Hi, Glenn. VOH-Africa plans to test 4965 from 2000-2200 UT tonight and
tomorrow night (Thu & Fri). We expect the station may be audible
occasionally in North America later in the year once we start using the NW
beam to West Africa, but the daytime frequencies on the omni antenna to
Central and Southern Africa stand little chance of making it over here.
Still, we are getting reports of good reception in the intended target
areas, which is what counts. We did get one report last week of direct
reception of 6065 in the late afternoon in Germany, though, which was
encouraging!
Ray.

Has VOH started testing planned night frequency 4965 yet? Aoki has nothing
but Brasil and Perú on it, of questionable activity (Glenn Hauser, OK,

ZAMBIA 9680 Voice of Hope, Zambia.
Good reception of Voice of Hope on Thursday March 24. Test transmission on
9680 kHz heard well from tune-in at 0805 UT through to sign off at 1359* UT,
following a brief 1 kHz sine wave. Throughout the day the signal was
generally around s5-s7, peaking quite often at about s7-s9. A second or so
after VoH went off at 1359* UT, I heard very faint time pips, then silence.
Presume the time signal was from CNR1 as just pointed out by Glenn. But
there was no CNR1 programming audible here prior to that.

VOH-Africa plans to test 4965 from 2000-2200 UT tonight and tomorrow
night (Thu & Fri).
And so it happens. Carrier on at 2007, modulation applied at 2008, the
already known music with interspersed announcements. Signal in Europe
about 4 dB weaker than IBB Botswana on 4930.
Until 2004 there was a very faint carrier (or other RF signal) on 4960.
