THE FOUR WINDS ON LINE  - Copyright 1997   Part  4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year  2   Number 32  - Rome, 11 July   1997 


NIGERIA - [non]. Radio NADECO's monitors in Nigeria complain that they
cannot hear the broadcast at 0500-0515 M-F via WWCR 5070 because of
interference from VOA. This must be Sao Tome, 5970, at 0500 in English
toward Nigeria, via cheap-receiver image 900 or 910 kHz below, an
unfortunate coincidence. Until July 10, NADECO programs were jumbled
with news and analysis broadcast in wrong order, and no announcements
have been made nor posted on their website www.nadeco.org about the
bonus repeat WWCR has been giving them M-F at 1630-1645 on 15685, which
may very well provide better reception. Of course, W.O.R. listeners
already knew about that last week (Glenn Hauser, OK, and W.O.R. 901 via
SWDX Report 97-05 July 10)

TURKEY - The Voice of Turkey is running an essay contest again this year
--- the subject is Anatolia,  The Cradle of Civilization. (Gigi Lytle,
TX-USA)  

UNIDENTIFIED - In the two weeks since I first reported the station on
7543.5-LSB, I have seen absolutely no reports of anyone else hearing it.
I checked again the following evening, June 19, and it started to fade
in around 2345; at 0025 some talk, 0030 music, occasional talk, but far
too much splash from WSHB-7535 to understand anything. June 20, I
checked earlier in the morning at 1100, but nothing heard until a weak
carrier around 1200; audio faded in at 1223 with preaching in progress.
No further checks were made while I was on vacation until June 28 when
the Spanish preacher was seemingly turned on in progress around 1226;
still audible at 1350 with some music breaks. Next check July 1 at *1241
but too weak to copy; 1255 faded in stronger with preaching, 1315 music;
at 1342 ending "Una Voz en el Aire" program with Mexican music, and
starting "Una Cita con Dios" giving an address on Central Avenida in Los
Angeles; 1359 "Fragmentos de Inspiracion" within Cita show; 1410
repeated L.A. address, 1411 ending program, dead air for a minute, 1412
music; 1438 recheck with hoarse English-accented preacher in Spanish;
1507 still audible but weaker, and gone by 1525. Never any s/on, s/off
or IDs heard other than names of programs. Perhaps this is a Mexican
aficionado doing his part for evangelism, and his clock is 12 minutes
slow or 18 minutes fast...July 2, tune-in at 1221 to find it already on
air with usual fare, but had moved up to 7544.1, still audible at 1455
(Glenn Hauser, Oklahoma-USA/ SW/DX Report 97-04 July 2)

UNIDENTIFIED - Thanks to three former colleagues in Florida who have
checked out my unID on 7544v. David Crawford had it July 4 at 1330 on
7543.8 LSB plus carrier, charasmatic-style service in Spanish. Terry
Krueger listened July 5 on 7543.6 at 0229-0249, clear and weak with
sermon; sounded very low power, very far away or both. Robert Wilkner
had it at 2330 on 7544.06 July 5, and at 1023 past 1050 on 7543.42v. I
still detect it most mornings around 1230-1300, but my patience is
running short with a station barely audible which will not identify
itself. Monitoring in various parts of Latin America might give us a
clue to location based on strength, and direction-finding would also be
a big help (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 901 via SWDX Report 97-05 July
10)
