Shortwave
ALGERIA Ifrikya FM was observed on 15160 kHz on
1 May 2024 leaving the air at 0947. It had previously been noted going off at
just before 1100 and remaining off until just before 1800. This is the Ouargla transmitter that is
registered with HFCC for 0600-1900 but usually takes a break daily between
1100v-1800v for some reason, whereas the Béchar transmitter is on air continuously
during the daytime between its registered times of 0600-2200 on 17600 kHz. The
full schedule for Ifrikya FM can be found in Africa on Shortwave. (Tony Rogers); this report may be
updated at a later date if additional observations clarify anything further.
