Re: [HCDX] Clarification needed on some stations....
0508 UTC on 6195 ---ragtime piano followed by German female announcer, heard her say Deutsche Welle. When I checked EIBI, I came up with the BBC : I did not see any listing for DW at that time, so was I listening to a German broadcast from the BBC, and if so, why did the announcer say Deutsche Welle??? That would be a sensation. BBC German is only on FM (I'm happy to live in Leipzig, one of the few cities served). Either it is something brand new, or a tx switching error, or some spurious in your receiver. It's right that DW shouldn't be there. 6190 Deutschlandfunk, from tx in Berlin, has not enough power to be *that* strong in NM on 6195. 0430 1915 NIG Radio Nigeria Abuja E.. NIG 909 7275 0430 2305 NIG FRCN KadunaE,Vn NIG 4770 6090 FRCN is Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria. It is quite common for them to relay central news, from Lagos, or nowadays maybe Abuja (Lagos used to be Kaduna's sister station on 4990). Not only in these joint broadcast FRCN stations often ID as Radio Nigeria, so it was definitely Kaduna you listened to. I think I should replace the official FRCN by Radio Nigeria in my list for clarification. Also, at 0507 I picked up on 6125 SODRE, which is from URG Uruguay, I believe, according to EIBI. The station was playing soft jazz and the announcer was speaking Spanish. Actually there is another valid entry which seems to be mory likely - although less exotic: 0500 0600 E Radio Ext. de EspanaS NAm 6055 6125/CTR I.e. Spanish National Radio from Costa Rica... sorry for that. 73, EiBi -- Eike Bierwirth 04317 Leipzig, DL *** Find the current overall shortwave schedule *** on http://www.eibi.de.vu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] COMPUTERBILD 15/03: Premium-e-mail-Dienste im Test -- 1.

[HCDX] Clarification needed on some stations....
I was listening last night (Mountain Time) and picked up a couple of interesting stations. When I did the research, I came up with a couple of discrepancies. Any explanation would be appreciated... Sat AM 9/6 0508 UTC on 6195 ---ragtime piano followed by German female announcer, heard her say Deutsche Welle. When I checked EIBI, I came up with the BBC : I did not see any listing for DW at that time, so was I listening to a German broadcast from the BBC, and if so, why did the announcer say Deutsche Welle??? Very clear reception 0500 0600 G BBC(Europe) E Eu 6195s 9410s WEu 6195r 9410s From 0511-0600 and still on when I turned it off: 4770 farily strong, but muffled with increasing static. In English, I heard reports about houses lost in a landslide and the need for assisstance; a report on Liberia; a report on Colin Powell trying to get other countries into Iraq; something about Governor Sharif (sp?) and bandits and a convoy of Americans; problems with the Constitution and something about a new Constitution in December; by 0530 almost impossible to hear anything over the static. Then at 0558 I tuned in again, short musice, and then at 0600 the station was ID's as Radio Nigeria. HOWEVER, when I checked at EIBI I found: 0430 1915 NIG Radio Nigeria Abuja E.. NIG 909 7275 0430 2305 NIG FRCN KadunaE,Vn NIG 4770 6090 4770 is FRCN Kaduna, on at the same time, not supposed to be Radio Nigeria!! Any insights into these two discrepancies? Also, at 0507 I picked up on 6125 SODRE, which is from URG Uruguay, I believe, according to EIBI. The station was playing soft jazz and the announcer was speaking Spanish. Fianally, up until a week or so agao, Radio New Zealand on 11820 and Radio Australia on 15515 were coming in like they were from next door around 0500, but NZ has disappeared and RA is coming in poorly in terms of signal strength. I'm in Southern New Mexico. Gloria ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 is out!
