Subject: [bdxc-news] VOA Studio 7 on 11735 kHz
VOA Studio 7 (for Zimbabwe) is being heard on new 11735 kHz,
seemingly a replacement for 15460 kHz, between 1700-1900 UTC
(1700-1730 in Shona, 1730-1800 in Ndebele, and 1800-1900 with Live Talk).
11735 kHz is presumably via Ascension Island and is just over one minute
behind the parallel frequencies from Botswana on 4930 and 6045 kHz.
11735 kHz was the evening frequency once used by the
Zanzibar Broadcasting Corporation and a quick listen might have given hope
that they had returned to shortwave, but sadly that?s not the case!
Thanks to Atsuhiko Takezawa for alerting me to an African-sounding station on
this frequency.
73?s Tony
(using KiwiSDR in Johannesburg, but 11735 also audible much weaker here in
Birmingham)

One may also contribute via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily to:

** U S A. 9955, UT Sat Sept 21 at 0642 is // 5850 with non-BS gospel
huxter, but must be TOM: instead of RFI in Spanish it usually has been
airing during this hour. TOMBS on 9955 supposedly starts at 0500
weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 660, Sept 21 at 0646 UT, unusual good signal with C&W music,
rivaling 650 WSM. I bet it`s KTNN. Yes! at 0648 ID in English as
``KTNN, Window Rock, Arizona`` and two other towns. Obviously on 50 kW
ND day pattern instead of protecting WFAN NYC as required,
possiblizing much more interesting listening than stupid sportstalk,
into the Midwest. Especially when they get to Navajo drumming and
chanting (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
