RUSSIA CLANDESTINE (Ethiopian) 15260 Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
1605 - 1704* Sept. 17. Presumed this one to be at this time frame, the
entire program consisted of Horn of Africa Instrumental Music to Local
Tribal Dance Music. No announcements or any information at sign-off which
was late. The last four minutes the same song was repeated over several
times. Strange that the entire broadcast was in this form?

CLANDESTINE (Ethiopian) 15260 Ethiopian People Patriotic Front (EPPF)
*1600-1709* Sept. 20. Noted at 1553 UT with 800 hertz tones. Horn of
Africa Musical with singers in Amharic at 1600 UT. Into opening
announcements, noted a partial ID for 'ye demoractica .. arbenyoch ...yea',
but a terrible warbler type of noise appeared during the entire broadcast.
It remained on the whole time till sign-off. The entire program consisted
of talks, with Horn of Africa Instrumental Dance Music with singers, but a
very tinny musical sound. Again on this one, this broadcast went past the
schedule sign-off at 1700 to 1709 UT with repeat of the last song several
times.
