0518 YL speaking about freedom of speech
0519 Voice of Pancho Villa mentioned
0522 YL telling story with many bleeps
0522 "Pancho had Covid again. Pancho had a strange dreeeeeam" into "Stuck in the Middle With You" Stealers Wheel

SIO 343 with 444 peaks

0528 voiceofpanchovilla at yahoo dot com followed by VOPV interval music
0529 OM voice and sound effect, "Hello all you listeners"
0530 techno music, Mix Radio ID
0532 "Saturday Love" Cherrelle with MRI ID over it then QRT

Pretty rough copy, and possible long- and short-path rx as it sounds slightly echoey. SIO 111. ID based on schedules, as this should be on this frequency 2230-2300z. What speech I can hear sounds more English than Japanese, which is what's listed on Eibi, but I can't actually make out any intelligible words so who knows.

I had been on uTwente double checking that a faint signal I heard was or wasn't Zanzibar on 11735 (it wasn't, it was BBC in Pashto via Kranji - I really miss Zanzibar, which is still listed as active but I sincerely doubt is true). After BBC signed off I saw this big signal (it's local rx quality at uTwente SDR) and found it's VOV in English. News of Vietnamese rescue workers in Turkey being recognized. (Side note, the internet tells me they were just hit with a 6.3 magnitude earthquake earlier today - nothing mentioned in this news, which I assume is prerecorded.) Tx from Hanoi.

Noisy signal today, SIO 111. No trace of RFA which is the target of this jamming.

Clandestine Stations / Radio ERISAT, 11690 kHz, 20 FEB 2023, 1818 UTC

Weak but copyable, Talata-Volonondry tx, mostly spoken word (OM announcer) but occasional African music. In Tigrinya, so presumably intended for Eritrea and Ethiopia. SIO 122.

Fairly good signal, SIO 344. This is a half-hour long transmission beamed to East Africa from Santa Maria di Galeria, which sadly contrasts with the one-time 15 minute broadcast that used to be on 19m at this time and frequency a few years ago. That one was a neat world news digest which was very high quality*, while the half hour programs are religiously oriented and are of less interest to me. Though I can tolerate this better than undead Brother Stair, hi hi.

* If it was a slow news day, they'd lead off with something about the Pope, always some activity of little importance but a good way of letting the world know that things were OK for the time being.

I had to wait until 1630 to be sure that this wasn't Radio Algierienne, which is supposed to be on this frequency at this time but continuously 0600-2400 whereas this Issoudun-broadcast clandestine in Somali airs just 1600-1630. But it had music, talk, and went off the air at 1630 without anything underneath so I will take that as confirmation. I've never heard of this station before, just found it scanning 19m. Very good SIO 455 signal while I was tuned in.

98
Romanian language tx to Western Europe, not a strong signal but low noise and good prop allowing for what sounds like an 80s-style rock song coming across with the very-rare-to-report SIO of 253.

Very strong SIO 555 signal this morning (8:15 locally) with male speakers in interview format. Sudanese Arabic per online schedules, and Sant Maria di Galeria (Vatican City) tx.
1524 copied the English word "mobilization" in the otherwise Arabic speech

Very good signal. Partial rx: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkCG2oA0hn8

Very, VERY faint music peaking up at the noise level occasionally.
2237 haven't heard anything for about five minutes now. Glad for the little bit that I got.

I started listening at 2000 and had absolutely nothing here in Michigan.  I checked back an hour later and had a very faint USB signal just slightly below the nominal frequency.  It sounds better on 15475.950.   The signal has been getting gradually stronger and it's now 2349 UTC and it's quite listenable here with nice music, occasional IDs and announcements.

Awesome.

2255 Trying to copy again, there may be something but it's possibly just wishful thinking. Unlike earlier, when I definitely had audio.

2310 hearing it again for real, just a bit stronger than it was the first time. Thanks for the tip about the fine tuning.
2314 faint OM voice
2331 music, so definitely not off the air. Looks like 15475.96 is the best frequency for me
2339 now it seems to be QRT. Nothing heard for a minute.

2358 seems to be back. Thanks to myteaquinn who posted that on the HFU discord.

Copied on VR2KJ kiwi sdr in Hong Kong. I was looking for VC01 (The Chinese Robot) at 4452 USB and found that, but also this. This is a South Korean tx aimed at North Korea that's jammed, and the jammer is audible in VC01's signal. China perhaps should have chosen to go just a couple of kHz higher in the band with this one this month. Korean talk copyable under the jammer but it's probably hard to understand if you know the language.

104
Very rough copy, SIO 111, but copyable enough. This may be my first real catch of BBC from this tx site.

105
0342 found this randomly scanning the bands, playing "Flashdance - What a Feeling" Irene Cara, SIO 222
0345 possible station ID but I couldn't make it out. More music, something from The Phantom of the Opera.

The signal's pretty wide, so this may be Mix Radio. It also has that bit on the LSB side. Pretty characteristic signal.

0354 "Blue Bayou" Linda Ronstadt
...  Thanks to Markokpik and MTQ for picking up the ID ...
0431 back to listening, hearing the tail end of Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street"
0432 probable ID, but still too rough for me to pick it out myself. Into "Dreams" Fleetwood Mac
0441 "Breakfast in America" Supertramp

Still broadcasting as of 0530z.
0533 seems to have gone off the air
