São Tomé - Since the start of the new season, I have been checking the
audibility of the remaining English broadcasts of the Voice of America. Many
are also audible in Europe and do provide for some interesting listening (US
presidential race, intercultural experiences in South Korea).
Checking the medium wave Pinheira 1530 kHz today, I did find it at 0300 h UTC
in English. Reception deteriorated quickly against European co-channel stations.

** SAO TOME. The northeast tower of the 600 kW São
Tomé 1530 IBB/BBG medium wave relay has collapsed. The
station is now operating non-direxionally on the remaining
tower. The pattern was a wide-spaced two-tower array, with
two major lobes, one more or less northerly, the other
northeastward. So it is not clear whether this would
diminish or increase its signal toward North America, where
it has occasionally been DXed, around sign-on *0258 UT
