** CHINA. Firedrake, Feb 25: very poor at 1640 on 8400; also heard it a couple
hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DJIBOUTI [non]. Newly discovered clandestine La Voix de Djibouti, 15165,
confirmed Feb 25 at *1530-1629:30*. Had looked for it starting before 1500 as
there was conflicting info about correct schedule, but nothing there, until cut
on abruptly at *1530, with music, anthem? Then brief announcement, also brief
Qur`an, more talk in non-French, mentioning kHz, and a .com.
Presumably all in Somali and still so when local noise, power-tooling neighbor
overrode at 1610-1619. By 1619 when that cleared up, station had switched to
French; sounds like a lot of platitudes. Dave Kenny, who had no such noise
interruption, says French started at 1612.
Cut off the air at 1629:30* sharp before speaker was finished. So it`s coming
from a transmitter site with precision timing, but no clues beyond that. Signal
at start was S9+10 with flutter and diminished somewhat during the hour.
Tnx to Chris Greenway for uncovering this, which has allegedly been on the air
every Thursday since 7 January. More in French only at
http://www.lavoixdedjibouti.com/
About time Djibouti, the former French Somaliland, Afars & Issas, had its own
clandestine! Website indicates it is that, ``free and independent voice,``,
etc. Emissions Radio page axually linxs to mp3 files of the seven/eight
broadcasts so far, and there are also apparently full French transcripts on the
next page.
I did not realize Djibouti was so mountainous, even above the timber line,
judging from the only illustration on the website. Hints it may be based in
Colorado? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1501, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LIBYA. 15215, Feb 25 at 1637 disco music into French talk about d?mocracie,
so must be from a democratic nation, right? Wrong, it`s La Voix de l`Afrique,
from Q`daffy`s Great Jamahiriyah, // better 17725. BTW, the final PWBR claimed
this is via France starting at 1700. Not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. 13800, R. Dabanga, Feb 25 at 1607 marred by continuous 1 kHz
tone, still there at 1644 when Dabanga was speaking some kind of Arabic and ran
a singing ID jingle. This tone seems to be on 13800 whenever Dabanga is, so
suspect it is intentional jamming, altho there are more effective ways to do
that; or possibly a transmission problem and no one has noticed? Unlikely,
since it`s via the well-run Madagascar site of RNW, 1530-1727 daily, 250 kW,
325 degrees. Once again I confirmed this is a DSB tone peaking at 13799 and
13801, not a het on only one side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9369v, WTJC still off the air Feb 25 at 1411 and later chex thru
1645, for the second day, following going totally haywire beforeyesterday. We
can only hope and pray, that while waiting for Jesus to come, they will really
work on fixing it this time before putting it back on the air (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11725, WYFR Spanish back to normal at 1418 Feb 25, 24+ hours after
being badly broken up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7470, Feb 25 at 1405, Asian language talk, but with a
noticeable buzz/hum, 1408 that diminished briefly and then resumed. Aoki says
VOA Tibetan via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, due northwest. Surely this service is
jammed by the ChiCom, but it doesn`t usually sound like that, so perhaps a
transmitter problem.
13725, poor signal with something in Mandarin, Feb 25 at 1609. Latest R. Free
Asia schedule in DXLD 10-06 shows Mandarin via TINIAN, at 15-17, which of
course must be jammed by the ChiCom, but I only heard one audio, so can`t be
sure which (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13645, nothing there yet on Thursday Feb 25 in several chex
between 1607 and 1645; however, propagation was relatively poor today altho
Saudi was still audible on 13710. An unID 13645 station was reported last
Friday and Saturday from Brasil with a very good signal, so need to check again
next two days.
That frequency came up as once used by the clandestine V. of Southern
Azerbaijan, which was for northern Iran, in 1998 and did not make another
appearance until 2003 on another frequency, so it`s about time again, tho
probably will turn out to be something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###

BBC signals an end to era of expansion
Patrick Foster, Media Correspondent
The BBC will close two radio stations, shut half its website and cut spending
heavily on imported American programmes in an overhaul of services to be
announced next month.
