** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, June 26 at 2300 on caradio, R. Tirana via WRMI, music show first with ME sounds, mentions Ramadan, then quite a variety of presumed Albanian music. 2328 closing and a sesquiminute of IS before WRMI canned ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BENIN. 1566, June 26 at 0507, JBA carrier on the R75; at 0512 not on the NRD-545 or DX-398, but by 0515 detectable on the NRD, presumed TWR Parakou. Nick Hall-Patch in BC and Don Moman in Alberta were hearing this again last night with some audio, also suggesting 1296 Sudan, which is 600 kW further east so fading out earlier; not here. June 27 at quick 0311 check, no 1566 audible --- oops, that`s too early, before nominal *0315 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 5005.0, June 26 at 0518, JBA carrier, presumed RNGE Bata, around variable optimum morning sign-on time to hear it. Presumed Angola also JBA carrier on 4949.74, which used to have a better signal, June 26 at 0519. Maybe too much of their winter signal is getting absorbed in our summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [and non]. 7150, June 27 at 0306, JBA carrier and no jamming; 7180 JBA carrier almost buried by DRM noise jamming extending out to 7172-7188, i.e. Ethiopia vs V of Broad Masses of Eritrea`s two programs recently reactivated in the 40m hamband. Wolfgang Büschel had reported these two frequencies earlier in the Eurevenig to IARU Intruder Watch. But no signal now between 7230 and 7240 for Radio Ethiopia. Sudan, however has an S9+20 bigsig of dead air on 7205 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
