Cumbre off 17520 kHz? - without notice<br />

Can anyone check 17520 kHz before 1630 UT, or even after? While DXing with<br />

Cumbre is on the WHRI1 webcast, I cannot <strong>de</strong>tect even a carrier on 17520<br />

kHz where it was heard for the last few weeks; and 16m is hopping with<br />

other signals.<br />

[...] Then I check the WHR online sked and find that this transmission<br />

has been moved without notice to 21630 kHz. A signal barely <strong>de</strong>tectable<br />

there, so I suppose DWC was on it from 1600 UT. Program wrapped up early<br />

at 1624 UT, but theme played for 5 minutes on webcast.<br />

21630 kHz signal much weaker than Portugal 21655 kHz, even Spain on 21610,<br />

21570 kHz.<br />

(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Sept 11)<br />

21630 scheduled from Sept 5th, 2010, registered for A-10 already in<br />

Febr/March table. 1500-1900 UT (Sun 1600-1900) English to WestAfrica.<br />

SW Radio Africa broadcasts jammed <strong>de</strong>spite unity government<br />

The audio clip above reveals what Z<strong>im</strong>babweans heard yesterday when they<br />

tuned into SW Radio Africa (SWRA) to hear <strong>im</strong>partial objective Z<strong>im</strong>babwean<br />

news. It is a further act of censorship, another effort to suppress free<br />

speech and the right of Z<strong>im</strong>babweans to access information.<br />

SWRA have done an incredible job ensuring news-<strong>de</strong>prived Z<strong>im</strong>babweans still<br />

have access to <strong>im</strong>partial objective information <strong>de</strong>spite the Zanu PF<br />

government's passing of repressive legislation like the Access to<br />

Information and Protection of Privacy Act (AIPPA). This oddly named piece<br />

of legislature has served to <strong>de</strong>ny in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt media sources permission to<br />

operate newspapers, radio or TV in Z<strong>im</strong>babwe. SWRA, broadcasting from<br />

outsi<strong>de</strong> Z<strong>im</strong>babwe on short wave, have managed to provi<strong>de</strong> in<strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nt news<br />

to parts of the country that email and online news sources cannot reach.<br />

As such they have been a lifeline of information to oppressed<br />

Z<strong>im</strong>babweans.<br />
