The Star R Station Manager was speaking as the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR
symbolically transferred assets to several of its partners in Liberia
including Star R. Mr Morlu hopes the three motorcycles provided to Star R
will help enhance the work of some of its correspondents, but said more
was needed.

NETHERLANDS ANTILLES 15755drm The Disco Palace, 26 May at 2030 UT.
Lovely stereo audio of scary old disco tunes, with nearly local FM
quality, when the signal can be decoded, which is intermittently, with
constant dropouts and not even 15 seconds passing before the non-stop
disco action farts into deadness while waiting for the next decodable bit
to make it through the aether, and this is in the target zone, the targets
being the USA and Canada. If I can't even decode the signal reliably here,
then it will be exactly as poor in Ontario and presumably worse
Northwards.
If this really is a US station, why is it broadcasting from Bonaire?
Wouldn't it be more effective stateside? Why is it broadcasting from 2000
to 2100? Who is listening? Who is the target audience? The frequency of
15755 is barely within the MUF limit for today's solar flux, so wouldn't
something in the 22 meter band be more wise? As it is, I'm having a
horrible and truly tortuous listening experience.
Thanks for proving yet again what a fiasco broadcast digital radio and
television are. They are unreliable even when they're local, so what
chance do they have when they're two F-hops away? And switching off the
broadcast mid-song at 2100 sharp? I can't express how heartily that
encourages me to attempt listening again.

NIGERIA This is a good time for AM Nigeria here in Cape Town. Over the
past few nights I’ve identified: 594 FRCN Kaduna, 612 Kwara State BC,
729 Kano State BC, 756 BC of Oyo State, 917 Radio Gotel, 918 Radio Benue,
972 Katsina State Radio and TV Services (tentatively) and 1026 Jigawa BC.
Through the evening hours from greyline (1700) to sign off (around 2300)
this group gives you pretty much the full gamut of Nigerian radio. There’s
news in English, Hausa, other local languages and pidgin, Christian
evangelism, Muslim chants, hootenanny and Irish folk music, many local
music styles and instruments, bleeding heart phone- ins, local education
announcements, ads for internet or vitamins and political discussions in
vernacular. The only one I haven’t been able to identify clearly is 972
