[HCDX] Logs from NH: African Clandestines

["Scott R. Barbour Jr." <srbjrswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

5500, CLANDESTINE/ETHIOPIA, VO Tigray Revolution,
0421-0436, Nov.24, Ahmaric?, Didn't think to check for
this parallel of 6350 until later! Presumed interview
with a YL speaking briefly on a few occasions followed
by an OM with long talks. Vocal music at tune-out.
Fair at t/in, beggining to fade-out around 0430, much
better copy than 6350. (Barbour-NH)

6350, CLANDESTINE/ETHIOPIA, Vo Peace and Democracy,
0338-0351*, Nov.24, Ahmaric?, long talk at t/in, Horn
of Africa music at 0348, brief talk and more mx. Weak
talks at 0350 with "echo" vocal effects (presumed ID).
Fair/poor, surprisingly decent signal poking through
noise floor. (Barbour-NH)

6350, CLANDESTINE/EHTIOPIA, VO Tigray Revolution,
*0356-0410, Nov.24, Ahmaric?, Horn of Africa music
until 0400, OM w/ talk and musical jingles, different
OM w/ fast-paced talks, back to original OM w/ long
talk. Fair/poor, starting to deteriorate under QRN
before tune-out. (Barbour-NH)

7380, CLANDESTINE/NIGERIA, Vo Biafra Int'l,
*2100-2113, Nov.22, English, Sign-on w/ music and
familiar ID "You are listening to Voice of Biafra
International coming to you from Washington, D.C.
transmitting on frequency 7380 in the 41 meter band,
Please stay tuned for the entire hour". This was
repeated 3 times with instrumental music betweeen IDs.
A male speaker was noted with a passionate talk
regarding corruption and "liberty and justice in our
land". Fair/good. (Barbour-NH)

17810, CLANDESTINE/UGANDA, R.Rhino Int'l, 1527-1558*,
Nov.22, English, End of interview followed by ID, "You
are listening to Radio Rhino International, short wave
radio Africa" w/ a request for e-mails ( no address
given), phone numbers for Germany and web address
www.radiorhino.org. 2 telephone interviews followed,
one with UPDA spokesman regarding Ugandan rebels and
war crimes, the second with an ANRA? representative
who sounded rather aggravated at some of the questions
asked, such as "what do you plan to do after you
remove the gov't" and especially "allegations of
commiting atrocities". Interesting listening.
Interview cut-off for brief mx jingle at 1558*.
Fair/poor with static and fades. (Barbour-NH)

Between 0410 and 0420 I had announcers with weak talks
on both 7100, VO the Broad Masses, Eritrea and 6940,
Radio Fana, Ethiopia. I intend to try for better
reception tonight at 0300 sign-on.
