Clandestine Stations / Re: Koki Media/Yoruba Nation (tentative) 9890 kHz AM 21:50 UTC 13 June 2021

« on: June 15, 2021, 1717 UTC »

I also posted about this station in the SWBC forum. I first heard it on 12 June 2021 and have logged  it since. I've since noticed that the SWL community is picking up on it. I also initially thought it to be a religious broadcaster, but apparently it is in support of a Yourba independence movement in Nigeria.

Glen Hauser's bulletin appears to have the most information about the broadcasts. Apparently it is Radio Yoruba broadcasting via Woofferton on 9890 kHz. See http://www.hard-core-dx.com/article.php?story=20210614181502456&mode=print

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: UnID 9890 kHz AM 22:15 UTC 12 June 2021

Ron - Calif.

I looked at the Koiki Media page, but I don't see any mention of a shortwave broadcast on 9890 kHz. Just various Internet platforms.

I have found that other SWL sites are picking up on this station. Glen Hauser's report for 13-14 June 2021 states it is Radio Yoruba, transmits from Woofferton and was launched on 6 June. It is in support of a Yourba independence movement.

I must say that in all the years I've been DXing I've never before been in on the ground floor of a new service like this. Now, the question is, do they QSL?
