Re: [HCDX]: VOA on 1377



I heard this station here in Finland one month ago on 11th of September.  It
was a mystery to me, becouse I don't think it was Swaziland Commercial
Radio.  I heard Swazliland here earlier in the summer as R Cidade,
broadcasting religious programme in Portuguese.  Sudden change of format?
But I don't think so...

I'm inclined to believe into what Mauno Ritola reported - that is Radio Free
Africa from Tanzania.  This would explain the VOA Music Mix -relay.  I
presume that R Free Africa is the African equivalent to Radio Free Asia and
so it would be natural in relaying VOA -produced material. But I havent
heard any news of launching this station!  Perhaps Mauno would tell us a
little bit more.

This is Swaziland Commercial Radio, Sandlane 50 kW. Often heard here
in Sweden, direction due south of here. We have excellent copy of
this using a 200° wire, when our 270 and 290° antennas only produce
Asian Sound Radio in the UK.
