Subject: [HCDX] Zimbabwe Takes Botswana to Task Over Foreign Radio
News Transmissions

The state-controlled Herald newspaper quoted Foreign Affairs Secretary Joey
Bimha as saying Harare objects to the transmission of "hate messages" to
Zimbabwe from transmission facilities in Botswana.
The Zimbabwean government is reported to have said it will lodge a diplomatic
protest with neighboring Botswana for allowing what Harare calls "pirate" radio
stations to transmit into Zimbabwe from its soil.
The state-controlled Herald newspaper, closely aligned with the former ruling
ZANU-PF party of President Robert Mugae, quoted Foreign Affairs Secretary Joey
Bimha as saying Harare objects to the transmission of what Bimha called "hate
messages" to Zimbabwe from transmission facilities in Botswana.
VOA Studio 7 broadcasts to Zimbabwe over a medium-wave or AM transmitter in
Botswana whose signal Harare has jammed since mid-2006. The nightly program is
also broadcast over three shortwave frequencies.
Bimha said the foreign-based stations, which include London-based Short Wave
Radio Africa, jeopardize the power-sharing unity government established in
February by ZANU-PF and the two formations of the Movement for Democratic
Change, one led by Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.
The issue of foreign-based stations was included in the September 2008 Global
Political Agreement, which said Zimbabwean operators of such stations should be
encouraged to return and broadcast from Zimbabwean soil. But managers of such
stations including SW Radio Africa founder Gerry Jackson say media reform has
not progressed far enough to make such a move advisable.
ZANU-PF has raised the issue of what it calls "pirate" stations, as well as
that of Western travel and financial sanctions or restrictions on Mr. Mugabe
and many other ZANU-PF officials, in response to MDC complaints that it has not
adhered to the terms of the power-sharing pact in numerous respects.
Harare's d?marche in Gaborone comes as negotiators for the unity government
parties are reportedly agreed to accelerate lagging media reform.
Media commentator Francis Mdlongwa, former editor of the Financial Gazette in
Harare and now director of the Sol Plaatje Institute for Media Leadership at
Rhodes University, told VOA Studio 7 reporter Patience Rusere that the foreign
stations issue is a red herring to draw attention from more pressing issues.
Meanwhile, the British Broadcasting Corporation made its first live broadcast
from Zimbabwe in a decade on Wednesday as BBC Radio 5 Live host Victoria
Derbyshire went on air from the Meikles Hotel in Harare.
BBC editor Lois Crompton told VOA that there were no government restrictions
whatsoever on the content of the lengthy broadcast.(VOA News)

** BURMA [non]. 17495, weak signal in unID language, Dec 3 at 1433 and still at
1522. Has to be Democratic Voice of Burma, the only thing scheduled, at
1430-1530 via MADAGASCAR. Well, WBCQ is also registered here but has not used
this frequency in years; kept as an alternate to 15420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 3 at 1324: nil on 9000, 11300, JBA on 8400, 10210
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 11640-11665, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Dec 3 at 1400,
not really bothering any broadcasters audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR National Channel, signing on Dec 3 at 1319 IS, 1320 Vande Mataram
announced and that anthem played, poor on 9425 and very poor on 9470, but no
blob. Meanwhile, VBS on 9870 from Bengaluru, same transmitter site as 9425 but
different azimuth, was a great deal better at 1329 with music, mentioned
Masala, 1330 ``Yih Vividh Bharati`` ID by YL, 3-pip TOH timesignal which was 6
sex late compared to WWV! And Akashvani ID, presumed news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI modulation in English somewhat better Dec 3 before
1400, and even better during the Malay hour following, which 1435-1455 was
almost all music, more modern than the gamelan on RRI 9680, with similar signal
and modulation. 1457, 9525.9 IDed only in English, not Malay, and immediately
cut off air before CRI Kashgar could cut on. Usually there is an overlap as VOI
restarts English and a few minutes of that goes out past 1500 before its own
very rude and abrupt cutoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6104.8, XEQM M?rida, Dec 3 at 1338, conversation in Spanish fading
in and out, then music with heavy beat; no het, but splash from Cuba 6110. Made
sure it was really not on 6105.0, where it seems we have a one-hour no-QRM
window between Taiwan closing at 1300 and VOA Philippines opening at 1400,
nominal times. XEOI was also in clear on 6010 with much better signal (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. PRES, cane across 11860 in English at 1345 Thursday Dec 3, so
quickly retuned to always better // 11675 via AUSTRIA. Slawek Szefs was talking
about the ubiquitous Christopher Lewis, who is going to visit R. Prague next
week, and wants a report from him about that. Then clips of Chris on phone
edited tightly together about PRES reception in England:
11675 is perfect every day; 11860 has some co-channel interference. 9650 in the
evening (1800) is a total washout, a shame since it`s just not listenable, very
weak, not worth the expense, due to propagation conditions, and low modulation.
Altho two days last week it was outstanding, faded out by 25 past the hour.
Suggest change of site for this from UAE to Austria or somewhere better for
Europe. France or even UK would be preferable on 3 MHz band, where Skelton is
well heard relaying other stations.
This was the Multimedia show, ending at 1349, then promo for Off Sides, a
sports-cum-music show on Fridays, repeated weekends, and then today, Letter
from Poland, by a YL visitor, or resident from abroad, complaining amusingly
about how hard it is to travel by train, due to confusing signage and grouchy
ticket agents. 1357 signing off, 1358 filling with a bit of Polish reggae, or
so it sounded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, VOT, Thursday Dec 3 at 1416, fair signal but low modulation
and cutting out, distorted toward end of Live from Turkey. Not even worth
checking // 15300, colliding as it does with France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9385, WWRB with open carrier only at 1320 Dec 3, and still 1325,
after having moved up from 3185. Next check not until 1435 when Brother Scare
had begun modulating madness sometime in the interim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Almost three weeks after `Tony Al?mo` was sentenced to 175 years for
child sexual abuse, he`s still on WINB, Dec 3 around 1335 on 9265. I wasn`t
going to bother to report this again, but there is something else to outpoint:
9265 signs off at 1400, but other frequency 13570 had still not come on at
1524, which means that on weekdays, they have nothing between the two Hoffman
broadcasts at 13-14 and 16-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5000, right after the WWV propagation info finished at 18 past
the hour, circa 1318:30, Dec 3, I heard a bit of CW, but not prepared to copy.
I wonder if this is when BPM China identifies; must be alert for it again. 5030
was in well from Beijing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Liberation Front, 1607-1629*, Dec 3, presumed with talk in listed

Oromo. Abrupt sign off. // 11805 - both frequencies fair to good.
Sun/Tues/Thur only. I thought 11760 was suppose to replace
11805 but at least today I heard 11805 in parallel. (Brian Alexander, PA)
