NIGERIA 7254.934 Today Sun Aug 28 only empty carrier on air, when checked
at 06.10 UT in NoAM, like Rochester-NY and Massachusetts remote SDR's. S=8
at peaks, regular S=/ signal these days at this hour. At 06-07 UT Hausa lang
px is scheduled. Now around 06.25 UT some WeAF folk mx instrument to be
heard, BUT ONLY 5 % modulation level, I'd to switch off the AGC control
and set the audio level manually.73 wolfy df5sx

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 27, 2022NIGERIA [and non]. 7254.9+, Aug 27 at 0616, VON is on again, S9/+10
direct, undermodulated Hausa. At 1655 into Canary SDR, 7255- is on but
VP S5 vs S7 storm crashes, 1700 ID and news, SAM frequency as
7254.9335v. 1804 recheck, now much better at S9/+10, news mostly
readable. 1810 program ID as "Africa Hour" so continental content.
1825 about desertification. 1832 plugs various apps for reaching VON.
1848 about economy, but modulation stops, then fades back up, studio
error? Much depends on how heavy the accent of various voices: the
anchorette is bestte, sorta mid-Atlantic. I guess Nigerians can cope
with English variously accented depending on the original native
language.
Nigeria is now the only African country even attempting an external SW
service in English, so VON should be valued, treasured - disregarding
egregious Egypt. And also dissing gospel huxters originating or
relaying. Plus disregarding various 'target' broadcasts into Africa.
Signal into Canary should be much better if it's really 250 kW aimed
moreorless thataway. At 1852, UTwente gets nothing usable, just DRM?
noise but does lock onto 7254.934. No DRM EiBi listed closer than 7245
RRI Saftica at 18-19.
Back to Canary, hit *1857 by on-frequency 7255.0 big carrier as she is
upwrapping Africa Hour. 1858 drum & flute IS still audible under it.
1900 CRI theme for Turkish hour from far Kunming, now with horrible
low het, both unusable as VON presumably goes into Fulfulde as
scheduled 1900-2000 on 11770 like preceding English was supposed? to
be as in Aoki. At UTwente, Turkish clear with no QRM. BTW, current
EiBi lists nothing for VON. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
