[HCDX] Another Radio Liberty!

["Dave Kernick" <dak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SWAZILAND
Observed via DX Tuners web receiver sited at Johannesburg, SA, fading in
around 1600 UT 6 January 2006 and going ota around 0010 UTC the following
day: A station broadcasting on MW 1377 kHz from Sandlane, SWZ, formerly
known as Radio Cidade International, was observed variously identifying as
"Liberty Radio" or "Radio Liberty, 1377 k of love" [yuk!]. Programming
continues to be in Portuguese and English, with lots of music - including a
show presented in Portuguese called "Cidade Tropical" - spiritual messages
and some religious programming. Reception varied from poor to fair.
A Google search only turned up one reference to the station - "Liberty Radio
13.77 AM" - with a programme guide, which didn't seem to bear much relation
to what I was hearing, even allowing for local time (UTC +2). This is on the
website of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, at
http://www.uckg.org.za/radio_programs.htm
An audio clip of both Liberty Radio and it's predecessor Radio Cidade
International can be heard at the Interval Signals Online website at
www.intervalsignals.net

Dave Kernick
