[HCDX] Clarification needed on some stations....

["Gloria R. Lalumia" <grlnj@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was listening last night (Mountain Time) and picked up a couple of 
interesting stations. When I did the research, I came up with a couple 
of "discrepancies." Any explanation would be appreciated...

Sat AM 9/6
0508 UTC  on 6195  ---"ragtime piano" followed by German female 
announcer, heard her say "Deutsche Welle." When I checked EIBI, I came 
up with the BBC :  I did not see any listing for DW at that time, so was 
I listening to a German broadcast from the BBC, and if so, why did the 
announcer say "Deutsche Welle"???
Very clear reception

0500 0600       G   BBC            (Europe) E   Eu  6195s 9410s
                                               WEu 6195r 9410s

> From 0511-0600 and still on when I turned it off:   4770  farily strong, but "muffled" with increasing static.
In English, I heard reports about houses lost in a landslide and the need for assisstance;
a report on Liberia; a report on Colin Powell trying to get other countries into Iraq; 
something about Governor Sharif (sp?) and bandits and a convoy of Americans; problems with the Constitution
and something about a new Constitution in December; by 0530 almost impossible to hear
anything over the static. Then at 0558 I tuned in again, short musice, and then at 0600 the
station was ID's as "Radio Nigeria."
HOWEVER, when I checked at EIBI I found:

0430 1915       NIG Radio Nigeria Abuja     E.. NIG 909 7275
0430 2305       NIG FRCN Kaduna            E,Vn NIG 4770 6090

4770 is FRCN Kaduna, on at the same time, not supposed to be Radio Nigeria!!  

Any insights into these two discrepancies?

Also, at 0507 I picked up on 6125  SODRE, which is from URG  Uruguay, I believe,
according to EIBI. The station was playing soft jazz and the announcer was speaking Spanish.

Fianally, up until a week or so agao, Radio New Zealand on 11820 and Radio Australia on 15515 
were coming in like they were from next door around 0500, but NZ has "disappeared" and RA is
coming in poorly in terms of signal strength.  I'm in Southern New Mexico.
