Re: [IRCA] TA carriers in AB

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that information Mauno.   I checked 
files from my  last Christmas' visit to Khartoum, 
and it was not heard then.   Most of my 
recordings were in the middle of the night, so I 
assumed it had signed off after midnight.

Perhaps the power bill from such a big 
transmitter is more than the government can 
afford.  I've heard that the economy is in rough 
shape, with quite a bit of inflation.

At any rate, the carrier was not heard this 
evening.  When it is there, it is very close to 
1296.000kHz, maybe a little bit low. (and that 
was not Sudan's 2016 offset either).

best wishes,

Nick
