New clandestine statio, Mizzima Radio on shortwave

 MIZZIMA RADIO

A new clandestine station began broadcasts on shortwave around January 1. The station is called Mizzima Radio and is on the air on a daily basis via the Encompass DM transmitter at Dhabayya, United Arab Emirates.

Here is my logbook note from yesterday, January 11:

17730  U.A.E.  Mizzima Radio - ENC Al Dhabayya. S-on 11.59 UT with introductory music, a clear ID, and welcoming announcements in Burmese at 12.00 UTC, news at 12.02 UTC, and music at 12.16 UTC to introduce a commentary program. Good signal except for some slight carrier hum, Jan 11., the 23rd-anniversary logo for Mizzima Media.
