WORLDWIDE DX CLUB Weekly Top News

to talk about football/soccer in French and at 1330 the lang was changed
to German. No ID at all, but they sounded very much like RFI and DW
productions. Then at 1358 ID for Voice of Joy featuring series of
programmes in more than 20 langs by "Athletes in Action" [interviews with
World Cup soccer players] and giving web page as aia.com . Straight after
this at 1400 another ID was heard: "Inja Urshalim, Sedaye Esrayil" and
then plug off.

Mauno, Very interesting. I wonder what in the world is going on here, with
Voice of Israel Persian sce even involved (Glenn to Mauno, via DXLD) Per
EiBi, Israel's Persian hour from 1400 is on 15760, 13850, 11605, and is
not known to use any relays. (gh, DXLD)
And yes, I am also puzzled because the whole lot (Denge Mezopotamya, V of
Joy and Kol Israel) sounded like coming from the same tx. I attach the
last three mins of the txion. I used SSB and I think there is an offset of
about 20 Hz.

from the Nigerian Tribune about Ambazania ("The Southern Cameroons Peoples
Organisation has released its political and economic blueprint for the
Southern Cameroons when it becomes independent. Under this blueprint, the
country shall be known as the Republic of Ambazania"(Tribune)). Nice
tribal songs. Fair.
