Re: [HCDX] UNID African on 17645 kHz

[Marcelo Xavier Vieira <marceloquinze@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Kai and Glenn,
Thank you very much for the information about the station I heard on 17645 kHz. It was a surprise for me. Actually I had already heard that jammer when Sawt Al-Amal was on the air a couple of months ago. But on this 16 of May I forgot completely about the jammer because 1) it was playing a different kind of African music (not the Arabic songs I used to hear) and 2) there was nothing to be jammed at that time and on that frequency. Anyway, thank you very much indeed for the info. This information will be on a DX programme called "Radio DX" , on "CVC A Sua Voz" (Brazilian Service of the Christian Vision), on the "Trans-oceanic" feature, which I present.
 
73 and good listening!

However, it could be that bad guys are behind the superbe music! Conventional wisdom has it that the non-stop African music station is a jammer directed to North Africa. You may enter "afro-pop jammer" in Google to learn more. 73,KaiMunich / Germany

Hello, everyoneThis is my first message to Hard-core DX.Today, early in the morning, I was trying to listen to some Chinese shortwave stations on my portable receivers, but I end up finding something much more interesting. I found an African (at least I believe it was African) station on the frequency of 17645 kHz. I started to listen to it at 1409 UTC and followed the transmissions until 1510 UTC. At the beginning my SINPO was 25222, but at 1510 UTC I almost could'nt hear the broadcast because the noise was too strong and loud. Despite my patience, I couldn't hear any ID. The station played non-stop African pop music, without a single identification or talk. The station played a lot of "ndombolo" songs, which is a style of music produced mostly in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I noticed also a slight noise coming from the transmitter whenever a song stopped playing. Does anyone know the name of the station or its location? 73!Marcelo Xavier VieiraChapadão do Sul - Brazil_________________________________________________________________Procure em qualquer página Web com protecção eficaz.
