Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Heads up Radio Mali

Reports of normalcy returning to the broadcasts though with weaker signals.
Also, Bamako relays appear to be unaffected.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Heads up Radio Mali

« on: August 20, 2020, 1653 UTC »

I've been tuned in to 5995 since a bit before 0600 UTC, using LSB due to the presence of Habana on 6000 (which seems gone as of 0637z, guess I can go back to AM mode). It's just been music. Low audio level per usual but clear. I enjoy this station when I stay up late (it's past midnight in my time zone) because it's usually a music program. You'd never have any idea Mali was in any turmoil listening to this.

Kind of like the old Soviet Union TV - when the sh*t hit the fan they would play non stop music......that's how you knew something was going down.

Reports from 0600z broadcast - sign on, no interval signal, no FF ID, no FF announcements just non stop African Music.
The situation may affect CRI relay via Bamako.
Thx for the feedback, gents.  Keep an ear on this as it may get interesting.

Shortwave Broadcast / Heads up Radio Mali

« on: August 19, 2020, 0230 UTC »

Maybe some interesting listening on 5995khz - I think they come back on at 0600z "if they do come back at all" - there are yet unconfirmed reports of a military coup in Mali - one logger has relayed "reports of heavy military presence near the Radio station & the airport "
Note: this is reported yet unconfirmed at 0230z 8.19.2020

Caught a few minutes of Radio Yahweh on 7470 at 0214 UTC August 14 2020, from 43.6N 116.2W. Gone at 0219. Not strong but no interference. Cuckoo for Coco Puffs.

I assume you mean August 15.  Yes?

Huh? / Re: YHWH on strange frequency

« on: August 12, 2020, 2321 UTC »

Hello - last I tried and copied ZBC was 12/26/17 on 11735khz about 2040z - I haven't tried lately but as fall approaches, I will certainly try and let you know.
I have copied YHWH this past season during local days on other than 12000khz but never on 11735khz and I can't imagine why he'd pick that frequency.
Oh well,

Huh? / YHWH on strange frequency

« on: August 11, 2020, 1717 UTC »

I did not log this but saw a log on an email group that someone caught YHWH this past Saturday (8/8) on 11735khz and that he was only audible after Zanzibar BC signed off around 1845z.
I have heard him on 12000khz this summer during (local) days but I have never seen him logged on this frequency.

What is with the large number (and seemingly growing number) of "UNID" pirates lately?  It's one thing if they do ID but copy is poor so the ID can't be confirmed, but many seem to never ID at all.
Doesn't make sense - kind of like posting an anonymous comment on a news website (keyboard tough guy syndrome).  What's the point of broadcasting and risking getting "the knock" if there's no notoriety associated with it.....?
Maybe I'm just old and recall the Pirates of yesteryear who were proud to be well known yet smart enough to not get busted.  Maybe it's the new generation of pirates but it seems pointless to me.
