Quoting Noel Green in dxld:
"the RNW schedule shows 7395 in // 5905 kHz at 1800-1900 UT for Family
Radio"
Actually it doesn't. 7395 is carrying English, while 5905 is Swahili. I
was not aware that the WYFR schedule on its own site was in such a mess.
If it helps, I can add the langs of the WYFR txions via Madagascar. But
I'm not in the office till Tuesday, so you'll have to wait a few days.
Incidentally, there's an additional Family Radio English txion from
Madagascar starting on 1 July at 1900-2000 UT on 7395 kHz

more sense if you remember my work on the Media Network show at Radio
