but probably only because my computer is on UT (a.k.a. Azores Daylight Time!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297, SASASAM carrier on at 0557 Sept 15, a few sex before 0600 anthem by military band, YL ID/sign-on in Arabic, 0601 OM chanting. Evidently on one morning only, Sept 12, this was on 6248.3 instead, despite Equatorial Guinea on 6250.0, caught by Manuel M?ndez and Brian Alexander, but missed by me; it could happen again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15555 and 15556 carriers causing weak het, noticed Sept 15 at 1423 as I was checking WJHR 15550.

R Zanzibar has generators for the 585 kHz MW transmitter and 97.4 MHz FM. TANZANIA R Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, known locally as 'RTD' or 'TBC' is located at Nyerere Road, a few km's from the city centre. The studio building was constructed by the British in 1954. There I met 4 friendly engineers who told me a lot about Tanzania's long SW broadcasting history. With nostalgia they spoke about the last SW transmitter, 'the fifty-fifty' (i.e. 5050 kHz) which was taken out of service in 2006 because spare parts were no longer available. A few years earlier 6105 had 'died' too. Just 1 km away from the studio building is the transmitting station where these oldies are now collecting dust and rust. RTD meanwhile has adequate MW coverage and FM is available from 11 sites throughout the country. Three programmes are broadcast: TBC Taifa (= 'National', supposedly only on MW), TBC FM in Swahili, and TBC International in English for the capital city area on 90.0 MHz FM.

The 10 kW transmitter at Chumbum on 585 will be replaced by a new 50 kW Chinese unit. I was given the following schedule: 585 at 0900-2100 6015 at 0300-0600 11735 at 1500-2100 on FM at 0300-2100 (Unguja 97,4 and Pemba 90,5) The 11735 kHz outlet is regarded as an international frequency for coverage of the mainland and the vast Swahili-speaking region of East and Central Africa. By the way, Zanzibar is the collective name of all islands under the autonomous Revolutionary Government, part of the United Republic of Tanzania. Zanzibar Island is now commonly referred to as Unguja.

Tatsaechlich ist der Sender auf 11735 kHz seit Anfang Dezember 2009 ausser Betrieb. Am 10. Dezember 2009 wurde das Seekabel, das Strom vom Festland nach Sansibar fuehrt, unterbrochen, und noch ist unklar, wann es repariert oder ersetzt wird. Das Kabel wurde 1975 verlegt und sollte eine Lebenszeit von 25 Jahren haben, so dass es zehn Jahre laenger gehalten hat als erwartet. Derzeit betreibt die Stimme Sansibars mit Notstromgeneratoren die Mittelwelle 585 kHz und die UKW-Frequenz 97.4 MHz. Die Kurzwellenanlage in Dole, etwa 10 km nordoestlich von Sansibar City, wird erst wieder auf Sendung gehen, wenn die regulaere Stromzufuhr gewaehrleistet ist (ibid., ADDX Kurier 4-2010) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Howard" Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2010 12:53 AM Subject: [dxld] Zanzibar on 6015 kHz? ** ZANZIBAR. 6015, RTZ (tentative), *0301-0345, September 15. Thanks to Dan Sheedy for originally alerting me to this. Heard with almost the identical format for the past two nights. 0301 suddenly able to hear an announcer; 0303-0306 reciting from the Qur?an (on the 14th was not sure if Qur?an or a chanting/singing from 0302 to 0306); announcer talking; a short musical selection at 0317; more non-stop talking till BoH music; 0331 more talking till 0341 Islamic sounding singing; lost by 0344. Best reception was about 0318, which would fit nicely with Grayline reception. Possibly the language was Swahili or Arabic, but a little too weak for me to confirm. Brandon Jordan, who routinely listens to African stations, also monitored here on Sept 15 and he feels ?very confident that this is indeed Zanzibar?. So the general consensus by those of us who have heard this is that it probably is Zanzibar. Would help to have others monitoring this as well.
