MOLDOVA 15670 Radio Mada International via Grigoriopol Maiac Moldova
[Pridnestrovye] at *1530-1600* UT on Jan 30. I finally remembered to check
again for this on the weekend. Yes, they are still here with fair
reception; sounded like Malagasy; interview in studio; segment with
interviews with a lot of background noise from a large crowd; 1555 UT
played nice African ballad till suddenly off with no announcement; fair.
300 kW at 160 degrees.

No curtain antenna available towards Africa at Grigoriopol Maiac. Most
probably the revolving antenna at
47 15 48.82 N 29 24 01.08 E in use.
NIGERIA 15120 ... 15119.99 strong at S=9+10dB level at 1935 UT.
Modulation amplitude for music segment was too high. But talk audio from
studio was superb "clean" tonight. Music selection from West Africa sound
was excellent.

PAKISTAN The Frequency manager of Radio Pakistan informs me that they
will once again broadcast in Nepali, Sinhala and Tamil from February 1st.
The existing schedule between 0900 and 1330 UT via API-3 & 4 will be
replaced with:
0900-1000 Bangla
1000-1030 Nepali
1045-1145 Hindi
1145-1215 Gujrati
The proposal is to use 11580 and 9345 kHz for all of these, but I informed
him that both frequencies would probably receive co-ch interference. So
the final choice is not yet known.
At 1230-1300 UT Sinhali and 1300-1330 UT Tamil is listed for 11580 kHz
(this may be changed) and 15630 kHz.
Their services in Pashtu and Dari are scheduled from 1300 UT on one - or
maybe both - of these transmitters, so it is possible that these services
will start at 1345 UT instead via 6235 kHz. I have no positive information
about this.
