15225 As reported by Glenn Hauser in this week's World of Radio, there is
a targeted broadcast by the "Save the Gambia Democracy Project" - just 15
minutes a week, at 1815-1830 UT on Saturdays on 15225 kHz, via the Nauen
site in Germany. In the UK we'll only be getting a signal off the side of
the beam.

I was able to check for the broadcast from Save the Gambia Democracy
Project. 15225 heard well on June 12 from 1815 until 1830 UT. I wasn't
able to listen to the entire 15 minutes, but it seemed to be one speaker
in a local language (Mandinka?). I didn't hear any English, nor a clear
ID.
(James MacDonell-NIG, dxld June 13)
I missed the very start of what I presume was the STGDP transmission on
15225 on 12 June, tuning-in to a talk in a West African-sounding language
at 1817 UT and listening through to the close at 1830. Just talk, didn't
hear any ID, address, mention of Gambia, or anything else to say that this
was STGDP, although it wasn't getting my full attention at the time, but
undoubtedly it was them. No English. Good reception here.

Yes, I heard it too - same to report as Tony. Strong and very clear signal
in Kent. Audio a bit "clipped".

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
anbei erhalten Sie die gemeinsame Pressemitteilung von "Funkhaus
Euskirchen e.V." und dem Foerderverein "SenderKW" e.V. zum Thema "Die
KULTA 20|10 erobert Europa" mit der Bitte um Veroeffentlichung.
Mit der Ausstrahlung des ersten Weihnachtskonzertes am 22. Dezember 1920
wurde Koenigs Wusterhausen zur Wiege des Rundfunks in Deutschland. Acht
Jahrzehnte bestimmte der Rundfunk das Geschehen im Ort wenige Kilometer
suedlich von Berlin. Seit 15 Jahren ist es nun still auf dem Funkerberg -
zumindest was die Ausstrahlung von Radiowellen im Mittelwellenbereich
betrifft.
Anlaesslich der Kulturtage "KULTA 20|10" wird vom Funkerberg in Koenigs
Wusterhausen in historischer Weise ein Mitmach-Hoerfunkprogramm auf der
