ZIMBABWE 3396 at 1939-2010 UT on Nov 29th.
I tuned in to an African station here with lively African style music and
a DJ, full of exaltation. At 2000 a news bulletin by a male voice,
followed by another news bulletin by a female voice, probably in another
language. I heard Zimbabwe mentioned many times, so I think its them. What
do you think?
Very bad at the beginning, but up to S 3 around 20.00. Whe I left the
radio for this they continued with a kind of religious programming.
