14980 kHz, July 25 at 1900 UT, TWN, R Xi Wang Zhi Sheng, SOUND OF HOPE -

I've never heard anything but Firedrake all-music jamming on 14980. Your
clip was certainly not FD. However, there's a good chance what you had
was not a 100-watt Sound of Hope transmitter, but the ChiCom using
hundred+ kW of CNR1 programming instead to jam SOH, which they sometimes
do. Should seek // on numerous other CNR1 frequencies, preferably not
used for jamming.

And Sound of Hope is another interesting catch. Recently, to be more
precise since last month, I have not heard any Firedrake jamming! That's
weird and I don't know how to explain it. Crazy propagation?
Before I start logging, I usually scan all the bands, manually, in 5 kHz
steps, AM mode, filter wide, including non WARC bands. If I catch
something strange, I switch to narrow filter, maybe SSB (ECSS), try both
dipoles using a switch box, and then start investigation.
And it was what happened with 6793 kHz and 14980 kHz.
On 14980 kHz, my initial thought was a CRI or regional emission from
China, and I have scanned 25 and 31 meters to check for parallel, and I
found nothing similar, just the classical CRI emissions, nothing compared
to this. A woman talking a lot - for a long time - is a little bit
different (completely to be more precise) than regional programming of
China (lots of music, changing patterns, and so).
A German DXer who subscribes to my channel, has accessed the recording
posted at Youtube, and commented he has already logged this emission. Of
course I can not assure 100% that it was Sound of Hope, but probability is
very high to match it.

CUBA 5055 very poor signal in Spanish, music mix, Aug 2 at 0527 UT.
Soon realized it was leapfrog of Cuba 5025 over 5040 kHz, and then
confirmed by // audio. This might explain some unID on 5055, if both the
Cubans are strong. Also lower leapfrog would land on 5010 kHz, leading
people to hypothesize Honduras, dream of Dominican Republic or even
imagine Madagascar. So always check for Cuban parallels, the dirty birds.

CYPRUS If you please, I am looking for the current address for the BBC
Limassol, Cyprus relay station. The 2009 address I have is apparently
outdated or incorrect, the PO Box (209) no longer being correct. Thanks
in advance.

Hi Bruce, curiously enough, the East Mediterranean relay station is listed
among embassies and consulates (!) on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office
web pages
The address you are looking for is:
