WCB MWV Frequency selection of 17530 kHz channel is rather poor.

MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11825, May 5 at 0410, the African Pathways Radio
hour from Madagascar World Voice via Mahajanga, is instead dead air at
S9+5 fading to S7; 0411 modulation cuts on --- but in Arabic, not English!
Talk. 0417 back to dead air for a seminute, then some music; 0420 talk
again, then more dead air. 0427 a few words of Arabic, more silence as the
NHK IS is again audible underneath; 0431 music cuts on. With only a few
languages and a limited schedule on two transmitters, you`d think MWV
could manage to match them up properly. Anyhow, 25m propagation all the
way from Mad is VG tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11650, May 5 at 0415, S9+25 peaks via Talata site,
R. Tamazuj ID in Arabish, with phone SFX, repeated IDs, song; accompanies
also VG but defective signal from the other Madagascar site MWV, q.v. 0421
also // weaker 9600 running 6 seconds behind 11650.
For the morning broadcasts, HFCC, Aoki and EiBi almost agree:
R. Tamazuj: 0330-0429 9600 Vatican, 11650 Madagascar.
R. Dabanga: 0430-0530 9600 Vatican, 11650 Vatican, 13800 Madagascar
So if I had checked 11650 after Dabanga took over, it should have
weakened, and no longer be out of synch with 9600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
SRI LANKA. 11905, May 6 at 0115, tune in just in time to poor but
improving SLBC carrier, to hear mistimesignal ending at 0115:20 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
