Bruce,

Listen to 15745 from 0100UT on. Last night I heard a YL early followed
by almost 1/2 hour of instrumental music then a preacher in English
until about 0145UT then a YL again with what sounded like an address
in Sri Lanka given. Fade out after 0155UT. Could it be SLBC is
carrying TWR? Or is it just a religious broadcaster camped out there.
The only thing listed on 15745 is SLBC. Could not compare to 9770
since Turkey was on the frequency.

I know Thailand was propagating on this band. They were s9+10db on
15275 from 0000 to 0028UT. Maybe you wil have better luck being on the
west coast. If we get a repeat in propagation you should have
reception through to 0200UT and maybe you can get a positive ID.

Good DXing
Jim

Interesting - SLBC has been a religious broadcaster, so what you heard
is consistent with that history. I have heard SLBC on 19 meters
before, and it usually resembles what you describe. I will try 15745
this evening if I get a chance.

0155 is about then the 9770 channel died two nights ago. If the 9770
carried Turkey beginning at 0100, I guess it could have been them (I
did not get the new A10 skeds for other languages yet). The deadish
carrier would be consistent with VoTurkey.

Thanks!
