Thanks to all for comments and corrections on my log!

        My original log was was marked as "tentative. t."
        If this is proved an error, it will most likely not be the last

UNID   Thanks to a tip of Noel Green-UK noted an Unidentified Arabic music
station on 15150 kHz in 1300-2000 UT slot on Dec 9th and 10th. QRM
co-channel by VoRUS-RUS, but covered the latter station totally here in
south-western Germany.

Station supposed to be originate from Sabrata Libya, but noted the two
Sabrata outlets still on 17725 and 21695 kHz, IDed in En at 1410 UT, Sabrata
txion very poor signal.

GEORGIA/ABKHAZIA   [tent.] At 0550 UT noted Abkhazia (Georgia) in Russian
again, -- after long break.
9494.74 kHz. But station had left the air approx. 0624 UT, when checked
again.

Yesterday around 1450 UT, and this morning again (0550 and 0630 UT) noted an
UNKNOWN station carrier on 9510.74 kHz. Could that be the 2nd Abkhazia tx,
which was lately near 9535 kHz, BUT on approx. 9508 kHz in the nineties a
decade ago !

U.K.   R Solh from Rampisham-UK to AFG nominal on 15265 at 1200-1500, noted
\\ on a second channel 13830 in 1300-1400 UT slot, same 500 kW powerhouse
sound.

Bad audio circuits these days on ISDN and Webcast mode era:
many complaints about DWL's bad audio via Skelton site 6075 kHz. Heard a
like snatchy staccato, but also noted this suffer on different services via
Skelton site, like VoA French Mo-Fr this morning 0530-0630 SKN 300 kW 180
degr, Dec 10.

U.S.A.   Puzzled me today Dec 10th: VoA Creole from Greenville nominal on
11890, noted 5 kHz up on 11895, covering BBC Nakhorn Pathom Thailand
totally.
1230-1300 UT, maybe a punch up error ? I'll check it tomorrow again.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

** ALBANIA. 13640, no sign of R. Tirana, scheduled in English to NAm, Dec 10 at
1536 check. Must be down for maintenance? Antenna repairs? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. RA continues to be inaudible on its normally potent 31m
frequencies: Dec 10 at 1347 could not hear on 9580 or 9590, but OK on 6020.
Presumably near Summer Solstice, the 9 MHz signals are getting absorbed rather
than refracted where the first hop would normally be in our direxion, the
pre-sunrise MUF being at its lowest, altho one might otherwise conclude that
they are no longer on the air at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. R. Bulgaria, 15700, Dec 10 at 1356 with splatter out to 15680 and
15720, peaking most at 15685 and 15715, bothering station on 15690 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. The Sackville transmitter relaying NHK on 11705, at 1416 Dec 10,
exhibited a lite squeal, a bad sign of impending trouble. Let`s hope they don`t
let it deteriorate as much as WEWN and RHC. Was about immigration in Sweden, so
I checked Yamata 7200 to be sure it was really NHK programming instead of a
feed mixup at Sackville, and indeed it was // 7200 tho a couple seconds out of
synch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Once again, R. Havano Kubo`s weekly Esperanto broadcast heard on 13760
in addition to 11760, Sunday Dec 9 at 1502, as they were giving schedule, not
mentioning 13760. But at 1507 recheck, 13760 was gone, so I suppose it was just
running over after previous transmission in Spanish, while 11760 continued
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also VENEZUELA

** CUBA. Surprised to find the DentroCuban Jamming Command running at full
force on 7405, UT Mon Dec 10 at 0637 during the weekly truce when R. Mart? is
off the air; however, 6030 was clear of both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC stayed on late Dec 10 to celebrate Human Rights Day. S?, amigos,
you heard me right, Human Rights Day, from the home of repression! Noticed at
1505 on 15370, 13760 (an echo apart), 13680, 12000, 11805, 11760, 9550, YL
going on and on in Spanish about how there are more HR in Cuba than elsewhere,
where people can get educated and medicated. It`s a north-vs-south issue. The
US blockade is ``genocidal`` --- then how come we are providing Cuba with food,
despite it? That`s the thanks we get? Another prime twisted example of The Big
Lie from our Commie neighbors. Nothing much said about freedom of the press,
other traditional human rights. This was apparently run-up to a speech by some
OM (not Fidel) which was underway at 1520; all gone at 1601 recheck. Meanwhile,
she threw in a frequency announcement at 1517 mentioning all of the above plus
9600, which as usual was incorrect, no RHC there, fortunately for XEYU 9599+
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. DW Amharic jamming check, Dec 10 at 1437: 15660, white
noise jamming, some audio detectable; 15640, only jamming; 15620, DW Rwanda
good except for flutter, no jamming.

11900, Dec 10 at 1525, could hear talk mixed with white noise jamming, i.e.
Tensae being blocked; not DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH. Strong DRM continues regular here on 15790-15795-15800, Dec
10 at 1355 and still at 1606. HFCC registered as Issoudun, France TDF, but
Guiana French has been missing from 17870-17875-17880.

15795 is STILL missing from DRM`s own schedule at
http://www.drm.org/livebroadcast/livebroadcast.php
which claims ``Last modified: 2007.12.07,12:24.00#5#+00:00``
and is evidently identical to
http://www.vtplc.com/communications/product.asp?itemID=1021&catid=486
attributed to Klaus Schneider and presumably identical to yet another version
http://www.baseportal.com/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/drmdx/main&sort=kHz,UTC
and yet2 another version of the same data:
http://www.radionetherlands.nl/features/media/dossiers/drm_schedule.html

So, if Klaus Schneider doesn`t know about it, the info is not on any of these
schedules. Perhaps we need a real alternative? Posts from Dec 3 to Dec 6 on the
drmna yg, however, confirm 15795 is Montsin?ry, carrying RFO Guyane programming
for Martinique and Guadeloupe, so also favoring NAm in azimuth (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** POLAND [non]. PRES, 9450 via Wertachtal, GERMANY, Mon Dec 10 at 1324-1337
had a very welcome feature on Polish classical music, CDs recently issued, etc.
Good reception as we can expect only around Solstice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 13710, Arabic yelling, distorted, but fortunately,
undermodulated, Dec 10 at 1523. Rather reminded me of Brother Scare 100 kHz
higher via Germany. 13710 listed as Riyadh, 295 degrees.

15205, huge buzz overriding muezzin, --- Allah`ll get `em for that --- 1602 Dec
10, also bothering 15210 WYFR with Open Forum translation into Arabic, as if
any Arab would care what Harold Camping thinks, and extending down past 15200.
15205 is the terribly defective BSKSA transmitter, Riyadh at 320 degrees toward
us, no thanks. Don`t their engineers have any professional standards? Is no one
in the chain of command capable of making a decision to turn it off unless
fixed? Not // BSKSA 15435 Arabic talk, VG modulation there (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SWEDEN [non]. R. Sweden had an excellent report on the Nobel Prize award
ceremonies, on their Dec 10 broadcast, 1530 via Canada 15240. Catch a repeat if
you can, or ondemand (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBCQ, 17495-CUSB, Sunday Dec 9 at 1510 discussing overnight delivery
and blown speaker. Not Al Weiner show. Scheduled as The Zeph Report, 14-18 UT
Sundays only. A few minutes later it was back to gospel-huxterism. There was
another signal underneath causing a slight ripple against WBCQ`s reduced
carrier, but not like the 9330 collision where they were a few hundred Hz
apart. That of course is Democratic Voice of Burma, via Madagascar, daily
1430-1530 on 17495, as EiBi reminds us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KAIJ, missing from 5755, at various nighttime chex Dec 8-9, and also
from 9480 in daytime. Still no sign of KAIJ on 5755 or 9480 UT Dec 10. However,
the webstream is running normally, with scheduled programming checked Dec 10 at
1630. This is not too surprising, since that comes out of the studio/HQ in
Murfreesboro TN. 

George McClintock tells me that he has not been to the transmitter site, but
info from Two If By Sea president Mike Parker is that: on the weekend of Nov 30
there was apparently a lightning strike, which melted wiring in the conduit, so
the remote site near Frisco TX has been without power. Delays in getting it
back are caused by the need to get bids from contractors, actually do the work,
get it inspected, etc., etc., at some distance from The Metroplex. It is
believed the transmitter, with surge protection, was not damaged. Will be back
on ASAP. This problem has nothing to do with rumors that KAIJ is being sold.
George adds that since the datalink company changed hands, there has been
better service and less downtime in getting the program feed from TN to TX
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Another no-show for ``Al?, Presidente``, Sunday Dec 9, the
first day of UT -4:30, so perhaps HCF was confused and didn`t know what time it
was. At 1506 checked all the usual frequencies via Cuba, 17750, 13750, 13680,
11875, 11670 and nothing there. However, an hour earlier I did hear presumed
RHC mixing with WEWN on 11875, so A,P probably started at usual 1400 and was
cancelled during the following hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. For the record, the mystery 1181 kHz carrier is still there, and
from the same direxion when checked at 0240 UT December 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Dec 10 at 1344 did a quick out-of-bandscan looking for the
50-kHz-wide clicks which we think are Chinese OTH radar, and found them, this
time indeed inside the 40m hamband, 7045-7090, plus 6610-6650; at 1348,
5195-5240, 5355-5410, 5550-5590; at 1419, 11415-11435. That one seemed only 20
kHz wide, but the actual bandwidth may depend on the overall strength, and the
frequencies given are only approximate, as the signal weakens gradually as it
spreads out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. As I was out-of-bandscanning for Chinese OTH radar clix, came
upon large S9+20 extremely distorted FMy blob centered about 10906 kHz, Dec 10
at 1420. Talk in seeming western language, could have been English or Spanish.
No // found on 9 or 11 MHz bands, not RHC. Slope detexion on hi side marginally
improved intelligibility but still nothing recognizable. 1430 went into equally
distorted music, 1438 talk again. Could not take any more of it, so despite my
deep curiosity and desire to identify it, went back to the much more pleasant
unID Arabic music on 15150. At 1504 recheck, 10906 was gone. Wish I had FM
capability which probably would have helped. Likely horribly mistuned
transmitter, and finding the intended frequency will be difficult, as not a
leapfrog or harmonic which could be calculated. Hope others can hear this
subsequently, but may prove to have been a one-off, like 7733.5, Nov 7 at
0639-0715 as in DXLD 7-135 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13848 spreading at least 5 kHz up and down, a continuous noise
but as if keyed irregularly, maybe 7 or 8 shorts, than 2 or 3 longs. Blocked
DGS via WWCR 13845 which was weak anyway as usual here, at 1506 Dec 9, and same
a few minutes later. Possibly jamming something on 13850? Ah yes, Israel`s
Persian, its only remaining external service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15150, Dec 9 at 1534 and earlier, M singing slowly in very minor
key would be an understatement, Mideastern style, and also at 1606 recheck.
Looking up later, I don`t find anything likely on the three major online
listings, other than possible Indonesia, but doubt that from fair strength, and
style.

15150, continuous Arabic music, some instrumental, much of it vocal too, Dec 10
at 1358, no // found on 15, 13 or 11 MHz bands; one-minute pause at 1359 but no
ID or announcement of any kind before music resumed. Monitored on and off
during following hour; same break at 1459; also a pause at 1521 but maybe just
changing CDs or something. Still going after 1600, but weakening with flutter.
Wolfgang B?schel & Noel Green say the span for this is 1300-2000, and suspect
it is Libya. Erik K?ie, Denmark, suspects Iran.

During pause at 1559 heard part of the WYFR trumpet IS before it cut off
abruptly --- unfortunately, I had two radios on at the time, the other tuned to
15240 where R. Sweden via Canada had just closed, and was in another room so
cannot be sure WHICH speaker that came from! It should not have been on either
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)  ###

European HD Radio examined

Germany could be the key European country in the development of digital 
radio as this month sees the start of test broadcasts for both DRM+ and HD 
Radio.

This coincides with the second meeting of the European HD Radio Alliance 
this coming week in Amsterdam, reflecting the growing interest in the 
American-developed "HD Radio" system.

The first European trials of HD Radio took place in Poland and Switzerland 
last year and have been followed by tests in the Czech Republic, Ukraine, 
Romania and Bosnia. The latest test site is Heidelberg, which went on air on 
December 1 and is scheduled to run until February 29 next year. This 
overlaps with trials of DRM+, the extended version of the digital AM format, 
which began on November 20 in Hanover. A second DRM+ test will be held 
in Kaiserslautern from March 1 to May 31 2008.

HD Radio had been confined to the US, where the in-band, on-channel 
(IBOC) system was considered to be better suited to the country's radio 
frequency structure than DAB, which requires new transmission bands to 
carry the multiplexed signals. Although DAB is now well established across 
Europe there is concern within the radio industry that the cost of getting on a 
multiplex could be a barrier to small, commercial stations going digital.

As a consequence iBiquity Digital, the company that developed HD Radio, 
has been receiving enquiries from European radio stations. "DAB is very 
well suited to multiple programme supply, along the lines of RTL and the 
BBC," said Perry Priestley, director of broadcast business development at 
iBiquity Digital. "But it doesn't really suit commercial broadcasters with only 
one channel. We've been hearing from European broadcasters who say 
'DAB doesn't benefit us', partly because it's expensive to implement."

The European HD Radio Alliance, of which Priestley is treasurer, was 
formed at the beginning of October to promote the technology on the 
continent. Its chairman, Juerg Bachmann, former managing director of 
Energy Zurich in Switzerland and now head of digital projects at the station's 
parent group, Goldbach Media, explained the need for the Alliance: "With a 
number of countries in Europe testing or deploying HD Radio technology, we 
believe that now is the right time to form an organisation to share our 
experiences and help co-ordinate our collective marketing efforts."

When IBOC was first proposed for digital radio the European radio 
technology industry criticised it on the ground that it was unstable and prone 
to interference. Another objection was that the patents are owned by a single 
company, which charges fees for use. Perry Preistley at iBiquity responds 
that HD Radio is used successfully by 50 to 60 stations in New York, while 
on the licensing question he says, "DRM and DAB have licences for the 
technologies but the fees go to many companies through a patent pool. HD 
Radio is similar but the fees come to one company. We're using a different 
licensing scheme in Europe, with broadcasters contacting manufacturers 
direct and not paying an on-going fee."

HD Radio is not seen as a replacement for DAB or DRM but an alternative 
that could work for some European radio stations. A spokeswoman for the 
UK's Digital Radio Development Board said that "everybody is looking at 
everything", although there is currently no apparent interest in the country 
for 
HD Radio. The general interest in various digital radio systems is shown not 
only by the testing of HD Radio and DRM+ but also by Malta and 
Switzerland making commitments to implement DAB+, while trials of the 
upgraded version of DAB are being held in Germany, Holland, France, Italy 
and Monaco. - (c) Rapid TV News 2007________________________

France's RFI radio launches Hausa service in Nigeria
http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hdao-Zp-r5KbGgiVIUxARnSEhxkQ
22 hours ago

LAGOS (AFP) - The public Radio France Internationale has launched in 
Nigeria this weekend a news service in Hausa, the official language of 
northern Nigeria that is widely spoken in other parts of West Africa.

Financed by RFI and with collaboration from the international Voice of 
Nigeria, the Hausa programs will be broadcast two hours daily -- the same 
amount of time as British rival, BBC, broadcasts in the same language.

"It's the first time in the history of the international French radio that the 
editorial staff is completely relocated overseas," said Jean Claude Kuentz, 
RFI's deputy general development director, speaking of the launch which 
took place Saturday.

Five journalists and three technicians will make up the radio's Hausa team, 
which Kuentz said has triggered interest by Tanzania's radio and television 
broadcasting service for a similar collaboration in Swahili.

The Hausa service will allow the station to offer "the diversity of French 
opinions and not just the official position of France" worldwide, France's 
ambassador to Nigeria Yves Gaudeul said.

English is Nigeria's official language________________________

SW Radio Africa - Singing for Supper
http://allafrica.com/stories/printable/200712100279.html
The Herald (Harare)

OPINION
10 December 2007
Posted to the web 10 December 2007

By Mabasa Sasa
Harare

SOMETIME in late 2001, a lady by the name Gerry Jackson set up 
something anomalously called SW Radio Africa in London and began 
beaming her anti-Zimbabwe propaganda into the country.

A month after the radio station had started its operations, the UK Guardian 
paper reported that a shady department of the United States International 
Development Agency was pouring millions of dollars into the propaganda 
tool as part of Washington's wider illegal regime change agenda.

This was hardly surprising. We all knew that Gerry Jackson, fired by ZBC a 
few years earlier, simply did not have the money to run the station and that it 
was costing around ?100 000 every month to relay her vitriol into the country 
via short-wave.

Everyone knew that there was a malicious hand that was dropping pennies 
into her pockets and that the station's entire editorial policy was hardly 
Zimbabwean and totally unAfrican.

The Guardian reported that there was evidence linking SW Radio Africa and 
Usaid's Office of Transition Initiatives: a body that has experience in 
destabilising nations -- particularly in the former Yugoslavia where they 
funded the printing of over four million newspapers and magazines and 
establishment of radio and TV stations ahead of Nato's brutal invasion.

This writer also has it on good authority that the BBC was heavily involved in 
training SW Radio's workers and to date, the American government has 
neither confirmed nor denied that it funds the anti-Zimbabwe station.

Among those trained by the BBC and paid by OTI is a certain Violet Gonda, 
one of the black faces roped in to try and give SW Radio an air of "African-
ness'.

Truth be told, as a journalist, Violet is neither bright nor dull. She is 
somewhere in between, gamely trying to do her bit to justify the money she 
gets from the US government and, of course, as a sign of gratitude for the 
fellowship she got for some much-needed study at Stanford University in the 
US.

(The same Stanford University that gave the world Condoleezza Rice and 
her prot?g? and former US ambassador to South Africa and now assistant 
Secretary of State for African Affairs Jendayi Frazer.)

Violet is the host of a programme on SW called Hotseat in which, typical of a 
person trained by the BBC, she tries to emulate HARD Talk and dismally, 
and predictably, fails to do.

Of course, we thankfully do not get SW Radio's broadcasts and once in a 
while we come across a transcript of Hotseat on the Internet.

Without fail, the transcripts paint a picture of not so much as an interview 
between an able journalist and her subject.

Rather they regularly have the hue of two lost souls commiserating with 
each other on how the opposition is letting them down and how Zanu-PF 
appears unstoppable.

There was the classic case of the interview with Brian Kagoro, which can 
only be described as an affective interview in which Kagoro's undeniable 
intellect far outpaced Violet's pouting at the opposition's disintegration and 
the un-likelihood of Tsvangirai ever being addressed as "His Excellency".

Recently, we were treated to another one of Violet's pedestrian attempts at 
ruthless interviewing when she hosted the equally jejune Peta Thornycroft.

Where the Kagoro interview was saved by what one writer called "good 
expression and honest bafflement", the Thornycroft interview has no such 
saving graces.

The two appear to cry onto each other's shoulders and Violet gives off her 
traditional air of hopelessness while Thornycroft does not have the intellect 
with which to proffer any incisive sound bites beyond betraying her own 
exasperation with the MDC's total failure to morph into a serious political 
party. What is interesting about Thornycroft's performance on Hotseat is the 
acceptance at last by one member of the embedded media that the MDC 
was dead from the start and the botched attempt to fast-track into power in 
2000 is the closest the opposition in its present form will ever come to 
winning an election.

Had she been someone else, with a different value system and a better 
appreciation of Africa and Africans, her confessions about the state of 
expiration of the MDC would have been heart-rending.

She says: "Well, I think one has to really go back to the beginning of the 
MDC as journalists and look at how we covered the MDC, certainly how I 
covered it from July 2001. I'm afraid to say I was very neglectful of looking 
at 
the MDC.

" . . . but I bitterly regret that I didn't do more work in finding out about 
the 
various fault-lines in the MDC, which I have subsequently discovered were 
there right from the very beginning and I was totally unaware of it. I had no 
idea until I think it was July 2005. I had no idea."

More damning, Thornycroft tells Violet -- who probably does not want to hear 
such a thing because she carries out a similar function for OTI and hence 
the US government -- that the private media's job has been mindlessly 
propping up an MDC that does not have a political spine of its own.

"Nevertheless," she continues, "if we'd been on our toes, a bit smarter and 
not so anxious and longing for the end of Zanu-PF we would have and 
should have seen that the MDC was in trouble almost from the day it was 
launched."

And then it gets even uglier.

"The MDC is a source of some kind of employment and resources over the 
last seven years when there had been no jobs and no resources . . . So it's a 
job, it's a resource.

"As it is for the MPs -- they've got jobs and clearly what we're seeing now is 
this jockeying for positions ahead of the elections next year. It's about jobs. 
It's not about ideology, it's about jobs and I think that's the shock to us. 
Perhaps we were just naive."

And the behaviour of a good many opposition parliamentarians points to this 
fact that many have often said at pain of being called a mindless Zanu-PF 
supporter -- the MDC has not been concerned with nation-building as much 
as it has worried itself with protecting petty personal interests.

This is something that has been said for so long it really is surprising that 
there were still some within our midst who had not realised this.

But like all opposition supporters, Thornycroft is still hampered by the 
inability to fully accept that Zanu-PF is a formidable party that has a solid, 
reliable support base far outstripping that of the MDC and that is why come 
election time, more or less the same majority turns out to vote for the ruling 
party.

Furthermore, she still hankers after Western interference in the country even 
though she coyly tries to assert to Violet that the West is no longer a factor 
in Zimbabwe's politics.

Britain and her allies are as central in our politics as they were when Cecil 
John Rhodes got his Royal Charter and commissioned Colonel Pennefather 
and friends to create a Pioneer Column.

As long as sanctions remain in place and Tsvangirai continues to appeal to 
foreign constituencies rather than my voting, land-tilling grandmother in 
Uzumba-Maramba-Pfungwe, Britain remains an undesirable element that 
has to be excreted out of the system.

The MDC is as Occidental as slave-trading and apart from Tsvangirai's 
black face and biological roots in rural Buhera, there is nothing within the 
party that can have resonance with progressive Zimbabwe, Sadc and Africa.

Hence, Thornycroft's whining about the MDC not campaigning in Accra and 
Cairo is really immaterial. There is no way that the lands of Kwame Nkrumah 
and Anwar Sadat can have any kinship ties with an organisation that has its 
origins in the ideologies of the people who assassinated their most 
outstanding leaders and founding fathers.

In this sense, Tsvangirai is right to campaign in Europe, Australia and North 
America: his party is North Atlantic and he is simply reporting back to his 
financiers at Westminster and the National Endowment for Democracy, et 
al.

For Thornycroft, it is not as much a problem for the MDC to be a Western-
backed party as it is for this fact to be openly admitted and that is why she 
takes issue with Tony Blair for admitting in 2004 that his government was 
working with the opposition to effect illegal regime change in Zimbabwe.

Finally, Thornycroft despite attempts at lucidity, she is an incurable 
daydreamer who believes there has been no progress on the South African 
facilitated talks.

She is dreaming up scenarios that she would love to be true and she parrots 
them so much she ends up believing them.

For her, this false immobility in the talks is not so much about convincing the 
electorate that Zanu-PF and the MDC are not agreeing on anything as it is 
about convincing herself that the Western white factor still directs political 
developments in the country.

In the same way, she predicts voter apathy because that is simply what she 
would like to see happening.

Unfortunately for her, the writing is on the wall. If hundreds of thousands 
from all corners of the country turn up for a rally addressed by President 
Mugabe, how many more are going to vote for him in 2008?

> technology industry criticised it on the ground that it was unstable and

> company, which charges fees for use. Perry Preistley at iBiquity responds 
> that HD Radio is used successfully by 50 to 60 stations in New York, while 
> on the licensing question he says, "DRM and DAB have licences for the 
> technologies but the fees go to many companies through a patent pool. HD 
> Radio is similar but the fees come to one company. We're using a different 
> licensing scheme in Europe, with broadcasters contacting manufacturers 
> direct and not paying an on-going fee."

> HD Radio is not seen as a replacement for DAB or DRM but an alternative 
> that could work for some European radio stations. A spokeswoman for the 
> UK's Digital Radio Development Board said that "everybody is looking at 
> everything", although there is currently no apparent interest in the country 
> for 
> HD Radio. The general interest in various digital radio systems is shown not 
> only by the testing of HD Radio and DRM+ but also by Malta and 
> Switzerland making commitments to implement DAB+, while trials of the 
> upgraded version of DAB are being held in Germany, Holland, France, Italy 
> and Monaco. - (c) Rapid TV News 2007________________________
