UNIDENTIFIED: I've been trying to see if I can hear Bahrain on 9745 kHz<br />

after HCJB leaves the freq for 2 hours at 2300 and before CRI comes on in<br />

Spanish for an hour at 0000 UT. However, right after HCJB goes off, the<br />

freq is covered by noise; is this a jammer, and who would they be jamming<br />

in this time period. Or is this just Digital Radio Mess? I noted, though,<br />

earlier this week one day that the jammer went off about 2350, and<br />

yesterday (July 7), it went off at 2345 UT, and both days I could hear<br />

Arabic mx with a fairly weak signal in USB? Could this hopefully be<br />

Bahrain? Any help on both of these would be appreciated.<br />

It's DRM, per with Vatican<br />

scheduled as follows: 2300-2345 daily 9750 300 N America 60 Vatican Radio<br />

CVA English Santa Maria Vatican<br />

So looks like the only window you can expect is 2345-2400. Getting a<br />

definite ID is tough, but if it's in Arabic, on USB (no LSB), the<br />

circumstantial evidence is pretty strong.<br />

BANGLADESH 4750 The Home Service of Radio Bangladesh was noted<br />

yesterday 12 July 2006 on 4750 at around 1430 UTC (parallel to 693 kHz<br />

MW). Off by 1600 when I checked. They were testing this freq and 4880 very<br />

recently along with 41 meter fqs.<br />

BENIN Trans World Radio hat die Lizenz fuer den Betrieb eines<br />

Mittelwellensenders in Benin erhalten. Dem TWR-Direktor fuer Westafrika,<br />

Pastor Abdoulaye Sangho, wurde die Lizenz Anfang Juli im Beisein<br />

zahlreicher Kirchenvertreter in einer feierlichen Zeremonie ueberreicht.<br />

Bereits im vergangenen Jahr hat die Radiomission fuer 1,2 Millionen Euro<br />

die Sendeanlage in der Naehe der Stadt Parakou errichtet. Staatspraesident<br />

Mathieu Kerekou hatte TWR im Jahr 2003 zum den Bau einer Sendestation in<br />

dem westafrikanischen Land eingeladen. Von den rund 7,5 Millionen<br />

Einwohnern Benins sind 50 Prozent Anhaenger von Naturreligionen, 30<br />

Prozent Christen und 20 Prozent Muslime. Die Station wird auf 1566 kHz<br />

christliche Programme auch fuer Algerien, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali,<br />

Mauretanien, Niger, Nigeria und Togo verbreiten. Die meisten Sendungen<br />

werden in Franzoesisch ausgestrahlt, aber auch in Regionalsprachen. Im<br />

August wird TWR-Praesident David Tucker Cary/USA, bei einer Afrikareise<br />

auch Benin besuchen. TWR sendet in Afrika ueber zwei weitere Grosssender<br />

in Swasiland und Suedafrika. Deutscher Partner von TWR ist der<br />

Evangeliums-Rundfunk (Wetzlar). Kuenftig werden ueber den neuen Sender<br />

auch Programme ausgestrahlt, die der Evangeliums-Rundfunk mitfinanziert.<br />

Im Rahmen des Projektes "Afrika soll leben" werden Sendungen produziert,<br />

die Hilfe im Umgang und zur Praevention von Aids vermitteln sowie zu<br />

Landwirtschaft, zu Hygiene und zum christlichen Glauben informieren.<br />
