Subject: Re: [WOR] MID WINTER
As I mentioned earlier, I'm travelling today so couldn't record the broadcast at home in NB. So, I used the U. Twente SDR receiver and recorded 9575 and 12065 kHz. Signals were good with peaks of S9+10 on 9575 and S9+20 on 12065. 9575 had to be tuned in USB due to a utility (RTTY?) transmission on 9574 (source?) and still had a bit of interference. Like usual, the Ascension transmission started a bit late. Why? They started the sender at 21:25 and transmitted a carrier for a minute or so and then again at 21:27. But then they had a crash start after 21:30 and missed a sentence or two or three of the broadcast. 12065 was o.k. and started on time.

Good signal on 5960 via UAE with family messages from 2132. King's message at 2146.
Also heard at fair level on 12065 via Woofferton. 9575 via Ascension barely audible.

Bodo who once (July 2009 til 2011 final) erected Abuja’s two antennas:
one revolving Ampegon (now parked on fix azimuth because of mis-usage by the local people)

No, V of Nigeria`s last frequency was 7255 for several years, now gone for a few years.
It was easily heard here from just before 0600. VON in DRM? Vaguely recall 15120.
I never heard it. The 8 languages currently claimed are certainly imaginary. Glenn

That is NOT the Alliss rotating curtain antenna that may still be in use at the Issoudun transmitter site?
Nigeria really needs to bring it's global radio reach back to life, and it needs a big financial and technical boost to make it happen.

Last we heard them, they were noted on 11770 a few years ago...

VON Plans Antenna Reactivation, Broader African Broadcast

The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Mallam Jibrin Baba Ndace, has announced a strategic plan
to reposition the station as a leading continental broadcaster, beginning with the reactivation
of its rotating antenna to significantly enhance broadcast coverage across Africa.
This announcement was made during a courtesy visit by the
Deputy National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Comrade Bimbola Oyetunji, at VON headquarters in Abuja.

Mallam Ndace outlined his vision to reposition VON as a leading voice in Africa, highlighting plans to:

– Reactivate the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) shortwave transmitter & rotating antenna, the largest in Africa
– Add three new languages to its broadcast lineup: Chinese Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, and Portuguese, bringing the total to 11 languages
– Recruit freelance reporters across major cities in Africa
– Create high-quality content that will showcase the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria and Africa
– Highlight the importance of peace, security, and stability in Nigeria and Africa.
