[HCDX] SW Radio Africa closing on SW

["ANKER PETERSEN" <anker.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

12145, SW Radio Africa, via Tbilisskaya, Russia, 1630-1750, May 31, in what obviously was their last SW broadcast as they announced several times: "This is the last Shortwave broadcast from SW Radio Africa." They would continue on 1197 MW and the internet. They also said at 1728: "We wish our listeners to stay strong, in whatever prison they are in right now!". Mostly News reel in mixed English, Shona and Ndebele, and often in the latter two native languages with many English words included. Slight jamming at times from jamming stations purchased from China. Some audio fall outs throughout the broadcast. 44434 heard // 15145: 33222. It seems to me that President Robert Mugabe has won this air battle! (Petersen)

Best 73,
Anker
