UNID: Radio Ethiopia?
« on: January 27, 2014, 0220 UTC »
7237.1v   UNIDENTIFIED. Believed to be R. Ethiopia - Geja Jewe. Hoping to hear the English service when first tuned in around 1635, but coped an almighty het on this freq from CRI's English service on 7235. Using the USB mode, I noted fragments of piano music around 1640, but it was too hard, especially with the added interference from RA-Shepp and Riyadh also on 7240. Came back to it at 1656 after CRI had s/off, but needed to retune down to 7236.9 - it seemed to have moved 20 Hz in 20 min - impressive! Definitely something there by retuning in LSB mode but still too hard with the 7240 kHz QRM spoiling the fun. Plenty of carrier but the audio was just not making it through the hash consistently enough for good copy on Jan 24.

I've also listed a number of other loggings as noted on Jan 24. Sorry to be a bit slow getting around to posting this. Things have been a hectic over the last 48 hours. New logs are all listed on the Mount Evelyn DX Report blog under EARLY MORNING DX, which can be found at:
