Blog Logs - Algerian (Western Sahara) monitoring



ALGERIA [Western Sahara] 700 Polisario Front was noted on the same day I sent my other report, i.e. 22 Aug, viz. 2141-2345, Arabic, talks, songs, chantings, exhaulted shoutings, news (tent) 2300; 54444, adj QRM de ALG 702. DF w/ both my Beverages & K9AY show really diff. bearings between ALG 702 and Polisario 700, the latter being more westwards, so probably Tindouf. 1550 remains off. By the way, the Moroccan jammer remains on.

National Radio of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic is back on 7460 kHz after a few months off the air. Heard with good signal here from tune-in at 1900 this evening (Sunday 19th August). Thanks to Tony Rogers for drawing my attention to a log from Ralph Brandi (DXPlorer) who heard their morning broadcast yesterday. This station broadcasts from the Western Saharan refugee camps near Tindouf in SW Algeria. (Dave Kenny-UK, Br DXC-UK Aug 20/WWDXC Top News)

This clandestine is also heard well here in Denmark now Aug 20 at 1915- 1930 on 7460.0 with the same kind of programme, SINPO 45343. It has been off Shortwave since October 2005, but obviously strongly back now. Thanks to Ralph Brandi for the tips. (Anker Petersen-Denmark, DXplorer Aug 20/WWDXC Top News)
