12035, SW Radio Africa, about 1715 on April 22, Richard Allfrey's
religious program "Through the Valley", segment of his program had Violet
Gonda with phone interviews with three Zimbabwe religious leaders. In the
past, I always enjoyed hearing Richard's program for his varied
commentaries about Zimbabwe. Last heard him back in early 2005. Think I
read he is involved with the ownership of the station.
Believe SW Radio Africa is a privately owned company (Richard Allfrey
Limited, 105 Crystal Palace Road, London SE22 9ES, U.K.).

11810/12035 SW Radio Africa, *1700-1900* Apr 21, strong carrier on 11810
from 1658 t/in with xmtr test tones but no audio at 1700 when prgming was
to start. A quick switch to 12035 and there it was into prgming with
decent signal and no sign of jamming. "Hot Seat" prgm with several pro-
democracy interviews by Violet Gonda, some brief music breaks, "Weekend
News Roundup" at 1745. Checked 11810 again and it had come on at some
point and was even better than 12035 so not sure why the late start. 11775
was covered by Gene Scott and just noise on 11975. Closed down at 1900*
but sounded like someone pulled the plug on 11810; audio sputtered for a
few secs then off in mid-sentence.
