ZAMBIA 9540 1Africa, CVC, is still on the wrong frequency, 9540 instead
of 5940 as scheduled at 19-22. Or is it? Registered on 5940, but is it
pure luck that there is no collision with anything on 9540, while there
would be a collision with Iran via Lithuania on 5940? Maybe CVC intended
to use 9540 all along, and "5940" was the mistaken entry in HFCC. I've
advised CVC HQ in UK about this anomaly.
Rechecked 9540, April 24 at 2149, gospel rock, 2153-2159 extremely
overwrought dramatization with screaming, something about the
international airport in Tanzania. Gospel rap at 2200 until abruptly cut
off air at 2203* without so much as a good-night, frequency announcement,
or please-retune-to.
I say "gospel" but that is only an assumption since any religious content
is unclear, due to rapid pace and accents, hard to tell what they are
saying or singing. Gotta hand it to these stealth evangelists: they really
know how to suck in today's modern young Africans.
