Cumbre off 17520 kHz? - without notice
Can anyone check 17520 kHz before 1630 UT, or even after? While DXing with
Cumbre is on the WHRI1 webcast, I cannot detect even a carrier on 17520
kHz where it was heard for the last few weeks; and 16m is hopping with
other signals.
[...] Then I check the WHR online sked and find that this transmission
has been moved without notice to 21630 kHz. A signal barely detectable
there, so I suppose DWC was on it from 1600 UT. Program wrapped up early
at 1624 UT, but theme played for 5 minutes on webcast.
21630 kHz signal much weaker than Portugal 21655 kHz, even Spain on 21610,
21570 kHz.

SW Radio Africa broadcasts jammed despite unity government
The audio clip above reveals what Zimbabweans heard yesterday when they
tuned into SW Radio Africa (SWRA) to hear impartial objective Zimbabwean
news. It is a further act of censorship, another effort to suppress free
speech and the right of Zimbabweans to access information.
SWRA have done an incredible job ensuring news-deprived Zimbabweans still
have access to impartial objective information despite the Zanu PF
government's passing of repressive legislation like the Access to
Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA). This oddly named piece
of legislature has served to deny independent media sources permission to
operate newspapers, radio or TV in Zimbabwe. SWRA, broadcasting from
outside Zimbabwe on short wave, have managed to provide independent news
to parts of the country that email and online news sources cannot reach.
As such they have been a lifeline of information to oppressed
Zimbabweans.
