(Hollywood, FL) November 7, 2014 –
Global 24 is pleased to announce that Radio Cairo will be joining our lineup of international relays.
According to Phil Workman, general manager of Global 24, “Radio Cairo brings a very different feel to Global 24. We want an international perspective and Radio Cairo will give our lineup a very different sound. We think shortwave listeners will enjoy hearing Radio Cairo with a little more ease on a regular basis.”
Global 24 notes that more information will follow in the coming days.

The independent broadcaster Radio Tamazuj has launched a new shortwave frequency to help expand its listenership in South Sudan.
Broadcasting daily in colloquial Arabic from 7:00-7:30 a.m. and 6:00-6:30 p.m., Radio Tamazuj focuses on providing listeners with uncensored news and information.
At its inception in 2011, the broadcaster initially targeted only northern parts of South Sudan and bordering areas of Sudan – the mixing or ‘tamazuj’ zones between the two countries – though broadcasts could be heard with varying signal strength across much of South Sudan.
The new frequency will improve reception for listeners in southern South Sudan, including the Equatorias, and for South Sudanese refugees in the neighboring areas of Gambella in western Ethiopia, northern Uganda and northwestern Kenya.
Morning frequencies are 15550 on the 19 meter band, 11940 on the 25 meter band, and 7315 on the 41 meter band. Evening frequencies are 15550 and 15400 on the 19 meter band and 13800 on the 22 meter band.
The new B14 shortwave broadcast schedule started on Sunday, 26 October 2014. You might have noticed that many online resources are in the process of updating schedules.
If you need up-to-date schedules in the meantime:
Happy listening!
Many thanks to the Global 24 Radio team for notifying me that they’ve posted their initial programming. I posted the full list below, but you should also check the Global 24 website as they’re making frequent additions.
As a reminder: Global 24 Radio begins broadcasting tomorrow, October 31, 2014, beginning at 2300 UTC on 9,395 KHz.

Waterfall display of the 31 meter band last night.
Last night, band conditions were superb above 7 MHz. Both the 31 and 25 meter bands seemed crowded with stations; for a moment, it felt like a true solar peak.
This morning, solar flares have dampened down the excitement but I imagine conditions could favorably change at times this weekend, so stay tuned!
I recorded the entire 25M band for a couple of hours yesterday evening and a large portion of the 31 meter band throughout the night. Fortunately, I had just invested in another Western Digital Caviar Green 3 TB SATA drive, so there was ample space to make these (very) large recordings. I think this brings my overall spectrum storage up to 12 TB!?!
I love the fact that these SDR band captures will make for good listening sometime this winter when the sun isn’t being so cooperative. I liken it to radio time travel, but I believe David Goren (of shortwaveology.net) said it best in a comment he posted in “Confessions of an SDRaholic: when 4.5 terabytes is not enough“:
“My approach to recording SDR band captures is like assembling a collection of fine wines. I tend to record captures when there are unusual propagational openings…and while recording a whole swath of frequencies for an hour or so you can still tune around and make discoveries and even record them singly.. And then once the capture is done, you have it as long as you want to keep it.. So, on a static-y summers day I can go to the shelf and pull down “Ye Olde Auroral MW Opening 10/15/11? or “Hot Bolivian evening on 60 meters.” and I can make discoveries to my heart’s content. Since I can listen to an hour’s worth of each frequency it will take a long time to exhaust the potential of any particular capture, esp. with the ability to refilter and change. multiple parameters of reception.”
See? (I tell my wife) I’m simply building my collection of fine wines!
Below, you’ll find some of the stations I logged last night (actually, this morning in UTC).
