ETHIOPIA Radio Oromiya 6030 kHz now officially launched.
"... The Oromiya Regional State government has spent 110 million birr
[about 1m US dollars] on purchases of studio equipment procured for the
television and radio station built at Adama city, capital of the state.
The announcements came on Tuesday [25 March] at the inaugural [ceremony]
of the Oromiya Radio station, which just went on air..."
DXers have been hearing this new station testing for the past few months
on 6030 kHz. The WRTH Update page gives the schedule as 0400-0700 and
1555-2100 UT.

FRANCE For Liz Cameron and others: Radio France Int'l had been listed in
Aoki for B07 from South Africa on 15160 at 1600-1700 UT. Unfortunately
this channel was not used, and thus RFI stopped using this relay for the
English program at this time.
So we were stuck with only one channel 11615, then 15605 in B07, yet the
signal at my location was quite good. It's a shame that for an area of
importance, only one SW channel was in use, compared to the 80's "Paris
Calling Africa" era when even in ENAm one could tune to a choice of 8-10
frequencies from 13 to 25 meters.
