DJIBOUTI / Horn of Africa USAGM VOA Djibouti relay MW 1431 kHz. The
programme reports on the unconfirmed possible reactivation of the powerful
VOA medium-wave relay in Djibouti Doraleh location on 1431 kHz. The sta-
tion was established under a 2002 US-Djibouti agreement and originally
carried 'Radio Sawa'.
The 1431 kHz service later carried VOA programming in English, French and
Somali. The report says that rumours of a return have emerged following
the suspension of US Agency for Global Media activities from Djibouti.
The transmitter is described as having a power of 600 kW, potentially mak-
ing it audible over large parts of Europe at night.

ECUADOR 6050 kHz on Sept 17 at 06.37 UT, S9 music, presumably HCJB ex-

I wonder if the two Christian stations cooerdinate frequency usage.

GERMANY Die erste DX-Sendung von Radio HCJB gibt es am Samstag um 04:30
UTC auf 3995 und 5920 kHz {via Weenermoor northern Germany, ed}. Doch die
5920kHz wird zu dieser Sendezeit weiterhin durch eine Fremdsprachensendung
gestoert.
Wir schlagen einen Frequenzwechsel auf eine unbelegte freie Frequenz etwas
unterhalb von 5920 kHz vor. Zu einigen Sendezeiten gibt es auch eine
fremd-sprachige Station auf 5930 kHz, so dass es auch dort zu Stoerungen
kommen kann.

GUINEA/FRANCE BBC Monitoring: 'France 24' prohibited in Guinea, WeAF.
At least yesterday the satellite distribution of 'Canal+ Afrique' repor-
tedly still carried 'France 24'.
<https://www.lyngsat.com/muxes/SES-4_West-Africa_12730-V.html>
Which of course does not say much - removing access for decoders of custo-
mers in Guinea should be as easy as taking it off the IP platform they
now present as their primary means of distribution - yes, in West Africa.
And again of course it would be interesting to hear what's going on in
practice and how difficult it has become to use the own France 24 distri-
bution in Guinea now. Apart from those who are really determined to watch
it - like I just did with certain material that has an italic 1 as corner
logo ...

(via Kai Ludwig-D, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Sept 25)
Not that far-fetched ...
The only satellite mention in the article concerns 'France24' carriage via
Canal Plus, which is a subscription TV bouquet package subject to govern-
mental regulation. "The Canal+ package distributor must cut the signal im-
mediately," the government said. Canal Plus subscribers get an addressable
decoder box. I can't tell if the service is delivered to customers via the
internet or from individual satellite dishes. I suspect it's the former.
There is one Ku-band satellite receivable in Guinea (SES-5) that offers
'France 24' free to air:
<https://www.lyngsat.com/SES-5.html>
The statement doesn't suggest that the government will attempt to block
that signal.
I don't know the effectiveness of any internet blocking that may be impos-
ed by the Guinean government.
The article below provides a little more info and background and mentions
the regulatory framework that affects international broadcasters.

At 13.00 UT, "Shiokaze" was audible on 6165 and 7295 kHz via KDDI national
telecommunication provider at Koga-Ibaragi-Yamata JP site. The signal on
6165 kHz was difficult to hear because of strong co-channel interference
from CNR6. The program was the same as yesterday.
First, a radio documentary titled "Shortwave Radio, Northward, Northward",
produced by the Broadcasting Club of Toyama Prefectural Takaoka High
School, was broadcast. The production won first prize nationwide in the
Radio Documentary category of the 73rd NHK Cup National High School
Broadcasting Contest. It is a radio documentary that also incorporates
recordings from the time when the broadcasts originally began. The program
can be heard on the NHK website:

This is 'Shio no Kaze'. Through this broadcast I am making an appeal to
all the abductee victims of North Korea in Tokyo and to all those who have
crossed into North Korea for various reasons and can no longer return.
This programme is broadcast every day from 11:30 to 12:00 by the Specific
Missing Persons Problem Investigation Committee, a private organisation in
Japan, with the support of many people, on shortwave frequency 5895 MHz.
This is the director of the Specific Missing Persons Problem Investigation
Committee who produces and broadcasts the shortwave radio 'Shio no Kaze',
Mr. Takuji Murao. ... The voices of this family were broadcast on short-
wave radio to North Korea. Even in the internet age, why shortwave radio ?
In North Korea, where the internet cannot be used freely, people still
listen to overseas information on radio. NHK and 'Shio no Kaze' are the
only ones given a frequency by Japan to broadcast from Japan to the world.
Only shortwave radio that can be received at long distance can broadcast
to North Korea. There is no other way for Japan to send waves overseas.
Regarding reception conditions in North Korea:
It is said that about three million radios are in use in North Korea.
Basically,they all tune in together to hear what Kim Jong-un says and
what not. That is the radio for that purpose. Many people use just one
radio for the whole group.
In North Korea, to prevent the flow of information, radio frequencies are
strictly fixed. People risk their lives to modify these fixed frequencies
and listen to foreign broadcasts as a source of hope. However, since 2006,
North Korea has begun to jam radio broadcasts. This is actually very happy
news. If there were no abductee victims, there would be no need to jam.
As the first step of our own activities, we made an appeal on the short-
wave radio 'Shio no Kaze' in June 2026. To the Japanese citizens in North
Korea and to all those with ties to Japan, this is the broadcasting club
of Takaoka High School in Toyama Prefecture. We young people are certainly
aware of your presence.
Your hometown is still here. Until the day you step on Japanese soil, we
will never forget and will continue to call out.From the broadcasting room
of a high school in ToyamaPrefecture, we are sending our prayers and wait-
ing. Production was by the Takaoka High School Broadcasting Club.

Uebersetzung nun anbei ...
Stasi hat rund 600 Dokumente abgefangen: Briefe, die aus der DDR an
Radio Luxemburg geschickt wurden, sind wieder aufgetaucht.
Ein einzigartiges Stueck deutsch-deutscher Zeitgeschichte kehrt zurueck.
Die Staatssicherheit der DDR hat harmlosen Briefverkehr von Hoerern abge-
fangen. Ein grosses Gedenk- und Erinnerungsprojekt ist fuer April 2027
geplant.
Das Radio ist das Medium, das seit seiner Entstehung immer wieder Grenzen
ueberwunden und den Menschen ein Stueck Meinungsfreiheit gegeben hat. In
diesem Zusammenhang ist jetzt ein aussergewoehnliches Stuck Zeitgeschichte
wieder ans Licht gekommen:
Im Rahmen historischer Recherchen wurden rund 600 Briefe, Postkarten und
Umschlaege wiedergefunden, die vor mehr als 40 Jahren von Menschen aus der
DDR an Radio Luxemburg geschickt worden waren, aber nie dort angekommen
sind. Die Briefe wurden naemlich systematisch von Mitarbeitern der DDR-
Staatssicherheit (Stasi - Geheimdienst) abgefangen und beschlagnahmt.
Fuer viele Menschen in der DDR - vor allem im sogenannten "Tal der Ah-
nungslosen" rund um Dresden im heutigen Bundesland Sachsen, wo west-
deutsche Fernsehsender kaum empfangbar waren - war Radio Luxemburg ein
Fenster in die freie Welt. Die deutschen Radiowellen mit Moderatoren wie
Camillo Felgen und Frank Elstner brachten ein Gefuehl von Freiheit,
Leichtigkeit und Individualitaet in den beschwerlichen Alltag Ostdeutsch-
lands.
Die Dokumente, die nach Recherchen des Zeitzeugen Michael Teupel aufge-
taucht sind, zeigen aus der Sicht ganz normaler Menschen, wie wichtig
dieser Kontakt nach draussen fuer sie war. Bei den von der Stasi abge-
fangenen Briefen handelt es sich um voellig unpolitische Schreiben:
Die Hoerer nannten ihre Wunschlieder, stimmten fuer die Hitparade ab,
fragten nach Autogrammadressen ihrer Lieblingsstars oder bedankten sich
einfach fuer das Programm.
"Diese Briefe machen ein Stueck DDR-Alltagsgeschichte wieder erlebbar",
erklaert der Kurator Michael Teupel, der den Fund im Rahmen einer Ver-
anstaltung auswertet. "Hinter jedem einzelnen Brief steht ein Mensch, der
in einem Staat gelebt hat, in dem die Medien stark kontrolliert wurden.
Diese Postkarten zeigen einen ganz menschlichen Wunsch: an einer anderen
Welt teilzuhaben und dabei auch selbst gehoert zu werden.
"Wie gefaehrlich der Kontakt zu westlichen Radiosendern in der DDR sein
konnte, zeigt auch die historische Bedeutung des Fundes. Ein bekannter
Fall aus der Lutherstadt Eisleben im heutigen Sachsen-Anhalt dokumentiert,
dass allein ein Musikwunsch im Radio zu einer Vernehmung durch die Stasi,
zum Ausschluss vom Abitur und sogar zu Gefaengnisstrafen fuehren konnte.
Als Radio Luxemburg damals von solchen Verhaftungen erfuhr, riet Frank
Elstner dazu, die Namen der DDR-Hoerer nicht mehr oeffentlich im Radio zu
nennen.
Jetzt, mehr als vier Jahrzehnte spaeter, kehren die abgefangenen Stimmen
an ihren Bestimmungsort bei RTL Luxemburg zurueck.
Fuer den 13. April 2027 ist unter dem Titel
"Verbotene Wellen - Radio Luxemburg in der DDR" auch eine Podiumsdiskus-
sion in der City Bibliothek in der Stadt Luxemburg geplant. Zusammen mit
der Forscherin Dr. Dominique Santana (Kuratorin der Ausstellung "Ghosts
of the Villa") wird Michael Teupel einige der nun gefundenen Briefe der
Oeffentlichkeit vorstellen.

ing "RNZ News at 7" w/lead item about the ACT Party's plan to target and
deport 'over- stayers' in NZ. I guess it's a 'right wing' thing every-
where!
Other items were about financial issues with a wildlife reserve,and comme-
morations of the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks in the USA including
an additional moment of silence for those who have died in the interim as
a result of injuries sustained.
Also an item about new details about the cargo plane crash in Miami and a
motorcyclist in Invercargill who died in a crash. At :05 programming pre-
view and into weather from MetService, and at :07 into "Country Life" with
a feature about beef fat as a 'skin care' product. Well, the BEGINNING of
that item.
At :09 abruptly into "Pacific Waves" dashing my hopes that I'd get to hear
my favourite show. Today's Pacific programming included stories about Pa-
cific Island nations support for Israel and an embassy opening ceremony
there.
Other items were about vandalism of a cemetery in The Cook Islands, do-
mestic violence programmes in NZ and Cook Islands school children learning
about marine preservation in a new science lesson plan. At :25 into
"Melanesian update" with Vanuatu Nightly News in En. YL ancr w/items about

Thus, 11645 kHz from ENC A'Seela Oman replaces 13825 kHz for rest of A26

ChatGPT: The 11645 kHz signal actually originates from the BBC via
A'Seela-Oman — specifically from the Al-Seela transmitter site in Oman.
This has now been officially confirmed for the current A-26 schedule:
11645 kHz, 2200-2400 UTC, BBC World Service, English
Target area: South- / Southeast Asia (ITU zones 51W, 54)
Transmitter location in A-26 HFCC entry: Dhabayya?, Oman 250 kW, azimuth
100 degr. {? _ ChatGPT sic, rather SLA 250kW 105degr. ed.}.
Valid from 22 September 2026 to 25 Oct 2026
This makes your initial objection interesting: 11645 kHz is not simply
an old B-25 entry that was accidentally left in the EiBi list. The
frequency is indeed active again for A-26, though apparently starting on
22 September 2026—meaning it begins prior to the actual seasonal
changeover on 25 October.

PHILIPPINES FEBC Philippines - end of shortwave operations ?
FEBC (Far East Broadcasting Company) is reported to be planning the clo-
sure of its historic Philippine shortwave facilities at Bocaue and Iba in
March 2027.
The decision is attributed to the high cost of operating powerful short-
wave transmitters and the growing importance of digital platforms, apps
and podcasts.
FEBC's Philippine broadcasting history dates back to 1945-48, with the
first major shortwave expansion beginning after World War II.
Bocaue became the principal site, with Iba later added. The modernised
Bocaue facility eventually served more than 40 Asian languages.
The report stresses that the information about the March 2027 closure
comes from an internal technical notice rather than an official public
announcement, and that the future of the programmes themselves has not yet
been officially stated.

RUSSIA/USSR history The legendary Soviet Army field telephone: the TA-57.
The TA-57 is a portable field telephone adopted by the Soviet Army in 1957
It was developed to replace the TAI-43 model, which had itself been based
on the captured German FF-33 field telephone. Production began at the Perm
Telephone Plant (now"Telta"). The device remains in production to this day
and is in service with the armies of several nations. The abbreviation
stands for "Telephone Apparatus, Model 1957." Among the troops, it acquir-
ed various informal nicknames, such as "tapik," "tapsik," and "tapok."

SOMALIA Re: Somalia (7750 kHz USB_mode) with BBC news/programming in En
7750 USB_mode 'Radio Warsan', from 18.17 UT till suddenly off at 18.32*UT,
Sept 15, heard via Kiwi SDR remote at Voi, Kenya; non-stop indigenous mu-
sic; 18.30 UT, with brief "Radio Warsan" ID. Broadcasts in AM / USB_mode.
I have monitored the frequency many times since 2025, via various remotes,
but believe I was often making a significant mistake. I think my problem
with reception in the past was I was inadvertently listening in LSB_mode,
with no results. In fact today, that is what happened.
But today I did hear an extremely weak signal in LSB_mode, so weak it was
just an UNID station. Later I happened to switch to SAM reception and had
good reception and found USB:mode to be equally good. I had forgotten that
in my 2025 log, I indicated USB_mode reception. An embarrassing error !

SUDAN Sudan News Agency: Al-Eisir Launches Resumption of Khartoum
International Channel Broadcasts.

Al-Eisir Launches Resumption of Khartoum International Channel Broadcasts
Khartoum, (_S_U_N_A_) Minister of Culture, Information, Antiquities and
Tourism Khalid Al-Eisir on Sunday launched the resumption of broadcasts by
Khartoum International Channel at its headquarters in Omdurman, in the
presence of ministry officials, media and security officials, and repre-
sentatives of local and foreign television channels.
Al-Eisir described the reopening and resumption of satellite broadcasts as
a historic moment, highlighting the channel's role in shaping public opi-
nion and noting its large audience base. He commended the Armed Forces,
police, General Intelligence Service, supporting forces and ministry staff
for their roles during the war,which he said was intended to erase Sudan's
national memory and identity.
He stressed that the return of life to Khartoum,despite limited resources,
reflects the resilience of the Sudanese people and their deep-rooted
history. He also announced plans to rehabilitate the ministry's institu-
tions across its four sectors and said the next phase would focus on
building constructive partnerships with journalists and reopening additio-
nal institutions.
Chairman of the channel's Board of Directors Ibrahim Al-Bazai described
the resumption as a reaffirmation of Sudanese cultural identity, announc-
ing plans to expand the channel horizontally and vertically through the
launch of a cultural channel. He also affirmed the channel's readiness to
provide terrestrial broadcasting services for state-owned satellite chan-
nels and help strengthen radio broadcasting.
For his part, Director-General of the channel Dr.Badr-Eddin Mahmoud thank-
ed all parties that contributed to the channel's return, particularly the
Board of Directors and staff who continued working after the liberation of
Khartoum until broadcasts were gradually restored.

SWITZERLAND The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG SSR) plans to re-
sume broadcasting its radio programs on FM radio. This has been known
since the end of last year. It could be possible from July 1st. However,
the public broadcaster anticipates reactivating the first FM transmit-
ters only "during the third quarter of 2026."
... SRG wants to wait and see how the reactivation of the FM transmitters
is received by listeners. The expansion phases no longer correspond to the
current planning status, the SRG told SonntagsBlick. The umbrella organi-
zation of public broadcasters in Switzerland declined to comment on the
current plans. However, the SRG will return to FM with its programs "as
soon as possible." Several issues still need to be clarified, such as the
granting of a new broadcasting license. There are also contractual and
technical aspects to consider.

Bakom grants SRG an FM Broadcasting License.
SRG can return to FM with its radio programs. The Federal Office of Com-
munications (Bakom) granted the Swiss broadcaster the corresponding
broadcasting license on September 18. Following the phase-out at the turn
of 2024/25, SRG plans to once again provide widespread coverage across
Switzerland via the analog FM band, offering three programs in each
language region.
The FM transmitters are scheduled to resume operations in the fall. The
phase-out of FM had led to significant losses in listeners in some cases.
The parliamentary decision of December 9, 2025, laid the groundwork for
the continuation of FM broadcasting and mandated BAKOM to reissue the FM
broadcasting licenses. The new FM broadcasting licenses are valid through
December 31, 2034.

naged by a Japanese DXer, the Voice of America (VOA) is expected to offi-
cially resume operations at its UdonThani transmitting station in Thailand
starting from the B26 season.
The post states that the broadcast schedule is anticipated to cover more
than 10 languages, including English, Korean, Tibetan, and Chinese.
Additionally, Radio Thailand World Service(HSK9) currently plans to broad-
cast only its English program. However, since the post does not specify

"Booming into Masset-BC-CAN at 03.22 on Sept 14, so must be at 250 or
500 kW with religious programming. Not sure whether it's from the flat
earth people or not ... Yep, it's WLC Radio. Reception is down a bit by
04.00 UT.
(Walt Volodja Salmaniw-Masset-BC-CAN / Kodiak Island, wor & hcdx Sept 14)"
9330 kHz, UT Mon Sept 14 at 00.41 UT, English S=9+20dB, presumed WBCQ. Re-
check at 01.34 UT, dramatic dialog, unsounds like WLCR. Indeed, it's same
as WBCQ on 7490 kHz, but running about 7 seconds behind 7490 kHz ! Un-
reliable websked shows:
7490 Mo 0100 0230 UTC Sun 09:00PM 10:30PM EST Plain Old Doug Show
7490 Mo 0130 0230 UTC Sun 09:30PM 10:30PM EST The Warning with Tony Lamb
Can't be both at same time! But unsounds like them either.

"I hear nothing on this frequency at 00.33 UT on Monday Sept 14. I wonder
if just activating the frequency for a certain time period protects the
FCC license in some way. John Figliozzi, Halfmoon, NY state"
[like for AM & FM - gh]
"I haven't asked anyone at the station, but I know that transmitters have
something in common with accordions - letting one sit totall Yidle for too
long isn't necessarily good for it. Bill Tilford"
"Today I sent an enquiry to Lee Houser of WLC radio together with a couple
of reports via their online form. Reception was poor here at 06:00 and
after 09:00, with only about S-5 on my meter with moderate fading. Here is
his reply:
"The WLC Radio broadcast is still not up and running 100 %.
Allan Wiener is currently broadcasting with a backup transmitter, reduced
power, and an Ampegon antenna pointed at 245 degrees. It's wonderful to
hear that you were still able to pick up the signal, even if it was less
than optimal. Thank you for letting me know about the e-QSL service bug.
We'll resolve this as quickly as we are able."
The 50 kW txs at WBCQ are probably permanently routed to existing antennas
(rhombic horizontals?) so maybe they have hooked up another small tx to
the Ampegon instead. Obviously the 500 kW unit needs some work to be
done on it before it is operational.

Re: 9330 kHz is back, WBCQ WLCR ?
Sorry for being late to the party but I wanted to report an update on the
good reception (and recording) of 9330 kHz using the Uni Enschede-Twente
remote Kiwi_SDR receiver on 13 September from about 23:13 UT for about an
hour and five minutes, when I ended my recording.
A WLC program was in progress with a full and long ID starting at about
23:48 UT explicitly mentioning SW transmission and plugging its website.
Another ID by WLC specifically mentioned WBCQ just before 24:00 UT. At
24:00 UT another full WBCQ ID:
"... from the land of freedom, this is WBCQ..." Then the gardening program
"White Mountain Garden Talk" started. Never heard that program before. The
show was about building a home from scratch!

w/"Warsaw Review" a 'weekly rundown' of news and events in Poland, includ-
ing the recent spate of military action in the Ukraine war and risk to
nearby Poland territory, the jet powered drone, etc. emphasizing how these
attacks are literally 'knocking on the EU's door'.
Also a report about the 87th anniversary of the 1939 invasion of Poland by
the USSR after the Nazi invasion in the western part of Poland and the
current attempts to invite a 'permanent' US military presence in Poland
and make the country central to NATO/EU defense and the concept of a
'special relationship' between Canada and the EU. Also mention of a US
Nobel prize winner who was recently awarded dual Polish citizenship and
the increase in interest of ethnic Polish people to reconnecting to their
roots.

getting better:
At ToH a non-bored OM WINB ID and into Chuck Crismier "Viewpoint" with
his rant about 'moral decline' in society and his assertion that we're
hurting ourselves in the light of the hung jury in the Lindsay Clancy
murder trial and how he somehow thinks Darwin's theory of evolution has
led to a change in how law works. I'm getting mental whiplash just writ-
ing that sentence !
At first, 35342+ just weak, but the noise 'blob' far away. By 23.45 UT it
was better and by 23.53 UT up to 4+54+4+4+. Not sure why the great impro-
