CONGO-KINSHASA 6209.66, R. Kahuzi, Bukavu: On Sep 11 at tune-in 1653
there was a stn with talks and religious mx, mainly chorus mx until
closing anmt, a short tuner melody and off at 1706. I guess lang. was
Swahili or similar. I talked to Mauno Ritola and by chance he had hrd the
same stn at the same time. We both sent rcpn rpts to R. Kahuzi and today,
Sep 13, rcvd verification e-mails from Bukavu with a promise of printed
QSL from home office in Calif. E-mail was signed by Richard and Kathy
McDonald. They give sked as: 0900-1300, 1400-1600, 1800-1900 Mon & Fri. I
guess this is Bukavu time (UTC+2). But s/off times seem to be variable.

DENMARK I contacted Anker Petersen, Chairman of DSWCI, enquiring about
the possibility of obtaining an interim verification for World Music Radio
SW txions from Karup, Denmark during 2004-05. He informed me that Stig
Hartvig Nielsen stated that Verification (QSL) designing process for WMR
txions is on its final stage. I hope Dxerûs reported the reception of WMR
txions would soon receive very precious QSL verifying Denmark.
