Re: [IRCA] further TA in Victoria 1 December
I've checked 702 and 1422 several times this week on Kiwi SDRs for any possible French talk before 0500UT, and it's almost always been Koranic recitation. However, this evening, it was a man and woman talking, but in Arabic. However, the Arabic seemed to have a softer sound than Middle Eastern, or even Egyptian, Arabic, and could possibly be mistaken for French when it's poor quality DX. best wishes, Nick At 18:35 2018-12-03, Mauno Ritola wrote: I think Algerian local stations may and do choose the nighttime relay network freely and also may change it and carry also two different networks during the night.

On 702, the French program starts at 0500UT apparently, so not a guideline necessarily for earlier on. This evening, I checked a Portuguese and a Sardinian KiwiSDR , and both delivered Coran Radio IDs on the hour on 702, after much recitation, also //1422.

[IRCA] 549 Ukraine
--- Begin Message ---
Roy, thanks for posting the 549 Ukraine clip. That made me look at some
recent captures and it turns out that this station has arrived here too..
This is a recording from yesterday (5 DEC) at 2100 UTC / 4 p.m. EST. For some
reason Algeria, the usual dominant, was
subdued.https://app.box.com/s/wcx6rbky2g610gys6joyzbc5mgm9omef
Low band eastern Europe around sunset seems to be a "thing" here lately with
all of the following making showings in the 2030-2200 UTC stretch:540
Hungary549 Ukraine576 Bulgaria603 and 756 Romania639 Czech
These stations are over the Spain, Algeria, etc. usuals for a while, then they
tend to drift into background roles once full darkness is reached.
There is also activity other than typical Spain on 558. Non-Spanish speech
pops through for a second or two here and there during splash lulls.
Unfortunately, on my normal antenna, 560 WGAN horse-whips 558 with huge slop.
Iran is suspected as the non-Spain 558.
