caster for Armenia Broadcast). See less Listening Reports, Messages,
Suggestions at:

<mysteryforjoy -at- gmx.net>  Last Modification on 7 Oct 2026.

But on second thought, I probably shouldn't be too ashamed of that, so I'm
asking for your opinion, dear listeners :

Would it be a good idea for me to set up a donation page so you can con-
tribute to broadcast projects like the one from Paochung, central bcast
center in Taiwan, for our Japanese listeners, or the MW broadcasts from
{Monaco owned Roumoules-France LW & MW center site - for our European
listeners ? I let you comment in this post !

CHAD   Richard Langley-NB-CAN  posted the following to the 'WoRadio' io
group on 16 Sept 2026: "I'm at the ION GNSS+ conference in Orlando-FL.
There is an exhibits area and Continental Electronics has a booth. The guy
running the booth told me that a Continental Electronics HF transmitter
is being installed in Chad about two weeks from now.

He didn't provide any more details so I don't know who the customer is not
even if it's civilian or military. Anyway, something to possibly look out
for". Jean-Michel Aubier, again on the World of Radio io group, replied:

"According to Gemini: This initiative is part of the project to modernise
Chad's national broadcasting network (ONAMA). The American company Con-
tinental Electronics is installing high-power shortwave (HF) transmitters
to ensure coverage across the entire Chadian territory as well as neigh-
bouring countries, where local FM transmitters cannot reach. 

Key details about these transmitters: Objective: To restore consistent
national radio coverage (the national shortwave radio system had been out
of service or obsolete for several years)".

CHINA   CRI Esperanto: Please see page #27 of "Asia on Shortwave" for an
interesting observation and comments from Atsuhiko Takezawa-JP about China
Radio International's Esperanto service. The current schedule for CRI
broadcasts in Esperanto (with transmitter sites) is as follows:

1100-1200 13655-Urumqi   15110-Urumqi  to the Far East.
1300-1400  9440-Nanning  11650-Beijing to South-East Asia.
1700-1800 11650-Xian     13670-Beijing to Europe.
1930-2030  7265-Urumqi    9745-Kashi   to Europe.
2200-2300  7300-Kashi     9880-Kashi   to South America

RHC Esperanto: The only other shortwave station with an Esperanto service
is Radio Habana Cuba. Their Sunday-only programme was observed by Franz
Bleeker-GER in July 2026 at 1500-1530 on 11760 and 15140 kHz, although
RHC's frequency usage is unpredictable at present and they may be heard on
alternative frequencies, or not at all.

Please see the entry for Cuba in"Latin America and the Caribbean on Short-
wave" for further details.

CZECH REPUBLIC   Central Bohemian skyline to lose distinctive landmark
when Liblice mediumwave transmitter masts come down.

The two 355-metre-high masts of the Liblice transmitter near Cesky Brod
are due to be demolished by controlled explosions in October 2026.
In its time, the complex, built in 1976, was the most powerful medium-wave
transmitter in Central Europe, with an output of 1.5 megawatts. Czech
Radio broadcast from the site until the end of 2021, after which the
transmitter was temporarily used by Country Radio. Broadcasting from
Liblice finally ended in March 2025.

CZECH REP    Chamber committee wants stability of CRo foreign broadcasts

The lower house media committee considers it desirable to ensure stability
and continuity for Czech Radio (CRo) international broadcasts through the
budget of the Ministry of ForeignAffairs, it stated today while discussing
information on the funding of international broadcasts on Radio Prague
International.

The draft state budget for next year allocates 26.25million crowns for CRo
international broadcasts, which is the same amount as this year. TheAugust
draft budget for 2027 did not include any funding for this purpose at all.
In 2025, 35 million crowns were allocated for international broadcasting.
CzechRadio is required to broadcast abroad by law. The law also stipulates
that these costs are covered from the state budget. When the state budget
for this year was discussed in the lower house in February, Foreign Mini-
ster Petr Macinka (Motorists) said money from the state budget should not
be used to pay for the foreign radio broadcasts.

Deputy Foreign Minister Radek Augustin (for Freedom and Direct Democracy,
SPD) told the media committee today that originally there was no money in
the ministry's budget for these broadcasts, because it was expected that
the funding of public service media would be changed. CRo director Rene
Zavoral said that the radio due to lower funding from the state,the number
of employees in foreign broadcasting was decreased, weekend news coverage
was cut, and the production of podcasts and newsletters limited. 'Radio
Prague International' currently broadcasts in seven languages,during week-
ends only in Czech, English and German. This year, Czech Radio's interna-
tional service is celebrating its 90th anniversary.

ESTONIA   Alexander Beryozkin-RUS says that there are currently no Russian
broadcasts of 'Voice of Hope' (Tula-RUS) via 'Radio Eli' on 1035 kHz as
listed in both "Europe on Mediumwave" and "External Services on Medium-
wave". Alexander checked the times that they were previously broadcast and
found regular 'Radio Eli' Russian broadcasts at 0300-0500 and 1600-1700 UT
and a Ukrainian one at 1700-1800. Thanks Alexander, updates will be made.

Alexander also says that 'Missionwerk Friedensstimme' (Marienheide, Ger-
many) in Russian is being relayed via 'Radio Eli' on 1035 kHz at 1100-1130
Sunday (initial transmission), 0000-0030 Tuesday, 0800-0830 Thursday,
1600-1630 Friday (the last three broadcasts are repeats of the original
one).

ETHIOPIA   With Ethiopia heading towards internal conflict again, it might
be worth keeping an eye on any possible resumption of shortwave broadcasts
from 'Radio Ethiopia', especially if the government wants to air its views
in places like the Tigray, Afar and Amhara regions where local FM and me-
diumwave transmitters may fall into the hands of opposition forces if
things escalate.

Indeed, Reuters reported on 26 September 2026 that internet and phone ser-
vices went down across Tigray on the orders of the Tigray People's Libera-
tion Front, so another good reason why the government in Addis Ababa may
restore a service on shortwave.

During the last civil war in the Tigray region in 2020-2022 years, 'Radio
Ethiopia' was heard daily between on 7110 kHz at 04.00-10.00 UT, 13.00-
15.00 UT and 16.00-18.00 UT; it was last reported on 7110 kHz in October
2023 presumably by then things were considered to have returned to normal.

FINLAND    Arctic 252 August update: August 9th marked the first test of
the Nautel ND2000 transmitter on a temporary antenna. The test consisted
of test tones. August 24th marked the first broadcast of prerecorded audio
content. The transmitter is currently on a temporary antenna so our reach
is only 150km (groundwave) at present. The proper antenna is yet to be
moved and installed but this should take place in September before the
winter season.

The Nautel ND2000 is currently running at 600Watt carrier and 750-800 Watt
peak modulation. The losses in the temporary antenna are huge! Further
changes will mean more power at a later date. We are on the lookout for a
Nautel ND4000 and its ATU.

Audio enhancements are being carried out so we are still in a testing
phase using prerecorded programming. If you can help the station in any
way it would be great to hear from you as we are also still in need of a
MW and SW transmitter plus an Optimod audio processor. A huge and grate-
ful thanks for those of you who have supported the project, it has taken a
long time to get to this point with many ups and downs along the way but
we are there, after 32 years a new LW station from Finland is on air,
albeit a small start.

GERMANY   Der 'Sender Joe' Erlangen _ Tennenlohe Germany ist seit Maerz
2026 auf Mittelwelle nicht mehr auf Sendung und kehrt dahin auch nicht
mehr zurueck. Zuletzt war er auf 1485 kHz aktiv. Auf Anfrage beim Fraun-
hofer IIS bekam ich von Herr Laske folgende Information:

"der 'MW Joe' ist seit Maerz ausser Betrieb. Ein Sturm hat die Antenne
zerlegt. Wir mussten ausserdem feststellen, dass die Sendersteuerung auch
einen Knacks abbekommen hat, und es wurde entschieden, dass wir den Sender
nicht mehr in Betrieb nehmen. Die Anzahl Hoerer rechtfertigt den Aufwand
fuer die Reparatur und eine neue Antenne nicht.

Das ist irgendwo schon schade, gerade natuerlich fuer die passionierten
KW- und MW-Hoerer. Die Entscheidung ist fuer mich aber nachvollziehbar".

GERMANY   Radio/TV: Sendemast in Halle droht das Aus.

<http://www.satellifax.de/mlesen.php?id=fa0e08c770507fb32fe5753af6073df5>

Wegen eines gekuendigten Mietvertrags steht ein Funkturm in der Diesel-
strasse in Halle vor dem Aus - mit gravierenden Folgen fuer den {ter-
restrischen} Empfang von Fernsehen, Radio und dem Katastrophenschutz.

Das berichtet das Portal "dubisthalle.de". Nach 20 Jahren Betrieb sei der
Mietvertrag zwischen der Energieversorgung Halle GmbH (EVH), einer Tochter
der Stadtwerke Halle, und der Deutschen Funkturm GmbH (DFMG) fuer den
Standort an der Dieselstrasse nicht verlaengert worden.

Damit drohe dem terrestrischen Fernsehen (DVB-T2) mit 45 Programmen sowie
dem UKW-Sender von Rockland (98,3 MHz) das Aus. Zudem laeuft hier ein
Pilotprojekt mit dem neuen, mobil-terrestrischen Fernsehen 5G Broadcast.
Die Zuweisung wurde von der Medienanstalt Sachsen-Anhalt erst in diesem
Jahr bis 2028 verlaengert.

Gibt es nicht noch eine Einigung, muesste der Funkmast demontiert oder
gesprengt werden. Weitere UKW-Radioprogramme und das Digitalradio DAB+
sind nicht betroffen, da diese vom Fernmeldeturm auf dem Petersberg
noerdlich von Halle kommen. Da dieser aber nicht stadtnah liegt, eignet
er sich beim Fernsehen nur bedingt fuer die DVB-T2-Versorgung. Genau aus
diesem Grund wurde der Funkturm in der Dieselstrasse gebaut.

<https://dubisthalle.de/droht-halle-das-neue-tal-der-ahnungslosen-
wenn-in-der-saalestadt-das-fernsehsignal-ausgeht-auch-
katastrophenschutz-betroffen-vertrag-fuer-funkturm-gekuendigt/>

GROK: Der Funkturm Halle (Dieselstrasse) ist ein 160,5 m hoher frei-
stehender Stahlfachwerkturm (zweitgroesster seiner Art in Deutschland
nach Leipzig), der 2005 von Steffens & Noelle im Auftrag der Deutschen
Telekom / DFMG errichtet wurde und seit dem 5. Dezember 2005 sendet.

Geschichte und Standort. Er steht auf dem Gelaende des Energieparks
Dieselstrasse der Energieversorgung Halle GmbH (EVH, 100-%-Tochter der
Stadtwerke Halle). Der Standort wurde bewusst stadtnah gewaehlt, weil
der Fernmeldeturm auf dem Petersberg (noerdlich von Halle) fuer die
DVB-T2-Versorgung der Stadt nur bedingt geeignet ist. Die DVB-T-Aus-
strahlung startete 2005 zunaechst mit oeffentlich-rechtlichen Program-
men; private Angebote (u. a. RTL-Gruppe) kamen spaeter hinzu.

Seit Maerz 2017 laeuft der Regelbetrieb von DVB-T2 HD (ARD/MDR-Mux,
ZDF, freenet TV u. a., ca. 45 Programme insgesamt). Zusaetzlich laeuft
UKW Rockland Sachsen-Anhalt auf 98,3 MHz.

<de.wikipedia.org>

Weitere UKW- und DAB+-Programme kommen vom Petersberg und sind nicht be-
troffen. Der aktuelle Konflikt. Der Mietvertrag zwischen der Deutschen
Funkturm GmbH (DFMG, Telekom-Tochter) und der EVH lief nach 20 Jahren aus
und wurde im Oktober 2025 nicht verlaengert. Die Medienanstalt Sachsen-
nhalt (MSA) informierte ihre Versammlung am 2. September 2026 darueber.
Ohne Einigung droht die Ausserbetriebnahme; der Mast muesste demontiert
oder gesprengt werden.

<medienanstalt-sachsen-anhalt>

Warum keine Verlaengerung? Oeffentliche Quellen nennen keine konkreten
Gruende (z.B. Mietpreis, Flaechenbedarf der EVH, technische Umnutzung des
Energieparks oder strategische Entscheidungen der DFMG). Es handelt sich
um eine klassische Nichtverlaengerung eines befristeten Gewerbemietver-
trags ueber den Standort. Verhandlungen oder eine Loesung sind bislang
nicht oeffentlich bekannt.

Folgen
* Fernsehen: Terrestrischer DVB-T2-Empfang (Zimmer- oder Aussenantenne)
in Halle und dem direkten Umland faellt aus.

Alternative: Kabel, Satellit oder Streaming.

* Radio: Nur der Rockland-UKW-Sender (98,3 MHz) ist betroffen.

* 5G Broadcast: Seit Sommer 2024 laeuft am Standort (ueber die bestehende
DVB-T2-Infrastruktur, UHF-Kanal 40) ein Pilotprojekt von Media Broadcast
(mit MSA-Zuweisung). Es wurde 2026 bis Ende Mai 2028 verlaengert und
testet terrestrisches Fernsehen/Warnungen direkt auf 5G-faehige mobile
Endgeraete (ohne SIM/Datenvolumen). Das waere ebenfalls betroffen.

<broadbandtvnews.com>

* Katastrophenschutz/Resilienz: Der Turm gilt als wichtiger redundanter
Uebertragungsweg. Bei Blackouts, Naturkatastrophen oder Cyberangriffen
kann terrestrischer Rundfunk (unabhaengig von Internet / Mobilfunk)
Warnungen und Informationen flaechendeckend verbreiten. Die MSA spricht
von potenziell lebensgefaehrlichem Schaden fuer die oeffentliche Sicher-
heit der Region.

INDONESIA  7289.9 kHz  RRI Nabire Pro 1 [non-log], 09.30 UT, Oct 4; moni-
toring via Townsville, Queensland KiwiSDR remote; found them already off
the air. This station must have the most erratic schedule for their clos-
ing time, comparing both today's and yesterday's broadcast times.

Oct 3, heard RRI Nabire (best in LSB_mode) from tune-in at 10.50 UT till
tuning-away at 12.25 UT; heard via KiwiSDR remote at Half Moon Bay, just
south of San Francisco; long segment of almost all non-stop Christian re-
ligious songs and one segment of preaching in Bahasa Indonesia language;
11.00 UT, with no break in the music; about 11.45 UT, started EZL songs
and announcers; one song in English (Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers with "I
Will Always Love You"); after 12.00 UT, reception was a challenge due to
ham and China QRM. Clearly still on the air at 12.25 UT.

INDONESIA   Monitoring Voice of Indonesia today Oct 7 on 9690 kHz from
Jakarta, Cimanggis, Depok, West Java site as I often do, found a huge in-
crease in their signal strength; for a long time I had heard 9690 kHz with
a very weak signal via the KiwiSDR remotedly at Jakarta-INS; today I am
easily hearing 9690 kHz, from 10.25-11.00 UT via the KiwiSDR remote at
Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco-CA-USA, and also via remote in
southern California.

Transmitter must now be back to full power, after a long time airing a
fraction of their power. As usual today VOI was in English. Great to have
them well heard again!

7203 kHz (RRI Pro 3) continues their long standing silence.

Helpful feedback from Mauno Ritola-FIN:
Yes, I also noticed it a couple of days ago. I understood, that it was
working with only 50 watts, but now full 1 kW.

NICARAGUA   Prensa Latina: 'Russia Today' in Spanish begins free-to-air
broadcasting in Nicaragua.

<https://www.plenglish.com/news/2026/09/29/russia-today-in-spanish-
begins-free-to-air-broadcasting-in-nicaragua/>

Managua, Sept 29 - The international television network Russia Today (RT
en Espanol) has begun free-to-air broadcasting in Nicaragua via UHF ch 31,
Co-President Rosario Murillo announced.

During her daily address, the official noted that this marks the first
stage of the network's free-to-air broadcasts, with coverage set to gra-
dually expand to the country's various departments in the coming months.

The launch of the free-to-air signal in Nicaragua complements its availa-
bility through cable television providers, a delivery method through which
RT en Espanol was already accessible to part of the national audience.

RT en Espanol was established in 2005 in Moscow, Russia, while its Spa-
nish-language service began broadcasting in December 2009.

The channel, which has a significant presence in Latin America and other
continents, provides news coverage on politics, economy, culture, and glo-
bal social events, positioning itself as an alternative to major hegemo-
nic media outlets. {jdt_otf_ybv}

SPAIN   Spanish broadcasting to the USSR and socialist countries, 1946-
1975.

International broadcasting by RNE (Radio Nacional de Espana) - Spain's
national radio service - began with transmissions in English and French
on March 15, 1942. The launch of broadcasts in German, Italian, Portu-
guese, and Arabic on December 14, 1944, likely coincided with the opening
of a new transmission center in Arganda del Rey, equipped with a 40 kW
transmitter.

The exact start date for Russian-language broadcasts is unknown, though it
is presumed to be 1946. Initially, Russian broadcasts aired daily as part
of RNE's six-language service for Europe; a YouTube video (linked below)
provides the broadcast schedules for each of these languages during the
1945-1947 period.

In 1949, three additional languages - Polish, Hungarian, and Romanian -
were added. Broadcasts in Slovak began in 1950, followed by Ukrainian in
1951. In 1955, broadcasting commenced in Bulgarian and Chinese, as well as
in the three Baltic languages: Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian.

At that time, RNE's foreign service was divided into three groups: the
first was designated "Broadcasts for countries behind the Iron and Bamboo
Curtains", the second "Broadcasts for Western countries", and the third
"Broadcasts for Arab countries". In 1956, broadcasts in Czech and Serbo-
Croatian (often listed as Croatian in schedules) were added to the first
group,followed by Belarusian and Albanian in 1959. Finally, Macedonian was
introduced in 1962, though broadcasts in that language lasted only two
years.

According to the WRTH Handbook, between 1947 and 1949, broadcasts in all
languages consisted of news, music, press commentary, and talks. Programs
in all languages except Russian opened with the Spanish military march
"Cabalgata Militar" (used as an intro until the end of 1975), while Rus-
sian-language broadcasts began with the polonaise from Tchaikovsky's opera
'Eugene Onegin'. The duration of the daily Russian broadcast remained re-
latively constant at 25-30 minutes, though it ran for 40 minutes between
1948 and 1950 and was reduced to 15 minutes in 1960. There were no Russian
broadcasts in 1959. By 1961, there were three daily 30-minute broadcasts;
this increased to six in 1962-63, and there were five broadcasts per day
in 1964-65. Russian-language broadcasting ceased in 1965.

The total daily airtime and the number of daily broadcasts for other
languages in this group also varied over the years. For instance, Chinese-
language programming consisted of a single 30-minute broadcast between
1955 and 1960, increasing to two broadcasts daily from 1961 onwards. Bet-
ween 1951 and 1960, there was a single 15-minute Ukrainian-language broad-
cast; this increased to three broadcasts in 1961, three 60-minute broad-
casts in 1965, and three 30-minute broadcasts in 1970. From 1965 onwards,
broadcasting in this group was organized into three repeating blocks
(morning, afternoon, and evening). Between 1970 and 1975, each block last-
ed 3 hours and 15 minutes, comprising 30-minute segments in five languages
and 15-minute segments in three Baltic languages.

By the 1960s, the broadcasts in this group had taken on a propagandistic
and nationalist character-a fact criticized by the US State Department in
internal correspondence during the early 1960s. Furthermore, broadcasts
aimed at the USSR - which characterized Franco's dictatorship as a fascist
regime-were subjected to intense Soviet jamming until the service was dis-
continued in late 1975.

List of language groups based on the duration of RNE broadcasting:

- Polish, Hungarian:            1949-1975 (27 years)
- Slovak:                       1950-1975 (26 years)
- Ukrainian:                    1951-1975 (25 years)
- Serbo-Croatian:               1956-1975 (20 years)
- Russian:                      1946-1965 (18 years; suspended in 1959)
- Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian 1955-1965 and 1970-1975 (16 years)
- Romanian:                     1949-1965 (16 years)
- Czech:                        1956-1970 (14 years)
- Chinese, Bulgarian:           1955-1965 (10 years)
- Belarusian, Albanian:         1959-1965 (6 years)
- Macedonian:                   1962-1964 (2 years)

Broadcasting in two of these languages was subsequently resumed: Russian
after 25 years-on May 7, 1990 (continuing to the present day)-and Chinese
after 60 years, in 2025.

YouTube materials regarding the history of Spanish international broad-
casting are also of interest. Video featuring the "Cabalgata Militar"
intro:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgMwQpiCyII>

Video on the history of RNE's international broadcasting:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbPQ8A8DLqo>

It mentions the launch of the transmission complex in Arganda del Rey in
1944; a 40 kW transmitter there was used to broadcast in Russian, among
other languages. However,the video does not specify the exact date or even
the year when broadcasting in Russian and other languages began, citing
only a general period of 1945-1947.

It recounts the first day of RNE's international service-Sunday, March 15,
1942 (a date commemorated annually on Spanish radio) - when the first
broadcasts directed at France, England,and the USSR went on air. The video
displays a map with these countries highlighted in red. It identifies the
target audience for the broadcasts to the USSR as the Spanish "Blue
Division" (Division Azul), which at the time was participating in the
blockade of Leningrad alongside Hitler's troops. In Russia, the Siege of
Leningrad is recognized as a war crime and an act of genocide.

The video also includes an archival broadcast recording and a list of the
seven languages used by Radio FET (Falange Espanola Tradicionalista) - a
Falangist station based in Valladolid - during the Spanish Civil War
(1936-1939).

Russian is absent from this list, even though Soviet sources mention Fa-
langist broadcasts in Russian during that period. Those broadcasts were
intended for the International Brigades fighting within the Republican
army. This note supplements information previously published in 'RUS-
DX Plus' (issues #950, #1060, and #1140) and incorporates details from
WRTH directories spanning the years 1947-1975.

USA   Re: Dead carrier on USAGM 'Radio Marti' via USAGM Greenville NC-
state bcast center this morning Oct 1.

Hi Pavel, AFAIK they should start at 12.00 UT ?
(Thanks, Mauno Ritola-FIN, Pavel Milanes Costa, wor Oct 1)

Second dead air carrier on the 9805 kHz also, lower than the 9410 kHz one.
Maybe a problem with the audio feed {at USAGM Greenville-NC state site?

The usual 'Radio Marti' morning emision on 9410 kHz was spot on today, but
dead carrier; monitored from 11.40-11.55 UT (07.40-07.55 am Local Cuba
time). See picture of the SDR captures here

Dead air carrier happens at least once a week ?

USA   House Passes Bill to Require AM Radio in New Cars. The day is coming
closer when new passenger vehicles sold in the United States would have to
include AM radio. The "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act" has passed the U.S.
House of Representatives.

It marks a major advance in a multi-year push by broadcasters who have
worried about carmakers removing AMradio reception from vehicles, electric
and otherwise. Broadcasters, Christian organizations and advocates for
older Americans are among those welcoming the vote.

The radio industry has pushed it as a measure to protect public safety,
citing AM radio's role in disseminating information in times of emergency.
The legislation has also been seen as a key bulwark against the further
erosion of radio's place in the dashboard. While it does not mention FM,
many radio leaders feel the bill's passage would help protect FM's role in
the dashboard as well.

To become law the bill would have to pass the Senate and be signed by
President Trump. He has said he supports the measure.

USA   What Is This Program? -- Yoruba ...

I don't have much information about this one, except to say that at this
point it's only scheduled to continue until October 23. It is currently
daily 07.00-08.00 UTC (only). I'm not aware of any email address for the
program, unless they are announcing one in the program.

Yoruba to Weast Africa. What Is This Program ?
While playing back a recording of WRMI on 15770 kHz last Monday, 5 Oct,
I heard a program in the Yoruba language. Couldn't see it on the WRMI
schedule (big surprise). AI translated the first bit of the recording as:

"The Democratic Republic of the Yoruba".
"Work is the antidote to poverty" along with the progressive ideology. The
salary structure for workers in the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba:
workers will be receiving their salary payments every two weeks bi-weekly.

The working days for public/civil servants in the Democratic Republic of
the Yoruba: four days, from Monday through Thursday. The working days for
private sector workers in the Democratic Republic of the Yoruba: six days,
from Monday through Saturday.

Annual vacation for public / civil servants in the Democratic Republic of
the Yoruba: this is compulsory every year, and workers will receive their
full regular salary during this vacation period.

What is this program and who produces it?

"This is the Yoruba Democratic Republic (DRY).

The general public, and in particular the Indigenous Yoruba People of the
Democratic Republic of Yoruba (IYP of the DRY), are hereby informed that
the Democratic Republic of Yoruba is a sovereign state, a sovereign coun-
try, and a sovereign nation—and is not part of Nigeria or any colonial,
illegal, deceptive construct.

The Indigenous Yoruba People (IYP) and our sovereign territory, the De-
mocratic Republic of Yoruba (DRY), seceded from Nigeria on November 20,
2022, through a unilateral declaration of independence (UDI), while the
proclamation of the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of Yoruba took
place on April 12, 2024.

The Democratic Republic of Yoruba comprises the following states:
The State of Orel (formerly Ekiti), with its capital at Ikere.
The State of Adanre (formerly Ondo), with Ondo as its capital.
The State of Irigbigi (formerly Osun), with Irigbigi as its capital.
The State of Ibadan (formerly Oyo), with Ibadan as its capital,
which is also the capital of the Democratic Republic of Yoruba.
The State of Eko (formerly Lagos), with Ikeja as its capital.
The State of Olumo (formerly Ogun), with Abeokuta as its capital.
The State of Atunbi-Ogo-Oyo (formerly Kwara and the part of Kogi extending
to the Niger River), with Jebba as its capital.

All political, economic, and other ties to the Federal Republic of Nigeria
are completely severed. All borders, checkpoints, barracks, airports, sea-
ports, etc., are to be taken over by the Homeland Security Team of the
Indigenous Yoruba People (IYP).

Members of the public in the Yoruba Democratic Republic are hereby in-
structed to take note that they are no longer on Nigerian territory.
Foreigners must respect all matters pertaining to the sovereignty of the
YDR. Leadership rests with Her Excellency Modupe Onitiri-Abiola".

New Klingenfuss products for 2027: continued strong solar activity !

Dear friends,
after an exceptionally strong solar cycle peak, propagation conditions
are still very good, allowing excellent reception of e.g. HFDL stations
on 21 MHz - see our hotfrequencies webpage updated daily.
What's more, we've monitored hundreds of new military frequencies ...

We're now working on our new products
- 2027/2028 Guide to Utility Radio Stations
- 2027      Shortwave Frequency Guide
- 2027      Super Frequency List on CD
- 2027      Frequency Database for the Perseus SDR

to be published on 10 December 2026.

Full-resolution title page graphics can be found at
<www.klingenfuss.org/g_2027.gif>  and
<www.klingenfuss.org/g_2027.pdf>
<www.klingenfuss.org/r_2027.jpg>  and
<www.klingenfuss.org/r_2027.pdf>
<www.klingenfuss.org/s_2027.gif>  and
<www.klingenfuss.org/s_2027.pdf>

Just for the record, these are not stupid compilations by "Artificial
Intelligence", but the results of daily (and "nightly" ...) real radio
monitoring and decoding.

If you are able to supply additional new frequencies and stations, your
cooperation would be highly appreciated.
Please let us have your data by 20 October 2026.

The continuously updated product Digital Data Decoder Screenshots on USB
Stick now covers more than 30,000 (thirty thousand!) screenshots from 1997
to today. Feed your PC or Tablet with this data, and the "slide show" will
keep you busy for a few days - or weeks!

More than 800 (eight hundred!) selected new digital data decoder screen-
shots will be published on our 2027 Super Frequency List on CD.

Latest references (full list at  <www.klingenfuss.org/ref.htm> ).

Best wishes, Joerg Klingenfuss
