WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

17670 AWR Madagascar in Vietnamese lang ? S=2 poor, 250 kW tx on even
frequ., not 'wandering' 50 kW unit at MDG.
17666.70 kHz whistle carrier parked here byside at 1300-1315 UT. The
strongest station here in Germany of all. Moved to 17665.00 even at 1315
UT and started WeAfro-Cuban type of mx. Moved to 17660.00 even at 1318 UT
and played continously WeAfro-Cuban type of mx.
17665 only one poor station, UNID S=2 poor here in SoGER. Letting in the
clear today at 1300 UT, no jamming station heard here, except 1315-1318
UT, and Arab-Libyan? mx station later in second half hour, and still on
air at 1406 UT.
17660.00 Heard a station with Arab-Libyan? mx, but only S=3 signal from
1300 UT, like anti-Libyan clandestine Sawt al-Amal now appears to be.
Full covered by the WeAfro-Cuban type of mx station from 1318 UT onwards,
had a break between 1401 and 1406 UT, and ceased at 1630 UT.
I guess, that t w o different Libyan govt secret sce organizations playing
JAMMING in this range against anti-Libyan clandestine Sawt al-Amal.
In our western ears the WeAfro-Cuban type of mx station is much more
attractive.
Acc to TDP list, Libya should own a lot - up to 20 - mostly Thomcast and
RIZ made SW txs on various locations to set up a strong jamming sce. But
maybe jamming skips over Libya mainland audience, due of 1500 km dead zone
around Sabrata and Tripolis.
For example remote access to Gabon 500 kW site to play WeAfro-Cuban type
mx as Jamming against Sawt al-Amal northwards to Saharan North Africa
would not work properly in order to move the freq instantly, like happened
today at 1315 and at 1318 UT, when 17667 replaced by 17665 and 17660 kHz
then.
At 1629 UT the UNID WeAfro-Cuban type stn had same S=9 +10 dB level like
CRI Bamako-MLI relay on 17880 kHz.

17665 kHz is having now 2 stations ...the African nonstop songs station
....and a station with nonstop Libyan songs as well. no trace of Sout Al
Amal.

Well ... back again on that path of Libya and the Voice of Hope.
Today Feb 8, 2006 I checked 17660 ... and I heard an ID of a station
playing nonstop Libyan songs. The usual ID "Idhaat Aljamaheyia al Ozma "
Great jamaheryia Radio by a YL around 1216 and 1227 UTC.
On 17680 kHz I could hear Sout Alamal with IDs and same program contents
since Jan 27, 2006. On the same freq. I could hear a jammer and suddenly
around 1230 UT that non stop african mx was there for a few seconds and
stopped. Sounds like tey are trying to adjust it. A huge carrier on the
same freq, as well which makes the S of sout al amal hanging between 2 and
3.
First time to hear Sout Alamal on 17680 kHz.
About that african station. All I have in mind, is the mxal library of
Voice of Africa ;) but no ID what so ever.
All the best from Cairo
