Taiwan, 6150, Radio Taiwan International (PRES), 1000-1015 Noted steady
Chinese comments by both male and female announcers until 1014 when brief
music heard. Parallel on 6085 KHz. Both freqs very crowded and signal was
poor. (Chuck Bolland, May 16, 2007)

Hello, everyone
This is my first message to Hard-core DX.
Today, early in the morning, I was trying to listen to some Chinese shortwave
stations on my portable receivers, but I end up finding something much more
interesting. I found an African (at least I believe it was African) station on
the frequency of 17645 kHz. I started to listen to it at 1409 UTC and followed
the transmissions until 1510 UTC. At the beginning my SINPO was 25222, but at
1510 UTC I almost could'nt hear the broadcast because the noise was too strong
and loud. Despite my patience, I couldn't hear any ID. The station played
non-stop African pop music, without a single identification or talk. The
station played a lot of "ndombolo" songs, which is a style of music produced
mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I noticed also a slight noise
coming from the transmitter whenever a song stopped playing. Does anyone know
the name of the station or its location?
73!

Hi Marcelo,
it seems that you have been listening to one of the best music stations
ever! However, it could be that bad guys are behind the superbe music!
Conventional wisdom has it that the non-stop African music station is a
jammer directed to North Africa. You may enter "afro-pop jammer" in Google
to learn more.

I was monitoring today May 16 at 1405 UT and the Afropop music distraction
(there is nothing to jam after 1400), was actually on 17647.0. At 1344 it was
also on 17647.0, presumably to jam Sawt al-Amal clandestine for Libya, probably
the weaker station on 17642.5. Frequencies vary from day to day or even hour to
hour, as SAA tries to avoid the jamming. The music station stays on until 1531,
and is believed to be transmitted from Gabon on behalf of Col. Qaddafi. 73,

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. I have seen three reports lately of LRA 36 being heard
before 1900 UT with no mention of QRM from Africa Number One, Gabon, 15475. Not
only May 15 at 1850, but also May 16 at 1827 I could get a weak carrier on
15476 on the DX-398 portable in the yard, but nothing on 15475. So what has
become of AN1? Come to think of it, have not heard it lately on 17630 around
1330, nor on 19160 harmonic. Is it still heard on 9580? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 May follow. Solar flux 77 and mid-latitude
A-index 5. The mid-latitude K-index at 1800 UTC on 16 May was 3 (24 nT). No
space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather
storms are expected for the next 24 hours (SEC via DXLD)
** COSTA RICA. TIRWR, 9725, emanating nothing but a roar at 1339 May 16,
presumably lost feed from Defunct Gene Scott. No such problem vi WWCR 13845,
inbooming with sporadic-E help (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. Africa Num?ro Un not being heard on 15475 or 17630: see ANTARCTICA
[and non]
** LIBYA [and non]. I was monitoring today May 16 at 1405 UT and the Afropop
music distraction (there is nothing to jam after 1400), was actually on
17647.0. At 1344 it was also on 17647.0, presumably to jam Sawt al-Amal
clandestine for Libya, probably the weaker station on 17642.5. Frequencies vary
from day to day or even hour to hour, as SAA tries to avoid the jamming. The
music station stays on until 1531, and is believed to be transmitted from Gabon
on behalf of Col. Qaddafi (Glenn Hauser, Oklahoma, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND [and non]. UT May 16 at 0555 I found the 15 and 17 MHz band full of
signals, many of them Chicom jamming, either Firedrake, also audible on 18160
against Sound of Hope, or out-of-sync multiple audio feeds of CNR-1(?). Time to
try the 21 MHz, even tho it`s the middle of the night, as we are only a month
from solstice with minimum darkness over hi-latitude paths. Yes! At least two
signals were identifiable, BBC in English on 21660, which is Thailand at 25
degrees, and Chinese on 21690, which would be either VOA via Tinian or jamming
against it. This is a summer thing, as there was certainly nothing unusual
about flux or K-index at the time, which would normally not even support 21 MHz
in the daytime (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 15 May follow. Solar flux 77 and mid-latitude
A-index 5. The mid-latitude K-index at 0600 UTC on 16 May was 1 (5 nT). No
space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather
storms are expected for the next 24 hours (SEC via DXLD)
** U K [and non]. Don`t pine over missing the Eurovision Song Contest; BBC
Radio 2 Listen (no longer Listen Again) player has the full 3-hour show as they
covered it disrespectfully, but that`s only audio. Click on more about the show
and you get a page linking to videos of each entry, along with lyrix or more
about the country: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/eurovision/2007/contestants/
However, I could not get Albania`s to play and the ones I did watch, Denmark,
UK and Switzerland, had horrible video quality. Will this last on the BBC
website longer than one week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. CVC La Voz, 17680 via Chile, May 16 at 1403 had some basic
English lessons, ``Move Your Tongue``, involving a $53 plane ticket to London.
How long ago was that recorded? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
