?Nnamdi Kanu, Radio Biafra Director Abandoned By British Government
?Masterweb News Desk, concerned about the silence of the British government
over the arrest and detention of one of their citizens, Mr. Nnamdi
Kanu,?Director of London based Radio Biafra by Nigeria?Department of State
Services?(DSS) made a phone call to?the British High Commission in Abuja. Our
call was directed to the Emergency Center of British Foreign Office in
London?since we had called after office hours.?An official named Emmy Hawo who
answered the phone told our News Desk?she could help us with any question
regarding their High Commissions and British citizens abroad.
?
When Masterweb asked Ms. Hawo what the British government had done for the
release of?Nnamdi Kanu, a British citizen and director of London based Radio
Biafra. She asked: "Who is that and can you spell the last word of the radio
station?" Our News Desk?reporter responded: "The?radio station is Radio Biafra
and the last word?is spelt B-I-A-F-R-A. So you haven't heard the word Biafra
before?nor?the arrest of Radio Biafra?operator, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu in?Nigeria that
has caused massive demonstrations?in Nigeria and all over the world?" To
this?question Hawo?replied "No."
?
Our reporter explained to Hawo that Nnamdi Kanu was?in mid October?this year
arrested in Nigeria by the country's secret police (DSS), charged to court
where?he was granted bail and still remains in DSS custody after meeting all
bail conditions. Hawo responded:?"The only consulate assistance?we can offer to
British citizens held abroad is to call the arresting local police?to check on
their welfare. In Nnamdi Kanu's case, I am quite sure our mission in Nigeria
has made calls to check on his well-being.?The assistance we can offer him
is?limited; we cannot demand his release, he is detained?under the laws of
Nigeria.?It is the responsibility of his lawyer?to do all that is within the
local laws to?seek his release."???
?
The only effort made in Britain for the release of Kanu is a letter written to
the British government by Harriet Harman, member of British parliament
representing Camberwell and Peckham of which so far has not yielded any result.
The letter dated?October 22, 2015,?addressed to Philip Hammond, Secretary of
State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs?titled?"Detention of my constituent
Mr. Nnamdi Kanu"?read as follows:
?
?I understand that Mr Nnamdi Kanu, who I am told is a British citizen and lives
at ?was arrested on the 17th October 2015 by the Nigerian Department of
Security Services (DSS) when arriving in Lagos from the United Kingdom.
?
?I understand Nnamdi is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
who are agitating for the independence of Nigeria?s former Eastern Region. I?m
told that the pro-Biafra group are non-violent and therefore should be afforded
protection under Article 1 of the charter of the United Nations.
?
?I?d be grateful if you could let me know your understanding of what Nnamdi has
been arrested for,what he might be charged with, where he has been held and
what consular engagement there has been.
I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Harriet Harman?
?
Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, Director of clandestine Radio Biafra and leader of Radio
Biafra faction of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was on October 17, 2015
arrested by Nigeria Department of State Services (DSS) in Lagos. He was on
October 19 arraigned by the DSS at Abuja Municipal Council Magistrate court
where he was granted bail in the sum of N2 million or with surety of N2 million
with a civil servant of grade level 16. He has since met the bail conditions
but still remains in DSS custody.
?
Billie (Human Rights Initiative)/Council of Elders is the other faction of
IPOB. Radio Biafra was part of this IPOB until Kanu broke away to register his
own IPOB which is now organizing protests for his release from detention.
?
In July this year, Nigeria National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) announced
they blocked Radio Biafra signal because it was operating illegally and
broadcasting hate messages. Briefing Journalists after the NBC announcement and
meeting between officials of Ministry of Information and President Buhari, Dr.
Shade Yemi-Esan, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information said: ?Right now
the signals from radio Biafra have been jammed successfully by NBC. The
commission is also working with security agencies to get those that are behind
that radio because it is an illegal radio. It is not licensed by anybody to be
on the airwaves in Nigeria.?
?
Clandestine Radio Biafra contrary to claim by NBC of jamming it - with the
exception of the recent successful takeover of their shortwave frequency, still
broadcasts? on satellite TV dubbed Biafra Television, Internet, FM and AM.
Radio Biafra 'weapon of mass destruction' has been destroyed with NBC takeover
of her shortwave as? Nnamdi Kanu, Radio Biafra Director in a statement posted
on their website described their shortwave radio as ?Nuclear War Head?.

** ASCENSION. 6005, Nov 19 at 0538 check, BBCWS in English again with that hum
on the carrier. Suspect it`s always there as heard Nov 11 at 0519. Which
frequencies does same unit employ at other dayparts?
I also noted in earlier report that 6005 and two other Ascension frequencies
were not synchronized, to which Chris Greenway of BBCM replies:
``Hi Glenn, Ref. your note in the latest DXLD about the transmitters at
Ascension not having their audio in sync. This is deliberate! It's to smooth
out power consumption - i.e. avoiding a surge when there's an audio peak. The
technique caused a problem a while back when a DXLDer spotted that two ASC
transmitters on the same frequency (but different beams) had audio out of sync.
I pointed this out to the relevant colleagues and it was fixed. Obviously, the
technique should only be used when the transmitters in question are on
different frequencies. The technique was introduced when Ascension went over to
wind-generated electricity`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9605, Nov 19 at 1438, VG signal in Chinese, i.e., CNR1 jammer against
IBB via Philippines this hour only; // 9530 for same reason (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Nov 19 at 0420, R. Rebelde modulation is cutting out and carrier
unstable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11880, Nov 18 at 2055, as semi-napping, I land on a quiet OC, until
2058 when RHC English suddenly cuts on. The sloppyrators at RadioCuba have
turned the feed on early, supposed to be on 11670 only, before this starts
French at 2100, and whose own 11880 English will not restart for another hour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GOA. 11560, Nov 19 at 1430, SW Asian talk, poor with hum and squeals.
Wolfgang B?schel says the AIR Panaji, Pashto/Dari service at 1300-1530 and
0200-0345 has moved here from 11740. Goa transmitter often has defects; the
squeal might have been spur from 11550 WEWN, but heard nothing like it on the
lower side with BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7400, Nov 19 at 1305, Shiokaze, Yamata, Japan, with
typical sounders and comments in presumed Thursday English; no CCI from China
as Ron Howard points out that CRI has left this hour, but plenty of ACI here
from 7405 Radio Mart?, making listening to Sea Breeze difficult (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 930, Nov 19 at 0707 UT, noise de open FM STL from the SW, presumably
the usual XEDT Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, but stops at 0708* uncovering a weaker
station in Spanish CCW, probably XEOK NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, Nov 19, various checks between 0525 UT and 0705 UT fail to
detect any signal from WKY OKC. Did their tower fall down, or what? No new news
about it at radio-insight.com nor any outage mentioned at own
http://www.laindomable.com/ Perhaps close-in, no one notices. This allowed me
to DX several other 930s which normal big night signal from WKY blox, filed
under U S A and UNIDENTIFIED.
Before our sunrise at 1313 UT Nov 19, at 1250 UT, I`m checking 930 again, and
at 1251 UT do detect an ``Indomable`` ID, but it is *very* weak ? surely less
than 100 watts, and/or maybe a longwire substitute? Also ID at 1320 UT but
still unable to overcome skywave CCI; at 1315 there was C&W music from NW,
probably Colorado. I had also detected WKY at midday yesterday, so maybe it was
still on 24 hours tho not recoverable at night. However, next check Nov 19 at
1917 UT, WKY 930 is back to normal, stronger than 890 KTLR and 1000 KTOK, so my
fun is probably over. See also UNIDENTIFIED 930, another Spanish station (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5050, Nov 19 at 0421, WWRB is on here with Brother
Scare instead of 3185 which is off; next check at 0515, switch has been made
from 5050 to 3185. So now at 0500? Don`t depend on it.
5109.7-CUSB, Nov 19 at 0422, Brother Scare is on this WBCQ, but not // 5050
WWRB, while something else is on 7490. Indeed, TOM is scheduled on the 58-meter
band outlet only on UT Thursdays at 02-04, but now he`s running past then. This
was to compensate for BS being bumped off 7490 for Hal Turner Wednesday nights,
UT Thu 02-04, and `Financial Survival` repeat runs every night 04-05 UT Tue-Sat
on 7490 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 5985, Nov 19 at 0423, Chinese instead of NHK in Spanish, fair
signal from WRMI. Must be a mixup. RTI Spanish relay was supposed to have
changed from 7730 to 5985 as of November 17, but at same time as before = 03-04:
``Nuevo esquema de R. Taiw?n Internacional

(Pedro Sedano, AER, Nov 15, noticiasdx yg via DXLD)``
All I heard briefly was in Chinese but maybe it was the Spanish service an hour
later with a Chinese segment? Anyhow, that leaves 7730 now scheduled zero hours
per week. The original 5985 service had been at 04-05 only, first half hour
Radio Jap?n, second half hour variety of DX and other programs (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6080, Nov 19 at 0654, VOA discussing some female country artists
topping charts, good signal but then fades a bit; vs Cuban pulse jamming stray.
Suspect it`s still Greenville substituting for S?o Tom? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1800 monitoring: confirmed first SW broadcast Thursday
November 19 at 1230 on WRMI 9955, good with no jamming. Also confirmed Thu Nov
19 at 2100 on WRMI 7570, good too. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Thu Nov 19 at 1225, tuning in WRMI early before WORLD OF RADIO,
the Spanish DX program `Frecuencia al D?a` has Jos? Miguel Romero2 voicing his
Valencia-DX report as the final item (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 750, Nov 19 at 1258 UT, ``Univisi?n Am?rica 750 AM, una estaci?n
euforia[?]``, i.e. KAMA El Paso TX. Also in nightmiddle sometimes QRMs WSB when
it should not, but situation not as bad as it was earlier this year (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Nov 19 at 1352 UT now on 50 kW ND day pattern, KKOB says it`s 32
degrees in Albuquerque and plugs ``talk partner 1050 KTBL`` which is a mere 1/1
kW, sufficient for overflow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 780-USB plus carrier, Nov 19 at 0712 UT, ``780 AM, Fountain,
Colorado, home of the legends``, and yes, nothing on the LSB but WBBM; so why
don`t they ID as ``780 USB ---``? NRC AM Log shows address of KCEG is in
Denver, while Fountain is beyond Colorado Springs.
Replying to my earlier query about other SSB stations is Dave Valko: ``Doing
another review and found that 880 WPIP [1800 W D1, Winston-Salem NC] is AM with
LSB ONLY (no USB component), just like 870 WPWT [10000 W D1, Colonial Heights
TN]. Interesting`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, Nov 19 at 1323 UT, ``Univisi?n Am?rica 870 AM, una estaci?n
euforia[?]``, same slogan as heard earlier on 750 KAMA. Some other word than
euforia, but what? Maybe not: Random House Spanish Dixionary translation is not
``euphoria`` but: ``resistance to disease; buoyancy; well-being``, certainly
positive attributes, and a bit more specific than ``m?s buena``!
Anyhow, the only 870 Ua station is: KLSQ Whitney (Las Vegas) NV, 5000/430 watts
U2. Night pattern goes northwest only, so surely on day pattern and probably
power, well before sunrise which in Nov is officially 1415 UT (Dec & Jan: 1445
UT). I was checking whether XETAR Chihuahua would still be audible this late,
as during standard time it doesn`t open until 1300 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Nov 19 at 0525 UT, `Jim Bohannon` live feed // 690 KGGF, best on
N/S antenna, in the (almost?) absence of WKY OKC. In fact I`m getting a reverb,
so two JimBo stations. This single page
http://www.jimbotalk.net/station-finder/
now displays all affiliates at once, facilitating searching by frequency rather
than having to click on each state. Besides too-far outlets in MD and OH, we
find these on 930, with local times here converted to UT:
WTAD Quincy IL 04-07
WKCT Bowling Green KY 03-06
KSDN Aberdeen SD 03-06
KROE Sheridan WY 04-06
Very likely I am getting WTAD and KSDN, also logged on 930 before and soon KSDN
again for sure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Nov 19 at 0705 UT, break after some network news with ad for
Aberdeen Civic Arena, weather, and ``Newstalk 930, KSDN, Aberdeen`` South
Dakota. This would also be one of the stations with Bohannon over an hour ago.
If WKY OKC were on at normal power, I would not be able to hear this from the
opposite direxion. Once again I suspect another station is out of whack: KSDN 1
kW night pattern is supposed to throw northeast, and we are south. 5 kW day
pattern has major lobe NW, minor lobe SE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Nov 19 at 0526 UT, classic rock roughly east-west, vs JimBo on
the N/S antenna. 0557 UT a John Denver song; 0600 UT ID for WGAD Rainbow City,
and 103.9 FM W2####. That`s on the newly acquired ICR-75 with ALA-330 antenna.
This is facilitated by the lack of any audible signal from WKY OKC, but which
may be on but at very puny power; see OKLAHOMA.
An hour later I`ve switched to the DX-398 with internal ferrite only: 0658 UT
Nov 19, country song runs over 0700 UT; finally 0702 UT, clear ID for ``WGAD,
Rainbow City-Gadsden and W280ER, 103.9`` and jingle as ``The greatest hits of
all time, WGAD``, then disco tune. Imagine that: top billing to the AM, not FM
translator. FCC shows W280ER is licensed to Anniston, but with a CP for Gadsden
--- another one of those move-in deals for AMs desperate to get on FM. Before
and after, the translator is separately owned/licenceed.
Per NRC Pattern Book, 500-watt night pattern is supposed to go south with
essentially no signal to the west! 5 kW day is non-direxional.
NRC AM Log doesn`t mention Gadsden AL, just CoL Rainbow City, with address in
Oxford, format AC. Station obviously identifies with larger city Gadsden of
which Rainbow City is a suburb, on I-59 in northeast AL, while Oxford is quite
some distance to the south on I-20, near Anniston. WGAD is probably also one of
my unIDs from yesterday, rather than KCCC NM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1580, Nov 19 at 1347 UT, nulling KOKB OK, I get something from the
NW/SE, mentioning ``northeast Colorado/southwest Nebraska``, so that`s KAMI
Cozad NE, 1 kW ND; making 3.5 Hz SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 930, Nov 19 at 1252 UT, just after confirming that WKY OKC is on
the air but at severely reduced power, I`m briefly hearing another weak SS
station, counterclockwise from WKY, ``los ?xitos de hoy, Qu? Suave`` (or Ke
Suabe?) ? trouble is I`m not certain of the last word, and don`t find any
listings for such a slogan or anything similar in western US or Mexico.
If Mexican, the only likely 930s this late are XESHT in Saltillo, Coahuila, but
it`s supposed to be ``La Poderosa`` or ``La M?s Buena``; or XEQS in Fresnillo,
Zacatecas, which is ``Rom?ntica``. Could it be KCCC Carlsbad NM in a recent
flip? Well, there is a `Que Suave` in Carlsbad, but it`s a hair/nail salon.
Searching on that slogan mainly hits on KSWV 810 Santa Fe. How about KAPR
Douglas AZ, listed as SS? Could be, except it`s allegedly // KVOI 1030 which is
NewsTalk in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
