Hi,

English by male speaker. ID at 1536 UTC. (Veldhuis)

15518.75, Bangladesh Betar; Shavar, Nov. 30, 1530, Female with ID and news

the plug at 1535 UTC. (Veldhuis)


BOLIVIA

4875.3, Radio Cruz del Sur; La Paz, Nov. 30, 2245-2310, Male and female in
Spanish, and (what sounded like) correspondents reports. Bolivia mentioned
regularly. Short music bridges. At 2305 jingle, promo, canned ID. At 2308

ETHIOPIA

9704.2, Radio Ethiopia; Gedja, Dec. 1, *0247-0301, Transmitter on at 0247,
when I was listening to non-stop music again on 9705 (presumably Mexico, see
other log). IS at 0258, followed by ID in presumed Amharic and chime. Strong

enough for ID. Heard again at 0335, again with non-stop music, this time
instrumental. Continued listening till Ethiopia turned on their transmitter
