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

Andy, it's been pretty much confirmed it's "Radio GuinÃe" several others have now heard/logged/reported it. Â(Does this make me first?LOL)

Does it make a difference between Âwhat we thought the name was, Radio guinea and what the name is, Radio Guinea?

Hi Paul,

Â

That sounds very plausible. On the recording you posted, there was mention of Mali. I assumed that was the country, but looking at the website of the AGP, Guineaâs national news agency, I see that Mali is also the name of a prefecture in Guinea, which has had reception problems of the national radio since a local transmitter broke down in February. The authorities were worried that some people were listening to foreign stations instead of RTG. Perhaps this has spurred them to get back on shortwave again. The only thing that doesnât fit is the listed broadcasting times, but they may now be 24h.

RTG did once have a website, but it doesnât have on at the moment, so I canât check.

Â

I hope the signal can be heard again. Meanwhile, if I can find any more relevant info Iâll post it here.

Â

Good luck!

Â

Andy

Andy, someone swore they heard a mention of "Radio Guinea" when listening on 9650 tonight.

Â

Does that mean anything or help solve this mystery for sure?

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
