**BULGARIA. 9900, Radio Varna, 2057-2205+, April 15, Tune-in to Dionne Warwick music. Time pips & National Anthem at 2100 followed by news in presumed Bulgarian. Radio Varna ID at 2107. A variety of local pop music, light instrumental music, & classical music. Talk. ID at 2201. Fair to good. Sunday only. (Brian Alexander,
PA)
**CROATIA. 6165, Croatian Radio-Voice of Croatia, 0600-0603, April 15, Three minute English program with IDs & English news. // 9470-via Germany. Both frequencies fair. (Brian Alexander, PA)
ERITREA. 7100, Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea-Program 1, Asmara, *0354--0425+, April 12, Sign on with IS. Talk in local language at 0400. Some Horn of Africa music. Fair. (Brian Alexander, PA)
**ERITREA. 7175, Voice of the Broad Masses of Eritrea-Program 2, Asmara, *0354-0425+, April 12, Sign on with IS. Talk in local language at 0400. Lite instrumental music. Horn of Africa music. Poor under a presumed Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (Germany) but in the clear at 0400 when they leave the air. (Brian Alexander,PA)
**ETHIOPIA. 7210, Radio Fana, Addis Ababa, 0325-0345+, April 12, Horn of Africa music, talk in local language. Poor under BBC but in the clear at 0329 when BBC leaves the air. Weaker on // 6109.92 but only audible after TWR leaves the air at 0332. (Brian Alexander, PA)
*LIBYA. (via France?), 17870, 21695, Voice of Africa, 1406-1557* April 15, Opening English announcements at 1406. Program about human rights. News at 1437. Local music. Heard on these 2 frequencies 2 days in a row! Both frequencies with fair to good reception. (Brian Alexander, PA)
**SOUTH AFRICA? 3320, Radio Sonder Grense?, Meyerton, 0520-0557*, April 15, Tentative. Very distorted signal with talk & music. Too distorted to catch any further details. I guess this could be South Africa, although South Africa is scheduled to sign off at 0530. (Brian Alexander, PA)
