CONGO DR [non]. Hi all, This morning I found repeated piece of
instrumental music instead of Radio Okapi on 11690 kHz. It was during the
time slot 0450-0510, then I left the frequency. Audio file here:
Wonder if the station is permanently off, or it only was absent today?

SWAZILAND [TANZANIA] "Redio Sauti ya Injili" prgm, aired via TWR-

"Moshi, September 22nd 2008. Dear Harald. Yes, you have received our
programmes indeed! They are aired by Trans World Africa in Manzini
Swaziland. We are very glad that you could listen to our short-wave
broadcasts from Manzini Swaziland. We prepare the CDs and send them there
every month. These days we also send the programmes by FTP to Trans World
Radio airing them for us.
In addition to the half hour on short wave, we have more than 18 hours on
air on FM. Unfortunately we are not allowed to use the short wave
transmitter yet in Tanzania. No private station is allowed to use SW yet.
It is still a political issue. But the government is working on it. Since
many private stations can be heard through Intelsat, there is no reason
why not use short wave as well.
The range of the satellite is up to Europe. So up to now the transmitter
is waiting. We plan even to use DRM, a digital mode, to transmit on short
wave and connect further FM transmitters through it, but without license
it is not possible! Please visit our new website on
for further information. Under Technical you will
