NIGERIA 15120 rather even - or minus 1 Hz - frequency usage at Ikorodu?
site, scheduled 08-10 UT, noted March 23 at 0905 UT here in Germany on S=8
or -72dBm fair signal level, played international pop music program.
But also 'visible' and audio sound heard some whistle sound tones,
6 x 100 Hertz either side visible, as well as three additional tone signal
peaks seen at 800, 1600, and 2400 Hertz either sideband too !

Update:
VON totally in the clear after 2100 on 7255 - music bits audible well
but live voice on very low audio. Interval signal at 2128, apparently an
undocumented language shift - never seen in any schedule. Likely Arabic
or Hausa before 2128, into unid W Af language afterwards.
2159 a terrible dull version of the terribly military sounding anthem,
test tone. So sign-off one hour earlier than listed everywhere.
Feel free to forward!
...and if anybody knows how to sign-on to DXLD yg again without giving
yahoo my cell phone number, tell me!

Hi Glenn,
This is the mail I would have written one hour ago:
"Voice of Nigeria now completely defunct!? Since about one week I could not
receive Voice of Nigeria at all. Checking most mornings,
I could not find anything on 15120.0. Also DRM transmission in the evening
on 15120 and the Hausa segments on 9689.9 and 11769.9 later have been
missing the days I checked (but I didn't check daily). During everal weeks
before I tried to decode the DRM broadcasts via the Italian DRM receiver on
globaltuners.com now and then, but no success since January or so, though
signal was strong. 15120.0 had mostly recorded tapes only in recent months,
and if live broadcasts were aired, audio was very low. So both Ikorodu and
Abuja sites seem to have severe problems."
But I decided to wait until 2000 to check if 9690v would pop up again, as I
did not check the previous evenings. Non-surpringsingly it did not. But on
7255 I detected VONs French news which much improved
audio! 73 (Thorsten Hallmann, Münster, Germany,
