The Voice of Democratic Eritrea - 1998 - Clandestine - Station Overview

 


 QSL Contributed by Hashimoto Kenji (Japan)

The Voice of Democratic Eritrea (operated by the Eritrean Liberation Front-Revolutionary Council) broadcast on
9230 kHz in 1998 from a clandestine transmitter located in Sudan. The transmitter was shared with other regional
 opposition stations like the Voice of Truth (Voice of the Eritrean Islamic Jihad) and
Voice of Free Eritrea.

In late 1999, the station shifted from 9230 kHz to 8020 kHz. Following political pressure and the cessation
 of Sudan-based operations, the station later leased European relay transmitters, such as Deutsche Telekom
facilities in Germany, to broadcast into the Horn of Africa on different frequencies.
