INTERNATIONAL DX NEWS
NETHERLANDS Haagstad Radio from Den Haag, a Hindo station, is now active on 1485 kHz.
The transmitter power is 1 kw. (Ruud Vos via Hard-Core-DX).
PERU Radio Huanta 2000 has returned to 4747.5 after a stay on 4756v. The station was
noted in New Zealand with long string of ads in both Spanish and Quechua on 21st July,
at 1000. (Paul Ormandy, Oamaru, New Zealand)
SOMALIA A number of unidentified stations, probably of Somali origin, are currently
being heard here in Taranto (South of Italy) on the frequencies of 6689, 6980 and 6985
kHz. To learn more about these operations we asked to Mahendra Vaghjee who lives on
the Mauritius to investigate: Here are the results:
6689 [6690 v] Is Radio Mogadishu Voice of the People S.on at 15.00 with N.A then
Recital of Koran followed by Talk on Religious and Islam 15.30 ID followed by Somali
Songs 18.00-18.15 (Usually it was 19.00-19.15) in English - Id as Radio Mogadishu -
Voice of the people the Military Band tune (*) 18.15-18.30 Arabic then at 18.30-18.45
Swahili went off at 19.00 (usually it was 20.00) after Recital of Koran - and N.A.
also went on at 04.00.
7060 R.Mogadishu - V.O.P in Swahili not the same programme as 6690 s.on at 16.00 with
Military band tune and went off at 17.00 with the same tune (*) Same as 6690 kHz.
7071 Radio Hargeisa, 15.00-19.00 (Poor Reception).
6900 Radio Holy Koran, 16.00-18.00 (Good Reception for the moment).
6815 Radio Mogadishu - Voice of Pacification has moved to 6847 s.on at 16.30 and off
at 19.00 (Poor).
I also heard 6985 but did not heard any ID. Probably R. Mogadishu Voice of the People
before moved to 6690 kHz. (Mahendra Vaghjee).
SAINT HELENA Radio Saint Helena will once again use a "Cable and Wireless" transmitter
on the island 23rd October 1999. The programme will be aired on 11092.5 kHz, from 1900
to 24.00, on 23rd October 1999. (Andy Sennit via Media Network on Radio Netherlands)
ZIMBABWE ZBC was noted on 3306 (presumably ex 5012 kHz) at 2030 on 24th July in New
Zealand. Poor-fair signal though I was quite surprised that it was still propagating at
this time, being 1 hour after local sunrise. (Paul Ormandy in New Zealand)
DEE EX PISTOLS

UNITED KINGDOM As from July 26th Caroline is on air on 1503 kHz. They expect to
stay on the air continuosly for 28 days.The power is low and the signal is not

The ship is based in Essex at Southend. (Peter Moore-R. Caroline via Pecolatto)
