----- Australia -----
** ANGOLA
7216.76 Radio Nacional, 1805, excited talk by a man, and fair
modulation. // 4949.75, which was stronger, but had lower modulation.
March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker.)
** ARGENTINA
11710.65 RAE, 1020 with tangos, brief Japanese talk by a woman, into
more music. Causing strong het against presumed China on lowside. Decent
copy with tight filter in USB but copy became more difficult as the
transmitter drifted closer to nominal. March 1. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
5035 Radio Centrafrique, 1749, weak with French discussion by a man and
woman, under heavy CODAR QRM. First time I have heard this in several
recent attempts. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** CHINA/TAIWAN (?)
15900 Firedrake, 1202. Usual music, but, noted male announcer
underneath, about 75-percent readable. Voice of Hope? March 4. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** ECUADOR
3810 LSB HD2IOA, 1146, good with usual time checks by a man every ten
seconds, in H:M:S format. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** FRANCE
21620 Radio France, 1212, English, with ID by a woman, "This is Radio
France International." Then into music program. Perhaps not real DX, but
more of a novelty. It's been years since I heard RFI in English (makes
me think of the "Paris Calling Africa" days). March 4. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** GUINEA
7125 RTVG, 1840, first time heard since reactivation; weak and fluttery
with talk by a French man and also local music after 1848. Feb 25.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** ISRAEL
15850 Defense Forces Radio, 0640, music program with brief comments by
a man between most songs; into announcements at 0658, ID at 0700 and
into news. Very good and in the clear. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** LIBYA
21695 Voice of Africa, 1230, listed Swahili, but couldn't confirm this
with poor and fluttery signal. Talk by a woman and // 17725. This freq
faded by 1310 recheck, but 17725 remained, and even gained strength.
Further check at 1435 had this in English, with talk about towns in
Somalia and Ivory Coast, by a woman. Did another check at 1515, to hear
a man rant about the purpose of the OAU and the UN Human Rights Council,
but no reference to current events in Libya. At 1538 they mentioned
21695 and 17850; no mention of 17725. Then ID by a man. First time I
have heard Libya in English, in a LONG time. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** OMAN
15140 Sultanate of Oman Radio, 1455, English, "This Day in History" by
a man and a woman, into music, which was abruptly cut at 1500, then one
pip and into Arabic news by a man. Very good. March 4. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** PERU
4746.96 Huanta 2000, 1135, noted in passing with mensajes by a man and
woman, best in LSB to escape 4750 slop. Feb 26. (David Sharp, NSW)
4828.47 La Voz de la Selva, 1128, presumed with huaynos and excited
talk by a man. Best in LSB to escape het high side (R. Sicuani?). Feb
25. (David Sharp, NSW)
5039.16 R. Libertad, 1113, good with huaynos, and mensajes by man. Some
CODAR QRM. Feb 25. (David Sharp, NSW)
5120.48 Ondas del Suroriente, 1120, presumed with ads or similar by
man, huaynos, some UTE QRM. Feb 25. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** PORTUGAL
21655 RDP, 1245, presumed with a news-magazine style program, hosted by
a man. Fluttery, but good. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D,
R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.)
** SEYCHELLES
21470 BBC Relay (site presumed), 1253, English, discussion about the
Middle East and other news, good on peaks but suffering slow, deep
fades. March 4. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR,
PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P,
SP-2000 speaker.)
ALGERIA
6297.18 Polisario Front, 2040, good with local acoustic music and
excited talk by a man, best in LSB to escape UTE, high side. 18 Feb.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
ANGOLA
4949.768 Radio Nacional, fair with local vocals and excited DJ. Many

(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
BOLIVIA
4699.92 R. San Miguel, 1032, fair with local music and talk by excited
male DJ. Surprisingly, this one makes it through on days, other Latins
are absent. 12 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5,
ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
COSTA RICA
5952 ELCOR R. Republica Relay, 0715, presumed, with Spanish talk by a
man. Heavily jammed and sandwiched between two other stations (though
slightly better copy in LSB). 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
D.R. CONGO
5066.34 Radio Candip, presume the one with French talk at 1847, into
hilife, much later than listed sign-off. Very weak but readable. 19 Feb.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave
599zx and other accessories...)
EQU. GUINEA
5005.01 Radio Nacional, fair with Spanish vocals. Massive het with
someone, about 1.5 kHz, lowside (but couldn't pull any audio).
Obviously, much better copy in USB. 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
GUINEA
4899.97 Radio Familia, 2030, weak, presumed with Afro music and talk by
a man in French. Tough copy in summer static, but seems to be running
full modulation (audio copy in the past has proved challenging). Tried
for 7125 at the same time, without luck. 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other
accessories...)
INDONESIA
4789.96 RRI-Fak Fak, 1113, surprised to hear this with EZL vocals, talk

R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
ISRAEL
6973 Defense Forces Radio, 2030, very good with discussion by two men,
into music at 2033. Not bothered today by the over-the-horizon radar. 19
Feb. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR,
Timewave 599zx and other accessories...)
MEXICO
6184.99 Radio Educacion, 0742, fading-up nicely with light jazz.
Finally, pre-recorded ID by man at 0800. 18 Feb. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and other
accessories...)
ZIMBABWE
4828.022 Voice of Zimbabwe, 1950, good signal strength, but lousy
modulation. Brief hilife, with talk by a man about how bad things are in
Egypt (as if it's so much better in Mugabe-Land)... 18 Feb. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, PR-D5, ICF-7600GR, Timewave 599zx and
other accessories...)
