Dunamis Shortwave Loggings

Uganda
4750 Dunamis Shortwave, Mukono. May 5, 2015 at 1800 UT noted gospel songs on 4750 kHz with poor/fair reception due to local noise. Later also English religious programming. Couldn't get an ID but a fellow DXer here in Finland, Jari Lehtinen, managed to hear them ID. Signed off at 1909 UT. Dunamis Shortwave, Mukono had been silent and irregular for quite some time.

4750 Dunamis SW. Per Jari's tip (tnx Yari!) Heard this station via the Perseus site in east Finland on May 6 with non-stop highlife music from 1744 tune to 1836 UT, at which time the Perseus site abruptly disconnected and I could not re-tune.

4750 Dunamis, SW
Dunamis SW was better today than 6 May with signals improving steadily after 1830 UT to sign off - programming abruptly stopped in mid-song at 1917 UT and the carrier went down at 1917:29 UT. Whatever happened on 7 May was fixed today. Tuned both Karelia MWDX and TreDXK Perseus sites today with similar signal levels on both sites.

No announcement heard, and no religious programming, just local music. Decent signal strength (SINPO 2v3/3/3/3/3) with periodic utility interference both below and above the channel. Re-tuning today (May 7), good carrier presentation from same site as well as north Sweden, but audio was pretty
much non-existent. Likewise from the Brisbane site, but there the carrier was a bit weaker. Perhaps station staff is having technical issues with thetransmitter.

Hello Chuck, Many thanks for your kind remarks, but really credit is all due to Bill 5X1JM in Kampala, I merely passed on the news to him. He has now had a formal acknowledgement from UCC who are still investigating, and we are also awaiting their consent to amateur use in Uganda of the 7100- 7200 kHz segment of the band. We have that in Kenya, thankfully, but as far as I know not yet in Tanzania, Burundi or Rwanda, who are all part of the EA Community.

Dear Ted, this is indeed very good news. Pse convey my best thanks to Bill Musoke 5X1JM as his complaints and reports to the Ugandan authorties worked: Effictive 21 August 2010 UBC Radio Uganda has left 7195 kHz and QSY'd to 4975.9 kHz.

Already on August 20 I had sent emails and a FAX to the Ugandan Embassy in Berlin and to UBD in Kampala. Of course no reply, so far!

I have heard the transmissions of UBC on 4975.9 kHz myself last night at 2104 UTC. The signal was S=9 with my 80- and 40-m-dipole (Inverted Vee and \\ to each other, favourite direction north-south). Modulation was hollow and always a bit distorted. Bcos of the "crooked" QRG it is easy to hit the correct frequency easiyly. Have a try!

Thanks again for your effort, pse QSP to Bill 5X1JM, and all the best yours, Uli, DJ9KR Vice Coordinator of IARU MonSys Intruder Watch Region 1
