I omitted the station for this one, tho you might have guessed: TWR
** SWAZILAND [non]. 11640, at 0609 Feb 16, African-accented preacher in
English, S9+18 signal, but quite undermodulated. This is TWR via SENTECH, SOUTH
AFRICA, 0600-0645, 500 kW, 320 degrees favoring NAm tho intended only for
Nigeria, and often audible here.
It`s incredible how many SW transmitters in the world are running with
inadequate modulation. Don`t stations understand the necessity for good
modulation as well as carrier power? Apparently not. As tubes are failing, they
back off modulation as a precaution or out of necessity, and try to keep them
on the air, meanwhile no doubt charging full price for fraxional service (Glenn
