ecome quite rich, but the blackout has left most Zanzibarians angry,<br />

desparate and frustrated. It will still take many months before the cable<br />

will have been repaired or replaced. The authorities are still only in the<br />

negotiating stage with foreign companies willing to solve the problem.<br />

R Zanzibar has generators for the 585 kHz MW transmitter and 97.4 MHz FM.<br />

The SW transmitter at Dole, 10 kms North-East of Zanzibar City (commonly<br />

known as 'Stone Town'), is off at the moment, but will return to the air<br />

once the blackout is over.<br />

The 10 kW transmitter at Chumbum on 585 kHz will be replaced by a new<br />

50 kW Chinese unit.<br />

I was given the following schedule:<br />

585 at 0900-2100<br />

6015 at 0300-0600<br />

11735 at 1500-2100<br />

on FM at 0300-2100 (Unguja 97.4 and Pemba 90.5 MHz)<br />

The 11735 kHz outlet is regarded as an international frequency for<br />

coverage of the mainland and the vast Swahili-speaking region of East and<br />

Central Africa. By the way, Zanzibar is the collective name of all islands<br />

under the autonomous Revolutionary Government, part of the United Republic<br />

of Tanzania. Zanzibar Island is now commonly referred to as Unguja.<br />

TANZANIA 11735 Nach den Planungen fuer die Wintersaison haette die<br />

SAUTI YA TANZANIA ZANZIBAR abends auf 11735 kHz ungestoerter hoerbar sein.<br />

Tatsaechlich ist der Sender auf 11735 kHz seit Anfang Dezember 2009 ausser<br />

Betrieb. Am 10. Dezember 2009 wurde das Seekabel, das Strom vom Festland<br />

nach Sansibar fuehrt, unterbrochen, und noch ist unklar, wann es repariert<br />

oder ersetzt wird. Das Kabel wurde 1975 verlegt und sollte eine Lebenszeit<br />

von 25 Jahren haben, so dass es zehn Jahre laenger gehalten hat als<br />

erwartet.<br />

Derzeit betreibt die Stimme Sansibars mit Notstromgeneratoren die<br />

Mittelwelle 585 kHz und die UKW-Frequenz 97.4 MHz. Die Kurzwellenanlage in<br />

Dole, etwa 10 km nordoestlich von Sansibar City, wird erst wieder auf<br />

Sendung gehen, wenn die regulaere Stromzufuhr gewaehrleistet ist.<br />
