** CHAD. 4904.97, RNT, 2205-2232*, May 30, threshold signal with talk & music. Too weak to catch any details but signal came up out of mud at 2231 just in time to ID the National Anthem at sign off. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** ETHIOPIA. 5950, Voice of Tigray Rev, 0310-0330, May 31, surprisingly strong. Completely covering Taiwai via Okeechobee with Horn of Africa music. Amharic talk. A very weak Okeechobee heard underneath Tigray. // 6170-poor to fair. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** IRAN. (non). via Kuwait, 5860, Radio Farda, 0220-0240, May 31, Euro-pop/techno-pop dance music. Mid-Eastern pop music. Talk in listed Farsi. IDs. Possible news at 0230. Weak. Much stronger on // 7280-via Germany. Weak // 9510-via Germany. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** SUDAN. (non). via Sines, Porgugal, 17690, Sudan Radio Service, 1500-1528, May 31, English “Lets Talk” program with discussions about elections in Sudan & human rights. Short breaks of African music. IDs.

Strong, ugly, badly distorted signal with LA music. Spanish announcements. Too distorted to catch an ID but Amazonas has a reputation of putting out distorted signals around here. (Brian Alexander, PA) ** ZIMBABWE. (non). via Madagascar, 11610, Radio Voice of the People, *0400-0457*, May 31, Sign on with test tone. Short bit of African music at 0401 & into vernacular talk. “Radio VOP” & “Radio Voice of the People” IDs. Short breaks of African music. Some English after 0440 but always difficult to understand due to accents. English news & sports news. Closing English announcements at 0455 with Zimbabwe address & e-mail address. Weak but readable.
