Voice of Tanzania-Zanzibar loggings
Not exactly the easiest catch to nab on shortwave, but here are two fine examples from recent observations.
GVH
TANZANIA 11735 V. of Tanzania-Zanzibar July 05 1632-1650 44444 Swahili,Talk and arabic mx, ID at 1644 and 1647. (Kouji Hashimoto-JPN, JPNpremium July 21)
11735, 1756-, Radio Zanzibar Jul 21 Strong S9 to S9+ reception with mild tx hum, but otherwise excellent modulation. Great audio! A real pleasure to listen to and an example of what broadcasters should strive for! Tanzania-Zanzibar mentioned at 17:59 then IS (drums), time pips, and then into English (from Swahili). 'The time is 9:00', and into news. When I rechecked at 18:15 they were no longer in English. Some splash noted from VOA via Morocco, so LSB best.
