5100.00 Probably Ethiopian jammer, 1630-1702*, Apr 27, broadcasting in
Vernacular with talks about Eritrea and Horn of Africa songs, closing ann
and fanfare, (not // any other heard Ethiopian frequencies), occasional
utility QRM, 34333. But a more faint station below continued till 1802*
with improved strength, probably R Bana in Tigrinya (?) with phone in-
programme and short interludes of Horn of Africa music, mentioned Eritrea
at least twice, 1800 National hymn by choir, 25222 - 35333.

Eritrean station probably was the Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea,
Asmara, also heard 1746-1803*, Apr 22, Vernacular, talks, music; // to
7999.4, 12441, QRM from Ethiopian jamming signal with normal programmes.
(Carlos Goncalves-POR via Anker Petersen-DEN, dswci DXW Apr 30)
I suppose the conclusion is that Eritrea tries to avoid Ethiopian jamming
with their Amharic transmissions or when Ethiopia relay clandestine
programmes by using different frequencies like 5100, 8000, 6170 and
earlier 7800 and 7900.
