ERITREA/ETHIOPIA Tried to monitor all ERI/ETH frequencies systematically
in the afternoon; the following is somewhat a condensed report giving an
image of the situation in the last one or two weeks in the period between
1600 and 1800 UT:
R. Ethiopia: In addition to the usual frequencies 7115 has been observed
on several days roughly between 1630 and 1730 in addition to // 5990/7110,
but presumably about 1 second delayed.
Noise Jammer: There are up to two noise jammers mainly switching channel
by channel between 7100 and 7120, but also occasionally on 7175, 7220 or
8000.
VoBME 1: 7100 on air, but very irregular, and no channel figured out which
is regularly replacing this one. Observing the pattern of jamming + R.
Ethiopia bc, it's likely that also ERI is also around there.
VoBME 2: 7175 on air, but very irregular, but often 7220 is on with most
certainly news in Arabic + FM freq. announcements at 1700. When last heard
7175 ERI until 1700, 7220 came up a few minutes after. So probably 7220 is
the standard alternative freq. to 7175 if jammed there.
UNID 8000: This one, presumed the same as reported as unid or ERI at 0400-
0559 also, is on air regularly 1500/1600-1700* and occasionally *1710-
1730*. No ID, IS or anything like that, afternoons likely not // to any of
the others. Also no more observations of presumed ERI 7999.4.
Presumed R. Oromia 6030: monitored once with instrumental IS-type music at
1557, than into "typical HOA style" programming until at least 1630.
VOTR: usually strong on 5950 and irregularly // weak 6170.
R. Fana: 6110 often audible, but 7210 hardly.
R. Bana: 5100 audible, but usually very weak until 1800, but no jamming
observed.
