ALASKA Anomaly: KNLS Anchor Point on variable frequency ~5530 kHz, at
1230 UT on March 21, 2023. I found a signal on 9580 kHz but nothing on
9625 kHz ... usually if I get one, I get them both. Same result on Don
Moman's SDR in Perseus net.

ALGERIA 5900 kHz March 17 at 0633 UT, S=9+20/30dB of Qur'an, certainly
not TOMBS via Bulgaria as has been here. Presumably NF for one of the
Algerian sites {most likely Ourgla towards south-western Sahel / WeAF
target, wb} I vaguely recall they've been on 5900 kHz before, but can't
find a report. Soon YL talk in Arabic before more music. Scan of all bands
upward to 13 MHz does not find another one to make // . Not on 9500 kHz,
so I wonder if accidentally they reversed the digits? We shall hear if
this recur. But 9500 kHz supposedly at 00-06 UT only.
I'm checking 5900 kHz following this from Jim Renfrew, NY, at 0415 UT:
"Radio Coran 5900 kHz.
Glenn, while attempting to listen to the theological renditions of Brother
Stair on 5900 khz from Kostinbrod-Sofia-BUL, on March 17, at 0305 UT,
I instead found a Koranic program of some kind - very strong - with
Overcomers way underneath (and parallel to 6160v WBCQ). At 0400 UT the
5900 kHz station has a national anthem - familiar, but I can't place it.
Ah, there it is, at 0406 UT an English ID "Holy Koran Radio, Algeria" and
the same in French, then back to Koranic readings. Frequency appears to
be unlisted in WRTH and recent NASWA bulletins.
Seems // to 7440 kHz{from Bechar site towards south-eastern Sahel azi, wb}
but weak there and hard to be certain. Brother Stair, tonight (from beyond
the grave, I suppose) is all about the appearance of "Planet X" and how
the Norwegians have a plan to rescue their population.

ANTARCTICA Wolfgang Bueschel just reported March 14: "15474.971 kHz

Who says it's 5 kW?
I also have it approx. 15475 kHz:
15474.97 kHz into the one Argentine KiwiSDR working online. Only rock
music so far, rather weak, on both LSB and USB but louder on USB, and a
reduced carrier if sidetuned. Surprise Tuesday broadcast without any ad-
vance publicity?
Maybe it's the 'new' transmitter no longer circa 15476 kHz. As soon as I

Other reports on WOR iog:
Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington: "At 2035 UTC, I found
LRA36 on 15475 USB (at least it was heard best in USB mode) with a rock
ballad, then an ID, into a rock instrumental with a male voice speaking
during the song, another ID, then into a slow rock song with a singer
who sounded at times like Tom Waits. The signal heard via the Montevideo,
Uruguay, SDR suddenly went off the air around 2047 UT. Here near Seattle,
I could faintly hear the music directly, especially during the guitar
peaks, but it was overall much worse than last Saturday's reception of
LRA-36."
Levi P. Iversen: "Made it here to Norway too. Very weak but heard an ID at
just past 2015 UT on around 15474.97 kHz: "Transmite LRA 36 Radio Nacional

AUSTRALIA 5045 kHz Bay Islands Radio. Since their recent return here,
they have been having some amazingly decent receptions for a low powered
station; audio nicely above threshold level, so I was able to ID many of
the older songs that were playing non-stop.
March 15 - Another day with no IDs, PSAs, etc., so seems to not be a
Island FM relay; 1139+ UT, with over an hour of non-stop enjoyable listen-
ing to a wide variety of older songs; Animals - "Don't let me be Misunder-
stood," Emilie-Claire Barlow - "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," Hall

In Bild und Ton- Oesterreichische Rundfunkgeschichte. Doku OE 2023 (1+2)
Der neue ORF-III-Dokuzweiteiler widmet sich der Geschichte des Rundfunks
in Oesterreich. Der erste Teil beschaeftigt sich mit den Entwicklungen
der fruehen Phase ab 1923 bis zur Rundfunkreform im Jahr 1966.
Als im Jahr 1923 die ersten Sendungen des Versuchsradios Hekaphon in Wien
in den Aether geschickt werden,beginnt die Zeit des Radios in Oesterreich.
Das Potenzial des jungen Mediums erkennen damals nur Wenige. Die erfolg-
reichen Tests veranlassen Funkpioniere sich um eine staatliche Konzession
zu bemuehen. Am 1. Oktober 1924 nimmt die Radio-Verkehrs-AG (RAVAG) offi-
ziell ihren Sendebetrieb in Wien auf. Ihr Generaldirektor ist Oscar Czeija
Das sich anfangs als unpolitisch verstehende Medium wird im Laufe der
1930er Jahre zum Massenmedium und Propagandainstrument. Mit dem soge-
nannten Anschluss an Nazideutschland im Jahr 1938 endet auch die fruehe
Phase des Rundfunks in Oesterreich. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs
wird Oesterreich und seine Hauptstadt Wien in vier Besatzungszonen aufge-
teilt, ebenso das Radio in vier Alliierte Besatzungssender aufgefaechert.
Mit dem Inkrafttreten des Staatsvertrags im Jahr 1955 erlangt auch der
Rundfunk seine Souveraenitaet zurueck. Im selben Jahr betritt ein neues
Medium die Bildflaeche, das Fernsehen. Ton- und Bildangebend ist die
Politik. Sie nutzt den Rundfunk bewusst, um Politik zu machen. Er ist ihr
schliesslich auch direkt unterstellt. Es beginnt die Zeit des Proporz-
funks.
Im Jahr 1964 wird der Rundfunk selbst zum Politikum. Das Rundfunkvolks-
begehren als erstes jemals abgehaltene Volksbegehren in Oesterreich wird
initiiert. Es landet aber in den Schubladen der Parteisekretariate. Die
Regierungskrise im Jahr 1965 und vorgezogene Neuwahlen bringen die Wende.
Die neue Bundesregierung setzt eine Rundfunkreform im darauffolgenden Jahr
um.

Lieber Hobbyfreunde,
gestern bekam ich diese schlechte Nachricht vom ORF. Am Sonntag in der
Vorschau zu Sommerzeitumstellung hatte ich die ORF Mittagssendung noch
in der Hoererklubinfo aufgefuehrt.
Bei den RTI DX-Tipps werde ich die Info bekanntgeben. Im Herbst 2022
wurde die Abendsendung und nun wird im Fruehjahr die Mittagssendung
eingestellt. Die Morgensendung wurde auch auf 33 Min reduziert,
hoffentlich bleibt sie uns noch lange erhalten.

fighting, the Mexican cartel who's members killed some American 'medical
tourists' apologized to the victims, claimed the members who did it acted
against their 'code' and they were bound and delivered to Mexican police.
(A truly bizarre turn!) Other items included Alabama train de- railed (yet
another!) but not immediate toxic spill known, and the shooting in a
Hamburg Germany Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall.
At :35 into "International Edition" w/ items re power cuts and the nuclear
plant in Ukraine being off grid yet again because of Russian attacks,
attacks on journalists jeopardizing Press Freedom, and Republicans in the
US Congress begin an 'investigation' over the withdrawal of US troops from
Afghanistan.
A "PSA" leading up to ToH w/a "Rewards for Justice" bounty on al-Shabaab

nated Global Terrorist" offering up to a (presumably US) $5 million for

CUBA Re: Bejucal, Cuba, research findings.
In Cuba, they don't talk about "Bejucal" (the city of Bejucal is far from
the center). Internally, in the company, they speak of the second trans-
mitter center of Quivican. The facilities of "Bejucal" are still in use
and have even been restored after the last cyclone (Nvember 2022).
The transmitters are used, among other things, for the broadcasting on
short waves of Radio Progreso, La Onda de la Alegria, on 4765 kHz,
{not lately gh}
For the other programs broadcast from this former transmitter center of
the USSR, Radiocuba does not wish to communicate.

GERMANY SM Dessau Radio 3955 kHz, Rohrbach-Waal, Bavaria, Germany, EUR
March 17. SM Dessau Radio hrd from SDR at Novosibirsk Siberia remotedly on
3955 KHz (using a Double Half Double Loop antenna) - using QAM at 5 kHz
bandwidth produced a rather nice audio. S4 (SINPO) with light noise and
moderate fading. Tuned at 2159 UT with end of French service and what
sounded like Chinese music and then started English at 2200 UT.
Many station ID announcements in German and En, man talking about history
of Dessau and as the program progressed, more music. Music was mostly
German songs from the region interspersed with the SM Dessau Radio jingle
and man / woman announcers. The woman appeared to be in German, the man
in English. All in all, a nice program and well hrd in Siberia. Also not-
ed from W1NT SDR at 2230 UT at about the same lvl as Novosibirsk as the
darkness path approached ECNA. Not as well hrd from the TWR SDR site in
Delhi and even weaker from WeAustralia so suspect they were using an E-W
antenna.

GERMANY/U.K. Re: SM Dessau Radio 3955 kHz. Fair to good reception of
the program here in NB near the east coast of Canada. If beamed in the
same direction from ENC Woofferton as the preceding KBS transmissions in
German and French (114 degr), then received here off the back/side of the
beam.
Supposed to have been at a power of 125 kW but I didn't notice any change
in the audio level on my recording between the end of the KBS French broad
cast, registered with HFCC for 250 kW via ENC Woofferton-UK, and the start
of the SM Radio Dessau broadcast. Perhaps the KBS broadcasts are running
at 125 kW, too. Interesting program. Included various renditions of the
Dessau March used as the station's theme tune.

JAPAN Change of monitoring dates for April & November 2023.
Dear NHK WORLD-JAPAN Monitors,
We would like to express our gratitude for your continuous support to
NHK WORLD-JAPAN RADIO service.
This is to inform you that we will change the monitoring dates for April
and November, 2023, considering that these two months are immediately
following the season frequency changes.
The next designated Monitoring Dates are the 3rd week of April,
on April 15-18. For November 2023, the 2nd week, November 11-14.
New Monitoring Form and Frequency Schedule (A-23) will be sent as soon
as they are ready. We will send them to you during the first week of
April. Please wait for a while.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Best regards,
Monitoring Section
NHK WORLD-JAPAN (March 20)
{...} I have just received this from Radio Japan. The logic behind it
doesn't make sense to me. I would think that they would like to have
some monitoring as soon as A23 season begins.

KOREA REP OF [SOUTH] Echo of Hope - VOH, 3985 // 4885 // 5995 // 6250kHz
// 6350 // 9100 kHz, at 1100 UT, March 13, heard their signature sound of
a foghorn; two months with no change; I am not hearing former 7640 kHz any
more; also Nicolas (France) has reported a new VOH frequency on 7710 kHz,
which others have confirmed, but I have not heard them there yet.
All of which would tend to indicate VOH is experimenting with their
seventh frequency. Needs more monitoring to find out what develops.

MONGOLIA Voice of Mongolia 12014.87 kHz. Always interesting to experiment
with SDR reception on Mongolia. Today March 18, much stronger signal with
notable transmitter hum on 12014.87 kHz. Initially the South Korean SDR
HL3AMO was clearer, but Sapporo SDR remained stronger and in the end
clearer throughout the 30 minute show from 1430UT sign on with the English
program including interval signal. Truly amazing that here in 2023,
decades after this station was a primary DX target for many of us in the
early days of our DXing careers, VOM remains on using its own transmitters

RUSSIA_N Federation/or non/ : Today March 22nd on 7032 kHz SSB_mode
at *0501-0559* UT // 6828 kHz SSB the unid radio playing non stop the USSR
National Anthem, singing by group called "Lube" as disco version in
Russian was heard. First mentioned was on 14 October 2022 on 9900 kHz.
(pse see British Communication No. 576, November 2022).
Some Russian DXers named it as "Military Radio", but maybe we will say
"Radio Lube" ? The non stop of only one song remind me of Iranian jamm-
ing on 11470 kHz with the song "Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss me" singing of
legendary Shirley Bassey (recorded in 1958) vs. Radio Courier of Iran of
the communist party of Iran, broadcasting from Bulgaria.

SPAIN 12030, 9690, 11940, 11685 kHz, Friday March 17 at 2304 UT, token
English from SNR, all four on into Virginia SDR. 12030 kHz ME is
slightly better than 9690 kHz NoAM, while 11685 kHz AF faces usual RTTY
QRM. Justin Coe's feature is an interview at a Madrid gallery about the
painter Lucian Freud. Totally invisbile on the radio! So I look on the
web.
They admit he was grandson of Sigmund but supposedly not influenced by
him. Gallery online shows he specialized in portraits, and *all of them
UGLY !* Enough of that. Turkey fails to broadcast today so I have no
choice but listening to Spain. BTW, A-23 season channels will again be
17855, 15520, 17715, 11670 kHz respectively. Cuba registered 15520 kHz
and might collide until 2100 UT, but Spaingles will then be at 2200 M/W/F.

TAIWAN Taiwan and Chinese radio broadcasts, Tuesday, March 14
<https://en.rti.org.tw/news/view/id/2009146>
Taiwan is working to keep Chinese radio broadcasts from spreading proChina
content in Taiwan. That was the word from Premier Chen Chien-jen (???) on
Tuesday {Mar 14}, in response to reports of Chinese programs picked up on
radios in Hsinchu and Miaoli counties.
The Chinese programs broadcasted messages that encouraged Taiwanese youths
to go start businesses in China and promoted a "united front" in the
cross-strait region. Chen says the government will address the issue and
decide on consequences for the broadcast violations.
The premier adds that the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) and other related
officials will work on managing the reception of Chinese broadcasts.
Council Minister Chiu Tai-san (???) says in the past, radio stations in
Kinmen and Matsu counties would frequently pick up on broadcast signals
from China's Fujian province due to its proximity. Chiu says authorities
will consider the signal strength of the broadcasts and confer with others
about how to handle their reception on Taiwan's main island as well.

USA 9975 kHz UT Fri March 17 at 0346 UT, quick 2-second check confirms
something on here and has to be KVOH. Program sked has been updated as of

USA 5085 kHz March 21 at 0100 UT, WTWW-2 is still missing, as George
McClintock updates me: altho he can operate it remotely, he has been re-
covering from a virus or something for the past two weeks, quite ill at
home - and also a week without power following the windstorm; still trees
across the street. Meanwhile the station still needs a *lot* of work;
I suspected he was axually somewhat enjoying the troubleshooting, repair-
ing challenges, when he can get to the site.
Says an insulator broke at the end of an antenna wire, called a Steotype,
or something like that. #2 transmitter runs at 70 kW, but Ted left with
the harmonic filter not working [tho I never heard any second harmonix
from it].
Parts to bring the #1 up from 70 to a minimum of 90 kW were ordered and
supposed to be shipped from China three weeks ago; follow-up found they
were not shipped until last week, so wait another week. Hoping that a sale
will go thru but not firm yet. Buyer will gain among everything else, at
least twelve high power tubes.
Each transmitter needs only one, but Ted had been running the filaments
24 hours, wearing them down, all of them only partly depleted. Come to
think of it, everything was done wrong. George is at least making sure by
remote control that the filaments are off when not transmitting.
#1 and #3 are in pieces. #3 driver tube is no good.
A fan was cooling a balun, but fan's power was not wired in. A frequency
coil was missing, so had to recalibrate. Currently concerned with fixing
the automatic gate to the property.

USA 9975 kHz KVOH w/"Truth" to Ponder w/mention of a British street
preacher who according to Bob B got into hot water with officials because
he called a trans-woman "Gentleman" (I bet there is more to the story, as
I can't imagine that is the ONLY thing that happened to get him charged
with a crime. Bob B went on to say that God doesn't like homosexuals and
anyone with such a preference is demonically possessed.
"And Jesus said: "Drive out those who love people you don't" doesn't
appear in any of the Bibles I've read. Indeed, the only people he 'drove
out' of anywhere that I can recall from reading that book were the mer-
chants who were trying to use "religion" to line their pockets. Hmmmmmm.
This station has been off a lot more than on ... I thought I heard that it
was going to be on weekends only, but I only seem to be hearing them dur-
ing the week and NOT on the weekends. A change, or do I misremember?

USA 15755 kHz/DRM mode WINB PA Red Lion w/"Unity Baptist Church of
Athens TN" show w/a 'good ole boy' preacher emoting and percussing such
that I really couldn't tell you WHAT the pooch he was talking about other
than by the number of times he said 'Jesus' and 'God' and 'Bible' and
'sinner' it must have been something 'religious'. He wasn't quite as bad
as the Crazy Cajun preacher, but he was close.
[Audio Attached] Then at BoH "Bored Woman" ID (She sounds even more bored
in high quality audio I fear!) and into OM choir singing "Old Rugged
Cross" for 'Pastor Buddy Sizemore' from Chapel Baptist Church in Conway
Springs NC who was a similarly accented dude, but he did 'tone it down'
for us Yankees such that I could actually under- stand what he was talking
about.
He started by praying about 'religion' like abortions and children and
'our leaders guidance' and then offered of a CD of today's show, and a
free King James Bible by request. I find that preamble most interesting
because it leads into one of the most SENSUAL and SEXUAL verses of the
Bible (the Song of Solomon Chapter 5) which recounts a dream of a lover
seeking entry into a woman's bedchamber! Do these people even understand
the irony? Abruptly off while 'Buddy' was wrapping things up, so no ID at
the end, or even the details about how to get that free bible and CD, but
good copy right up to the plugpull.
17dB s/n and decoding rather well for a change. In the 55 minutes I re-
corded, it decoded a full 54 minutes of audio once the signal 'settled
down' (the first minute or so had a lot of drop-outs but almost none after
that), so 'listenable'! The audio that decoded sounded pretty good too,
but I REALLY want them to explain what is on the other 5 kHz of their
signal below this DRM audio! ;) 1604-1659* UT on March 10.

USA [non] Re: US AGM RFE/RL in Tajik & Uzbek on SW gone?
Right, Tony, not included in WRTH B22 schedules.
(Mauno Ritola-FIN, BrDXC-UK iogroups March 18)
Shortwave broadcasts from RFE/RL in Tajik and Uzbek may have been discon-
tinued. {see WRTH 2023, page 657 right column, wb.}
I have just been looking at the provisional HFCC registrations for A23
season (effective 26 March) and notice that those for the RFE/RL (USAGM)
broadcasts in Tajik and Uzbek are missing, leaving only Turkmen (Azatlyk
Radiosy) on shortwave to Central Asia.
{prev via BIB, LAM, KWT, UDO, or WOF relay sites}
And checking the current HFCC B22 registrations, they have already been
deleted it seems. I do save some of the previous HFCC lists for a short
time for reference and these were still there on 6 December 2022 but gone
by 10 February 2023. There is now no mention of any shortwave frequencies
for these languages on the RFE/RL website either.
I haven't checked this by actually listening yet, but it does look as if
RFE/RL may have stopped these broadcasts on shortwave around the start of
the year.
All other USAGM language services (VOA, RFA, etc) that were on air during
B22 appear to be continuing in A23, at least according to provisional HFCC
data.

UKRAINE MW transmitter, Chasiv Yar, Ukraine.
Just saw your message about the transmitter in Ukraine's Chasiv Yar re-
posted by the BC-DX bulletin at <topnews.wwdxc.de>
Quote "I dont have more info about it like antenna type or transmitter.
Currently it seems that it is switched off on MW like all other MW trans-
mitters in Ukraine. I got more info:
Tx tower was shelled and destroyed in December 2022
<https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=1&kHz=873>
Does anybody know more about the transmitter building ? "
The transmitter is Nautel NX-50 (though it operated at 25 kW). Similar
model was installed in Chonhar / Chongar for RFE/RL's project Crimea.
Realities (648 kHz; shut down on the first day of occupation; reportedly
moved by the Russian forces to Crimea). From what I know, both units were
a 'gift' from the USA, and the Chasiv Yar tx is definitely owned by the
Broadcasting, Radiocommunications & Television Concern (rrt.ua).
There has been no info about damages done to the transmitter building, so
let's assume it's relatively undamaged, which of course may change any
moment. Back in July, I asked some technician at Ukrainian Radio to bring
the issue of moving the tx to a safer place to the attention of their
'leadership'. The reply was "We are working on this, but the transmitter
is owned by RRT, not by the Public Broadcasting Company". The tx should be
moved somewhere, as it is definitely needed. In some occupied areas of
Ukraine, mediumwave was the only option to catch a Ukrainian station.
Acknowledging the problem, the officials are just citing a lack of funds.
Of course, they would find those funds if they really wanted to
[...]
Sorry, the tx is actually Nautel XL-60 model as shown at mwlist.

Denge Welat has moved to 17480 kHz - heard when I was checking today at
10:35 UT. The Erdogan jammer remains on 17470 (so far). I would expect the
jamming is not very effective in nearby Kurdish speaking regions of Turkey
and Syria in particular, due to the higher frequency skipping over.
The Turks were quick to find Denge's frequency change from 11 to 17 MHz.
I wonder who in Turkey is monitoring the station? - presumably someone in
the National Intelligence Organisation (MIT), who forwards the information
to TRT's Emirler station to make the necessary frequency changes.
(Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K., hcdx March 17)
Well - they changed to 17460 kHz when I found it at around 14:00 UT Mar 17
Seems to be using the same transmitter in Tashkent UZB (off be about -
some 275 Hertz distance).
The Turkish jammer is still on 17480 kHz at 15:00 UT !

Re: Denge Welat on 17470 kHz ...
Well just looking at the University Enschede Twente spectrum analysis of
Denge Welat radio started on 17460 kHz at 1415 UT with Turkish stoppin
from 17480 kHz at 1555 UT as shown in the photo below.
Right now at 1635 UT a signal of -35dbm is transmitting on 17459.75 kHz
(via Twente) and 51/23 good in my PL330 in Litohoron MT Olympus with the
20 m external antenna.
Erdogan -59dbm 17470.01kHz, National Intelligence Organisation (MIT) radio
Welat -59dbm 17478.781 kHz
CGTN -49dbm 17490.0kHz via University r. Enschede Twente SDR at 1130 UT

Re: unid - Denge Welat now on 15480 kHz.
Denge Welat heard this morning {March 17} on new 15480 kHz (15479.77 kHz)
with a strong signal here at 1135 UT tune-in carrying Kurdish music and
talk.
A weaker signal on 15470 kHz is the TRT jammer - carrying Turkish marching
music and Erdogan speeches.
As Tony observed on 15th, audio from Denge Welat matches their web stream
at www.denge-welat.org
(Dave Kenny-UK, BrDXC-UK iogroups March 17)
{KURDISTAN target [non] } 17460.000+, on March 17 at 1825 UT, a speech,
in Turkish ? Maybe it's Recep. S=9+45dB into UTwente, with some roaring
in background. No het and no other signals in the area now. After long
speech, 1842 UT songs start. Still going past 1900 UT, but now with a fast
rippling SAH from an understation several Hz off, not 250 Hz off as pre-
viously from Tashkent.
As reported March 15, Denge Welat started using 17470 kHz - via Uzbekistan
hit by jamming March 16, and earlier today was playing cat-and-mouse with
Turkish jammer jumping around 10 kHz intervals. Jose Jacob-IND, also re-
ported AWR in Hindi on unlisted 17460 kHZ until 1545 UT switch to another
language - wonder if that were a mistake at Tashkent ?

VANUATU 7260 kHz Radio Vanuatu, 0616 till past 0740+ UT (didn't cut off
at 0658 UT, as I had recently been observing!); announcers and pop island
songs; 0631 UT, indigenous drums theme music for the often heard (but cer-
tainly not on every day!) spot with messages and announcements; 0637-0639
UT, dead air with no audio; news / weather in Bislama from 0703 to 0712 UT
sounded like a PSA from the Department of Health about COVID-19, with a
numbered list of items (#1, isolation, #2 . ., #3 . ., etc.); poor recep-
tion. Briefly at 0616UT, had some noticeable QRM from the Voice of Nigeria
(7254.94 kHz).

YEMEN - rather Socotra Island [non island transmission]
Harald Suess-Austria - just got back from the Yemeni island of Socotra.
No internet, no viable phone operator, and no radio or TV stastions on
the island. The only phone operator is ETISALAT and has no contract with
Austria or Germany.
You can hear stations on VHF from Oman, on MW also OMA, but also on
MW ARS, IRN, UAE and VoA from DJI USAGM Djibouti in Eritra with strong
signals, a little weaker then (YEM no - MW cancelled ?), ETH, ERI, EGY,
KWT, QAT, ROU and HNG and other stations up to ARM.
I had tried PAK in vain, the national criquet championships and special
programs would have been expected there, but their frequencies on MW were
occupied several times by other Arabic stations.
I had tried Tanzania, but also there multiple occupancy in the Arabic
region, which made reception from TZA impossible.
The higher bands from 11-21 MHz were particularly present on HF. I had
tried Sudan in vain on shortwave, but heard only a weak station on
1602 kHz.
Shortwave from F, ROU as Europe, and ARS, OMA, KWT and UAE from Middle
East, and CHN, AUS, GUM, MRA, IND, SNG, THA, and TJK from Asia.
However, my equipment was also minimal with the SONY ICF SW07 for weight
reasons (backpack hikes). The isolated island was definitely interesting.
Socotra Archipelago - in the northwest Indian Ocean near the Gulf of
Aden, is 133 km long and 42 km wide and comprises four islands (and two
rocky is-lets) which appear as a prolongation of the Horn of Africa. The
site is of universal importance because of its biodiversity with rich and
distinct flora and fauna:
37% of Socotra's 825 plant species,
90% of its reptile species and
95% of its land snail species do not occur anywhere else in the world.
The site also supports globally significant populations of land and sea
birds (192 bird species, 44 of which breed on the islands while 85 are
regular migrants), including a number of threatened species. The marine
life of Socotra is also very diverse, with 253 species of reef-building
corals, 730 species of coastal fish and 300 species of crab, lobster and
shrimp.
The People of Sokotra speak a special language, called Sokotri, a very old
non written language. The island belongs to the Republic of Yemen, but
some political interest is from Saudi Arabia (helping to build new school
buildings, Fishermen Boats, Spital) and from the UAE (Roads, Water
de-stillation). Both countries have some military personal on the island,
but
you dont see them on the road.
Mountains are high until 1600 m above sealevel, the most people live near
the coast.
Only two flights a week makes a small traffic on the airport. One flight
to Yemen mainland, the other flight from Abu Dhabi, this one mostly for
tourists.
<https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1263/>
Hello Wolfgang,
Yes, with pleasure. The island itself is 133 km long, the number before
was for the whole archipelago with the 4 islands and therefore seems a bit
confusing.
There is also a small harbour from which ships sail irregularly to Yemen,
mostly for goods,but also a few people. Socotra is also home to "refugees"
from mainland Yemen, who of course speak only Arabic. They came in small
and somewhat larger boats and are happy to be halfway safe there.
The Yemen mainland is about 350 km away from Socotra island. Oman is even
a bit closer, but Africa as a whole is much closer to Somaliland with
about 100 km distance.
There was not a single large ship to be seen, not a single plane in the
air (except those that landed there). There are asphalt roads in the
coastal plain, but with very unpleasant thresholds to slow down the cars,
in the whole mountainous area there are only dirt roads, with one except-
ion, for which 4-wheel drive cars are absolutely necessary.
The biggest problem is the plastic waste in the settlement areas, the lack
of fresh water and sewage structure including sewage treatment. No refuse
pits and no waste disposal. The lack of toilet facilities could also be-
come a problem in the future. In my opinion, the following should be
realised with international help:
- Waste disposal facility
- Local dung pits and dung pits
- emptying programme
- cleaning of already polluted areas on land and sea
- training and awareness raising in the sense of a disposal-friendly
approach among the population.
- Toilet facilities with emptying service especially at the hotspots of
the places frequented by tourists.
- Medical facilities with doctors and free access to medicines for the
local population.
The aim should be to continue to welcome tourists, but to limit the number
as it is now - 50-60 per week. This is the only way to save the island's
treasure. No more roads should be built - the tourists should continue to
be guided over the bumpy mountain roads as they are now, this is what
makes the adventure and the value of this natural island.
It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to visit this island.
What is missing is peace on the mainland Yemen ....
