Radio Tanzania Zanzibar 11735 AM 1930 UTC 25May16
« on: May 25, 2016, 1943 UTC »
May fave afternoon listen in at poor level as contrasted with the last couple of years which yielded reception often reaching S9+10 with the relatively higher sunspot activity.  Nevertheless, occasional peaks making soukous and East African rumba enjoyable while melting solder.

2000 5+1 TOH pips, pres ID (sev ments Tanzania), brief interlude of taarab, then YL talk
2020 Up to a respectable S7 now, but occas QRM from a wideband ute; program of classical taarab
2100 off abruptly per usual

I'm up in Alaska, 300 miles west of Fairbanks in what's considered the central interior and I can hear The Zanzibar Broadcasting Corporation on 11735khz daily.. somedays poor, often fair at best. But some days, it is very very listenable.
