Hello Chuck, Many thanks for your kind remarks, but really credit is all
due to Bill 5X1JM in Kampala, I merely passed on the news to him. He has
now had a formal acknowledgement from UCC who are still investigating, and
we are also awaiting their consent to amateur use in Uganda of the 7100-
7200 kHz segment of the band. We have that in Kenya, thankfully, but as
far as I know not yet in Tanzania, Burundi or Rwanda, who are all part of
the EA Community.

Dear Ted, this is indeed very good news. Pse convey my best thanks to Bill
Musoke 5X1JM as his complaints and reports to the Ugandan authorties
worked: Effictive 21 August 2010 UBC Radio Uganda has left 7195 kHz and
QSY'd to 4975.9 kHz.
Already on August 20 I had sent emails and a FAX to the Ugandan Embassy in
Berlin and to UBD in Kampala. Of course no reply, so far!
I have heard the tx-ions of UBC on 4975.9 kHz myself last night at 2104
UTC. The signal was S=9 with my 80- and 40-m-dipole (Inverted Vee and
// to each other, favourite direction north-south). Modulation was hollow
and always a bit distorted. Bcos of the "crooked" QRG it is easy to hit
the correct frequency easiyly. Have a try!
Tnx agn for your effort, pse QSP to Bill 5X1JM, and all the best
yours, Uli, DJ9KR Vice Coordinator of IARU MonSys Intruder Watch Region 1

UAE 1269 25 Aug at 2205 UTC, Radio Asia UAE with Hindi/Malay pops,
several canned IDs and no DJ. Presumed automation. Poor signals this
morning and a fluttery fade. 200 kW from Ras al Khaima.
1539 on 25 Aug at 2052 UTC, US Radio Aap Ki Dunya, with roundtable
discussion in Urdu. Must have been a political talk because one of the
participants was shouting angrily, and I could almost imagine him foaming
at the mouth. Good signals with some moderate fading. Germany's 700 kW
Evangeliums-Rundfunk heard occasionally underneath, but very weak.
1575 on 25 Aug at 2037 UTC, US Radio Farda, regional 800 kW powerhouse
running ME pop music and occasional DJ patter. Good signals with
occasional deep fades.
