LIBERIA 5469.9 R. Veritas, 2045-2110 Sept 23, poor with some sort of
radio drama in vernacular at t/in, then closing anmts at 2056 in English
by soft-spoken man with sked and freq, "join us tomorrow morning." Instead
of going off at 2100, went into highlife mx prgm hosted by a man. Signal
greatly improved when they started this prgm so not sure if it was locally
produced or a feed. But, it didn't last long; off in mid-song 2110*.

MOROCCO/USA I can't understand the letter font on the VOA Afghanistan
website. Do you know about an additional - or separate - VOA sce in
Pashto/Dari? to Afghanistan, noted yesterday Wed and today in 1300-1400 UT
slot.
Yesterday Sept 27th came across of a roaring loud 15645 kHz outlet from
Briech, starts with "Yankee Doodle", 1300-1400 UT filler of VOA in
probably Pashto lang to AFG/PAK border area. Another outlet found in // on
11510 from Iranawila, three seconds behind MRC signal.

I think the "1400-1600 UTC (0700-1000 pm local time)" should say 1400-1700
UT. It's not clear if 11510 and 15645 are active throughout the four
hours. I cannot get IBB freq information other than what is listed at
voanews.com.

All VOA Deewa Radio programs can be heard in select cities on FM 100.5
MHz, and on short wave from 1300-1400 UTC on 11510 (26.06 meters) and
15645 (19.18 meters). A strong medium wave signal is forthcoming.
