Hi Bernd.
Thanks for the info.
That website was new to me, althought I had been
going thru several Eritrea related education pages.

Yes, on some occasions they referred also to Bana Radio,
but usually mentioning Radio Bana.

Yep, it is actually a radio program, not a new station.
5100 is at times really badly covered by ute stations,
so usually no armchair listening :-)

Thanks again for your help.

73, Jari
