Cairo at S9+35 into UTwente, but suptorted in English, almost understandable beneath big humbuzz, 2123 presents something else. This time I go looking for a live webcast. WOR hitlist leads only to general homepage, and can`t get anything audible. Publicradiofan.com leads to ERTU English via http://egradio.eg/LiveRadio/ but again can`t get anything to play. At least it`s a neat multilingual player design. A pop-up for Qur`an certainly does play -- until it stalls (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
EGYPT. 9884.958, March 27 at 0027, dead air of S9/+15 direct, something new about to sign on? No, still dead past 0100. Suspect it`s Radio Cairo since also -42v Hz off frequency; and indeed ERTU is in HFCC A23 on 9885 as 2330-0045 to CIRAFs 13 & 15 from Abis, 125 kW, 252 degrees in Arabic. At 0059 I try Maryland SDR, where it`s S9+10/20 and -45 Hz offset. Still going at 0115, but cuts off at 0116*. I suspect it has finally switched to 9860, which was supposed to start at 0045 in Spanish until 0200. I retune immediately at 0116 to 9860 and there it is, same signal level, same dead air, same offset until cuts off at 0207*. For further checking, also A23 sked: 2115-2245 still 9440 English, 2215-2330 9900 Portuguese. Obviously two transmitters would have to be working at 2215-2245 if both were to be simulheard, unlikely. One of them used to be about +2.5 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
