audible at 2118.  (25 Oct.)

6030   ETHIOPIA   R. Oromiya  Incredible level. 1949 HoA mx and 
really nice smooth audio.  Girl anncr in pres. Oromo at 1952 recheck,

SOMALIA  7119.998  Radio Hargeysa Somali program noted at 0445 UT
on Oct 28, S=7 signal in southern Germany unit.

ERITREA/ETHIOPIA   Both VOBME outlets from Asmara Eritrea were subject of
digital white noise jamming at tuned-in 0448 to 0510 UT on Oct 28.

Heavy white noise JAMMING from Gedja Jawe site in Ethiopia
at this time slot,
14 kHz visible on 7146.556 kHz,
and 16 kHz visible/propagate towards Europe on 7184.989 kHz.

Both Asmara program outlets were different,
more HoA mx played on 7146v kHz,
more spoken and news heard on 7185v kHz.

7146.556 kHz S=9+10dB signal strength.

7184.989 kHz S=9+10dB signal strength,

and another signal of equal S=9+5dB level
produced on adjacent 7185.033 kHz in 04-05 UT slot,
some 44 Hertz BUZZ tone interference - hit each other -
til 0502 UT, then disappeared the latter program outlet.

SUDAN  7205even  Sudan Radio Omdurman proper carrier of S=9+20dB at 0452 UT,
on Oct 28, b u t  VERY LOW MODULATION though.

En jää kaipaamaan. 891 tulee jatkossa olemaan selvästi helpoin 
aussitaajuus etelässä ja 890 toivottavasti aukeaa paremmin myös

UT, ID as ``1180 Zone 2 the Deuce``, i.e. KZOT Omaha NE. OC/DA loops SW/NE so I 
think it`s KLPF Midland TX, which I recently confirmed had completed its 
upgrade move from 1150, with Guadalupe Catholic network programming in English. 
About to sign-on? No, still OC but fading at 1302 UT. Both these are 25 kW day

unusual here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

6090   ETHIOPIA   Amhara R.  Massive strength!!  Having audio 
trouble.  Was a bit distorted and it was going off and on 2019-2021.  
Nice HoA mx already at 1947 t/in.  1958 M and W alternating w/great 
flute mx, then more HoA mx over ToH.  Studio M anncr in distorted audio 
at 2024-2027.  More somber song at 2044 recheck.  Mx right to 2059 usual 
ID anmnt bracketed by the ethereal vibraphone melody, choral anthem 
ending at 2100:58, and OC to at least 2102.  By far the best ever hrd.

5820   MADAGASCAR   RTE R.  Easy 100% copy.  1951 lounge mx w/W 
vcl, couple people tlking together mentioning “Tango”, and a Tango for 
abt 30 sec. and then the people cont. tlking, then Glenn Miller’s 
“Moonlight Serenade” alternating w/one of the ladies was telling a 
story, but the audio dropped way down.  Then “Who’s Taking You Home 
Tonight” by Vera Lynn was played mixed with the people tlking again.  
1956 M pgm host tlk by Mona and Bernie, and Penny and their lives, cont. 
Very Lynn.  1958 fanfare, deadair, tone, and off.  Good signal.  (25

7700U ITALY   Marconi R. Int.  Barely getting some mx at 2041:20 
peak.  Still getting some weak mx at 2052.  More instru. mx again at 
2102 and more solid signal.  2105:50 M anncr in IT w/ment of onda corta. 
 2107-2109 nice IS of repeating organ melody mixed w/multi-lingual IDs 
by M (peak at 2107) including short EG ID at 2108:55 as “?? free radio 
station, Marconi R. International”.  2110:35 ment of “pirate free radio” 
during IS.  2111:10 same EG ID as at 2108:55, then immediately into 
longer IT ID anmnt.  2113 “Star Wars” theme mx.  Apparently went off at 
2115.  Weak but slowly getting stronger.  There was a carrier on the 
freq as well, but since this was in USB, it didn’t cause any QRM.  You 
can see a video of the reception at  https://youtu.be/90kizp-_kA8  (25

7146.56  ERITREA   V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea  Unbelieveably 
coming in at 1745 w/W speaking, 4 and half hours before lcl sunset.  Had 
to tune USB to avoid the Hams below.  Fairly decent lvl at 1751 w/HOA 
mx.  M anncr and more HoA mx w/better signal after 1811.  W2ABQ 
tremendously strong calling CQ and causing severe QRM.  (26 Oct.)


7185   ERITREA   V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea  1748 tlk by W 
but not parallel to 7146.45.  Clear of Hams at 1754 when went into HoA 
mx starting w/yelling.  1813 Ham was blowing in his mic and asking if 
freq was in use.  (26 Oct.)


7120   SOMALIA   R. Hargeisa  Already getting a signal, though 
no audio, at 1743 when I first turned on the receiver.  Finally able to 
definitely hear M anncr at 1750.  Could barely hear M anncr at 1851 
recheck.  Audio a tad higher but still very weak.  Ham playing around 
right on top at 1857.  W anncr at 1859 w/apparent closing (almost 
readable), 1900-1901 HoA mx (not an anthem), and signal off at 1902:00.  
(26 Oct.)


5950   ETHIOPIA   V.O. the Tigray Revolution  A signal showing 
up hear by 1757, along w/6110, but no 6090 or 6030.  1806 definite heavy 
drum beat.  A little more audio at 1832 w/tlk by M.  HoA mx at 1847.  
Very slowly getting better, but big improvement after 1950.  1959 
apparent closing anmnt by M under KBS OC.  Video of reception can be
