Blog Log - Zimbabwe


Here's a station that is not reported often, and deserves a special post.
GVH

ZIMBABWE

3396 at 1939-2010 UT on Nov 29th, I tuned in to an African station here with lively African style music and a DJ, full of exaltation. At 2000 a news bulletin by a male voice, followed by another news bulletin by a female voice, probably in another language. I heard "Zimbabwe" mentioned many times, so I think its them. What do you think? Very bad at the beginning, but up to S 3 around 20.00. When I left the radio for this they continued with a kind of religious programming.
