Auf dieser Transmundial Seite gibt es eigentlich nur einen Hinweis auf TWR<br />

/ ERF weltweit, auch nach SuedAfrika, aber nicht CVC.<br />

<br />

4990 CVC via Meyerton-AFS.<br />

Warum sollen die aus Afrika nach Brasilien senden? und dann noch auf<br />

dieser niederen Frequenz ueber diese Entfernung, wenn sie eine eigene<br />

starke HARRIS Station in Chile mit 100 kW Sender aus Pinochet's Zeiten<br />

haben??<br />

Aber auch im suedlichen Afrika leben Millionen Portugiesisch sprechende<br />

Schaefchen, die von irgend einer fundamentalistischen US Mission bekehrt<br />

werden sollen. Und da klingen die Aussendungen halt Brasil.-Portugiesisch,<br />

weil man die Dateien vom Brazildienst hernimmt.<br />

CVC und Transmundial - ist das eigentlich der gleiche Verein? Glenn fragt<br />

danach, Transmundial ist mir aus TWR Bonaire Zeiten als TWR Branch fuer<br />

Suedamerika bekannt, vor 20-30 Jahren.<br />

Still on the UNID on 4990 some thought it might be some Brazilian stn,<br />

well, it is indeed Christian Voice and you can be sure it's in Braz.<br />

Portuguese... The people behind this operation don't seem to realize the<br />

style of the prgrs and the kind of Portuguese used in the prgrs don't fit<br />

the targeted audiences, I mean they don't really match. Those people are<br />

much more used to the sort of European Portuguese than something "odd"<br />

coming out of Brazil.<br />

To put forward a tiny example, yesterday 18/5 at nearly 2205 for instance,<br />

a presenter mentioned the word "gringa" when referring to a certain N.Am.<br />

music & artist... Now, I happen to know this is, in theory, a contemptuous<br />

(Mexican) name for either an N.American or even a British, and that for<br />

some reason its use extended far beyond, thence the Brazilian also<br />

including it. Nowadays, I suppose "gringo(a)" is no longer that heavy. So,<br />

this along with many other terms, not to mention slightly diff. lexical<br />

structure of Braz. Port. simply make it inadequate for an Afr. audience
