Die letzten Zeilen der Column im CONTACT Heft April 2011.


Hello and welcome again to the Clandestine column. Here are this month´s
news:

North Korea ­ NIPPON NO KAZE heard on 12 March from Palau from tune-in at
1518 on 9975 with YL talk and a Japanese pop song, followed by more talk
with what sounded like a list (of names?) read of a soft music bed. Web
address of www.rachi.go.jp given. Transmitter off at 1529. Quick re-tune to
9965 to hear Nippon no Kaze signing-on again,
still from Palau at 1530. Confirmed after 20 minutes as a repeat of the 1500
transmission. Transmitter off at 1559. Signal fair/poor. (Alan Roe, UK)

Sudan ­ SUDAN RADIO SERVICE (Darfur Service) heard signing-on on 12 March at
1601 on 17700 via Ascension, signal fair/poor. Also 11785 via Meyerton heard
in parallel, but weaker signal. Meanwhile the main Sudan Radio Service
transmission heard on 17745 via Sines (not parallel with 17700/11785) with
African music at 1607.

RADIO DABANGA  heard signing-on on 18 March with fair/good signal on 9785
via Wertachtal, with the lively R Dabanga jingle, YL talk and many mentions
of Radio Dabanga. (Alan Roe, UK)

With regard to the coverage of the 2010 Clandestine Activity Survey in this
column in recent months the question has been raised by David Crystal why
Israel is listed as an active target area. Well, this is due to the Voice of
the Palestine Islamic Revolution, broadcasting via the VoIRIB for one hour
daily. (MK)

I hope to see you again next month. 73, Mathias
