Dear friends, On February 16th 2007 I heard an African station on 1044 kHz, playing HoA music. Although never confirmed by the station itself, several DX-ers found out that I had heard the new Mekele station in Ethopia. In the 2008 edition of WRTH there is a note about the station starting in January 2008. Yesterday night, January 18th 2008, I heard again a station with exactly the same programming style on 1044 kHz, lively HoA music and lots of "phone-ins", at 21.50-later on, many times with better reception than the German MDR Info on the same frequency. At 22.00 there was a news bulletin in presumed Amharic. I believe that the station in Mekele is now on with regular programming. The conditions towards Africa were generally good, because I earlier in the evening also heard Radio Kahuzi on 6210 kHz for the first time. 73 from Björn Fransson, DX-ing on the island of Gotland, Sweden _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
