7146.56      ERITREA   V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea  Getting extremely weak signals showing up on both 41mb freqs at 1646 start.  Audio on both 7146.56 and 7185 at 1810.  7146.56 fairly strong w/closing anmnt by M at 1830, then long patriotic song 1833, then OC to at least 1837.  You can view the video here  https://youtu.be/iShJIXKaxEg  (27 Oct.)

15235         SOUTH AFRICA   Channel Africa  1700 into EG w/”Africa Digest” w/pgm intro by W, then live M host w/TC, pgm and stn ID and freqs, and upcoming stories preview, and W w/nx.  Fair.  (27 Oct.)

15260         UK   R. Sama from IBRA (via Woofferton)  Signal on at 1659:40 and audio up 12 sec. later w/AR Pop mx, W w/ID, then switch to horrible audio feed like it was through a phone w/mx and M anncr briefly which was stopped, then back to good feed w/same M over mx.   Good signal.  Video can be found here  https://youtu.be/wgg-x2Nv7l8  (27 Oct.)

11750         SRI LANKA   SLBC (tent.)  Signal here at 1713 w/what sounded like subcont. mx, but too weak and too much 11760 slop QRM.  (27 Oct.)

11700         SWAZILAND   TWR  1800 chime IS and EG ID by M then off.  Good signal.  (27 Oct.)

7200L         Hams   1804 presumably a Ham operator playing “Flirtin’ With Disaster” by Molly Hatchet intentionally jamming other Hams who were having a good discussion about him.  One Ham repeated mentioned FCC rule paragraph 97.113 sub-paragraph 4.  Went on for quite a while.  Here's a link to the video  https://youtu.be/u9WHBYVnZ6w  (27 Oct.)

4920           UNID.   Rel. preaching by M at 1655.  Not a spur of 5015.  Harmonic maybe??  Not 1230 as lcl stn WCRO is not rel.  There are a few regional rel. stns on 1230.  Could be 1640 WJSP, Sussex, WI or 820 WVSG, Columbus, OH too.  I didn’t check for parallels.  (27 Oct.)

6090 Amhara R. came on at 1931:22, then mx brought up 10 sec. later.  And 6030 R. Oromiya came on at 1932:17, then mx on 13 sec. later but they were having trouble with the audio cutting in and out (check out the video at  https://youtu.be/Sv9W73om5FY  ).  Second day in a row these 2 came on around 1930 and wonder how often this occurs.  (27 Oct.)
