Re: [Swprograms] [ODXA] Another Shortwave UN ID station

Andy, Thank you very much for the information. I too definitely heard the word "Nacional" but wasn't sure if it was part of the station name or a news story to do with government or something. I as well heard frequencies and bands mentiond

I will have to dig this one deeper and see if I can confirm for sure who it is.

There is an ID but the signal is poor. Itâs âRadio Nationale de la Republique(word indistinct). Thereâs a clear mention of 9650 kHz, and another frequency in the 41 mb which I couldnât Âcopy. And mediumwave was mentioned, but no frequency as far as I could hear. All of which points to the Central African Republic, which according to WRTH 2016 plans to reactivate MW and SW this year. Elsewhere I saw that an Italian company got the contract to supply the equipment in 2014. Frequencies mentioned in WRTH are 1440, 5035 and 7220 (10 kW). 9650 has been used in the past by Radio Centrafrique, so may be a seasonal switch. The station operates 24h. Announcer seemed to be stressing that mediumwave and shortwave are available, suggesting that itâs something recent. BTW Radio Sonder Grense broadcasts only in Afrikaans.

Â

Thatâs the best I can come up with.

This was recorded at 654pm AKDT on Thursday April 14, 2016 (0254UTC Friday April 12th) in the middle of Alaska.

Â

Nothing was scheduled on 9650khz at this time, and checking 2 different sources confirmed this. Nothing scheduled later in the day on 9650khz would be broadcasting what was heard in this clip.

Â

Later in the day on 9650khz is Voice of Korea, which certainly wouldn't sound like this. Also later in the day is Radio Sonder Grense from Meyerton, South Africa which DOES broadcast in French but a check of some past broadcasts finds their music not matching what's in this clip.

Â

A copyright claim notice on this video indicated a song called, "Regard sur le passÃ, Pt. 2" was played in this clip as part of the radio broadcast.A newscast starts just after 7 minutes into this clip and I thought I hear the word kilohertz and Europe mentioned along with the word "nacional" but not sure if any of that is part of the station name/broadcast schedule or a news story.

Â

It sounds like a french language radio broadcast from some African country.

Â

The only 2 remotely plausible explanations we've been able to come up with is that Radio Nigeria from 9690khz operating 40khz off.

Â

Or, it's Radio Sonder Grense about 4-5 hours off schedule. Any ideas?

Â
