Voice of America announced Wednesday the start-up of a new satellite
transmission of many of its Africa language broadcasts, giving the Horn of
Africa broadcasts in Afan Oromo, Amharic and Tigrigna prime evening listening
time on the 24-hour schedule.
Ethiopians and Eritreans with access to satellite television on Arabsat, the
region`s most popular satellite, can now hear the clear and complete broadcast
of daily news from our reporters on the ground, and from our international
broadcasters in Washington, D.C. This audio transmission of VOA's shortwave air
shows will display as VOA Africa 24 in a list of available channels.
Listeners can tune into the audio of VOA's regular live Monday-through-Friday
broadcasts of Afan Oromo at 8:30 p.m., Amharic at 9 p.m. and Tigrigna at 10
p.m. and the Amharic Breakfast Show at 6 a.m. These evening broadcasts will be
repeated immediately following the live broadcasts. The Breakfast Show will be
repeated at 7 a.m. On weekends, you will also hear the regular broadcasts on
Saturday at 9 p.m. of the Amharic broadcast of the popular Ya Musica Qana and
featured panel discussions and live broadcast of Radio Magazine at 9 p.m. on
Sundays.
[insert caption here]
Instructions for accessing our new audio channel are as follows:

Downlink Frequency: 11.938 GHz

getting the best of Ethiopian and international news. (VOA)

Russia, 5930, Radio Rossii, (Monchegorsk), 0940-0959,
Noted a program of Russian pop
Ballads with a female commenting in Russian between
tunes. Confirmed this with parallel
program on 5940 KHz from R. Rossii. The VOR is suppose
to take over this freq at 1000
UTC. A male continues in comments from 0950. At 1000
programming does not change to
VoR, but continues with Rossii programming. I heard
VoR here in Chinese the other morning, so I am
wondering if they just don't broadcast the Chinese
program on Sunday? Signal of Rossii was fair.

Chuck, as Ron Howard and I have already reported a few days ago, R. Rossii,
Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy has just moved from 5920 to 5930. Surely that is what
you were hearing, not listed Monchegorsk at this hour which is mid-day there.
Can anyone closer confirm whether M. is really active on this frequency too?

Chuck, I should add that Ron and I were hearing 5930 with `motorboating`
defective transmission, a dead giveaway that it was the same transmitter
ex-5920, besides being // 5940 Magadan. Were you not hearing any of that? The
amount of motorboating varies and sometimes it is temporarily reduced. Also
from a different timezone, Monchegorsk would not be // 5940. Glenn

** CANADA. 6160, May 2 at 0600, CBC News with slight echo and rippling SAH, so
CKZN and CKZU both in at this time. Normally programming is 4 hours apart
except for certain hourtop national newscasts. The least CBC could do would be
to: zero-beat the two transmitters with each other; and: synchronize the
network program feeds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Propagation from E Asia was quite degraded the morning of May 2: the
only Firedrake I could find 9-18 MHz was 12950, just barely audible at 1345.
However:
11590 // 11605 at 1234 May 2 in Chinese, presumably CNR1 jammers. You know your
station has a PR problem when the first assumption of anyone hearing it is that
it`s a jammer rather than a legitimate transmission. But do the ChiCom care? Of
course not! The urgency for jamming into oblivion any outside news or opinion
trumps everything else. Uplooked later in Aoki, yes, both are jammers against
RFA`s Tibetan service via Kuwait and Tinian respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. At 1532 May 2 checking for Al?, Presidente relays of
Venezuela, none of those, but RHC itself active with rather weak signals on
11730, 11760, 12030, 15380, the last clashing at about equal level with listed
R. Ashna via Wertachtal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15410, May 2 at 1225 in perfect French discussing strikes in
Spain with frequent voice-overs from comments in Castilian. Fair signal; 1230
DW 4-note sounder, ID and into ``Club de l`auditeur``, bit of ``Happy
Birthday`` ditty and tribute to Togo`s ind?pendence.
This is via RWANDA at 12-13, 295 degrees, preceded by an hour of Swahili,
followed by an hour of Hausa, each on a different azimuth. Hmm, 1230 Sunday is
when we once could hear Club 9516 in English from France with David Page, if
21620 were propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, Sunday May 2 at 1310 and still at 1329, nothing but open
carrier from English hour of VOI, another station which never gets through a
week without some kind of foulup (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6045, XEXQ, SLP, Sunday May 2: tune-in 1202, carrier is on, but no
modulation until 1211 with choral NA, 1213 right into Pomp & Circumstance March
No. 1 by Elgar, which they play in its 6.5 minute entirety every morning to
begin the day. No announcements at all yet until it`s over at 1219.6, sign-on
mentioning 5,000 watts which is the MW 1190 power, 1220 timecheck, 1222.5
another TC and into a waltz. Signal was barely audible vs noise level.
Juli?n Santiago D?ez de Bonilla, DF, has been in further contact with XEXQ. He
says it was reactivated April 28; the replacement part did not come from Chile
but from Newark Electronix in Guadalajara, power is 450 watts to a V antenna 12
meters on a side at a height of 6 meters, oriented north/south (so apparently
we are in a good spot for maximum signal), and the summer schedule is 1200-0400
UT daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 11715, KJES not heard for several days, but certainly active Sunday
May 2 at 1533, inbooming on 11715 with kids doing catechisms in Spanish. Must
have HF sporadic E boost, but not reaching VHF per DX Sherlock and TV-FM Skip
Log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 11705, RNV via CUBA, unusually with decent modulation May 2
at 1237, but usual Commie propaganda in the name of Bol?var. What would Sim?n
say?
``Al?, Presidente`` check at 1532 Sunday May 2: Nothing on any of the usual
Cuban relay frequencies, 17750, 13750, 13680, 12010, 11690 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA ###

** COLOMBIA. 6010v, LV de tu Conciencia, Puerto Lleras, 0425-0450,

as ?The Voice of Your Conscience?. Spanish talk. Fair to good signal
strength but kept drifting up and down between 6010.04 - 6010.08.

** SUDAN [non]. via Slovakia, 15710, Miraya FM, 1415-1525+, May 2,
No Miraya FM yesterday, but back on the air today. Tune-in to open

** SYRIA. 12085, Radio Damascus, 2150-2202*, May 2, local music.
English news summary at 2200. Off the air at 2202. Fair level but
loud hum in audio made reception very difficult. 9330 not heard.
