+ 85 ft. RW & 180 ft. center-fed RW, logged by my ears, on my 
receiver, in real time! DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. Updated schedule of BRB (former TDP) stations:

E-SAT Radio in Amharic from Sep. 21, ex KCH 100 kW / 180 deg:

* 1st frequency 2nd/4th week; 2nd frequency 1st/3rd week, all jammed
(Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, DX Re Mix News 16 October via WORLD OF RADIO 
1639, DXLD)
 MALI. 15505, Oct 13 at 2220, open carrier with considerable fading; 
2230 maybe starts a trace of modulation. Aoki and HFCC have the 
answer: CRI relay at 2230-2300 (only) in Chinese, 100 kW, 85 degrees 
from Bamako, with usual far-substandard performance (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
 MOROCCO. 9579.14, Medi 1, Nador, 0741-0800, Oct 07, theme music, 
French talk, 34333. For the first time, I heard this away from 9575. R 
Australia on 9580 started at *0800 (Tomoaki Wagai, Wakayama, Japan, 
DSWCI DX Window Oct 17 via DXLD)

** MOROCCO [and non]. 9579.12, Oct 13 at 0112, Médi Un, Nador 
transmitter is still malfunxioning, far off frequency from 9575, and 
producing an 880 Hz (A-note) het against the 9580 station which at 
this hour is CRI English via Cuba. After 0200, when CRI had switched 
to Chinese, the het was still audible but not as strong, altho CRI 
parameters remain the same per HFCC, 250 kW at 10 degrees. And the 
other Nador transmitter, for IGIM on 15349.1, remains totally unheard 
at numerous chex in the daytime.

9579.12, Oct 14 at 0519, Médi Un Nador transmitter is still off-
frequency and accomplishing nothing except interfering with legitimate 
9580.0 stations, such as Africa No. Un, from which French was audible 
beside that het, no modulation detectable from 9579.12 itself.

9579.12, Oct 14 at 2002, another daypart when Médi Un, off-frequency 
Nador transmitter is audibly QRMing a legitimate transmission on 
9580.0, no doubt GABON. At least we don`t hear it in the mornings vs 
R. Australia, but it appears to be on the air at least sporadically, 
24 hours, and hardly modulating itself; turned on and forgotten? 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1639, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. VON --- veeery interesting piece of info:

Re 12-41: ``7254.92, Voice of Nigeria, 1945-1957*, Oct 8, English news 
program. ID. Abrupt sign off. Slightly off frequency for the English 
service but back on the air at 2000 in French on 7255.00 (Brian 
Alexander, PA, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)``

This seems to mark some change that may have taken part even some 
months ago but found it never reported: When Abuja on 15120 was in AM 
earlier this year, 7255 or 9690 carried a different English programme 
from Lagos. But this points to Abuja on 7255 for the English evening 
service (probably // 15120 in DRM?) while French is still from 
Ikorodu/Lagos. One may conclude that there is still no proper audio 
link from Lagos studios to Abuja transmitters, as it seems that
transmitters in Abuja are only used for programmes produced in Abuja 
(such as the evening edition of 60 minutes which IDs as Voice of 
Nigeria Abuja unlike other newscasts). 80-100 Hz offset are common to 
AM transmissions from Abuja (also Hausa in the mornings), while 
Ikorodu is usually properly on frequency, or occasionally about 750-
1000 Hz off. 73 (Thorsten Hallmann, Germany, October 13, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

7255, Voice of Nigeria (presumed); 2133-2140+, 10-Oct; Very Dylanish 
sounding tune with harmonica; native chant/vocal with thumb harp; 
brief announcement at 2139 over music. All in LL [unknown language; 
Hausa?]. SIO=433 with downfrequency ARO splash (Harold Frodge, Midland 
MI, USA, Drake R8B + 85 ft. RW & 180 ft. center-fed RW, logged by my 
ears, on my receiver, in real time! DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Terrible mess on 7255 kHz at 19-20 UT slot. Noted at 1940 UT Oct 14, 
CRI Turkish and R Belarus on EVEN frequency 7255.000 kHz, but terrible 
80 Hertz heterodyne signal, seemingly caused from Voice of Nigeria 
Ikorodu on ODD 7254.920 kHz (Wolfgang Büschel, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 
15 via DXLD)

7255, Voice of Nigeria, 2230-2302:40*, Oct 14, talk in listed Hausa. 
Some local music. National Anthem at 2301. Test tone at 2301:40. Off 
the air at 2302:40. Very strong but an overall poor signal with strong 
whine in audio and weak adjacent channel splatter.
 
15120, Voice of Nigeria, 0502-0525, Oct 14, tune-in to English news. 
ID. At 0506:10 gave TC as “0505”. Weak in noisy conditions and slight 
whine in audio (Brian Alexander, PA, DX
Listening Digest)
 
We discussed that already past days here in German newsgroup [A-DX]

Nigeria is using 2 transmitters on 7255 kHz (judging by tracks) 
interchanging, so appearing alternatively on both 7255.000 and 
7254.992 kHz. wb

15120.000, Abuja vs. Ikorodu. Now at 0750 UT on Oct 14 on 15120.000 
kHz just exactly on the frequency. S=9+10dB here in Germany, flute 
music from West Africa. Also 0600 UT Oct 16.

Just measured it at 0920 UT on 9690 kHz in English, the channel is 
exactly 9690.000 kHz, rather down half a Hertz.

Terrible mess on 7255 kHz at 19-20 UT slot. Noted at 1940 UT CRI 
Turkish and R Belarus on EVEN frequency 7255.000 kHz, but terrible 80 
Hertz heterodyne signal, seemingly caused from Voice of Nigeria 
Ikorodu on  ODD  7254.920 kHz (Wolfgang Büschel, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews 
Oct 14, dxldyg via DXLD)

15120, Oct 17 at 0450, VON with drumming IS, fair signal, along with 
15400 Dabanga/MADAGASCAR, the OSOBs. VON is often inaudible here at 
this time, but Thorsten Hallmann in Germany says it`s almost always on 
the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN. 9505.01, 1850-1906*, CLANDESTINE, 11.10, La Voix du Soudan 
(presumed), vernacular announcement, mostly gentle instrumental music 
from Horn of Africa - New frequency, 25332 (Anker Petersen, heard 
recently in Skovlunde, Denmark, on my AOR AR7030PLUS with 28 metres of 
longwire, via Dario Monferini, playdx yg via DXLD) Why do you think it 
is clandestine? Otherwise looks like it`s from Khartoum (gh, DXLD)

** SUDAN. Re: SUDAN [non]. From October 1 Voice Of South Sudan 
Revolutionary Radio ceased its shortwave broadcasts 0500-0800 on 15725 
& 1200-1500 on 11650, both from DB. Instead of it, on October 2, 0500-
0600 on 15725 and 1400-1500 on 11650, a new program with African music 
and several times announcements in Arabic: "Saut Afrikya min Idaa-tu 
Sudanya" and in French: "La Voix du Soudan, Radio National du Soudan" 
was being broadcast. There were announcement in third language too, 
probably in Somali/Swahili. Please check in next few days!! 73! (Ivo 
Ivanov, Bulgaria, WORLD OF RADIO 1639, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

11650 not heard since (Ritola, DSWCI DX Window) Until when? (gh)

Not heard today on 15725 khz at 0530. But instead, per Thorsten 
Hallmann tip I hear similar announcement on 9505 kHz at 1840 
yesterday. 73, (Mauno Ritola, Finland, Oct 11, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
