6927.054 RASD Tindouf is back on 6297.054v.
Arabischer Pop auf 6297 kHz. tent RASD at 1849 UT, O=2-3, oder treibt
sich da ein anderer Araber rum?

... wie die ID kurz puenktlich (!!!) zum stuendlichen Zeitzeichen um
19:02:30 UTC auskunftete, geht das voll in Ordnung.
Frequenz 6927.054 kHz. Jetzt kann man ausrechnen, ob das in ppm die selbe
Zugabe (+3,6 ppm) wie zur Zeit ist ...

6297.1 Western Sahara R surprisingly strong S=9+20 open carrier at 0555
UT Aug 10, or rather not totally open as accompanied by a roaring sound.
On exactly the same off-frequency as before, must be Radio Nacional de la
Republica Arabe Saharaui Democratica, the Polisario Front clandestine from
just across the border in Tindouf, ALGERIA. It's been missing for months,
as seems to happen every year, but eventually revives. Last report of it
in dxld was March 13 in issue 10-11.
At 0600:50 UT military band plays anthem for almost a minute, then YL
announcement, language uncertain but unseems Spanish, then OM chanting
until 0613 UT more melodic music mixed with talk. Unfortunately, a spur
from one of Suddenlink's cable DTV converters lands right on same
frequency, impeding copy!
Reactivation was first reported by Mike Barraclough, UK, Aug 7 past 2303
UT.

Previous sign-on time per Aoki and WRTH was 0700, a bit late for me, so
I'm glad it's now 0600 UT. Because Morocco was observing DST of UT +1? Per
that just ended Aug 8, in time for Ramadan, and there is no DST in
Algeria. The final hour at 23-24 should be in Spanish.

CLANDESTINE 700 Polisario Front, Rabouni (near Tindouf-ALG), is being
heard on this alternative frequency daily since the 1st inst., // to 6297
kHz which doesn't seem to be at its best though as the HF tx is often
airing an empty carrier, or simply off, or then airing the noise like "IS"
that's played prior to the start of their b/casts.
