TWR Africa 4760 AM 0332 UTC 3 Dec 2020
« on: December 03, 2020, 2335 UTC »
TWR Africa via Swaziland (aka Eswatini) is regularly heard here near Seattle in the 9 and 11 MHz bands, but this is the first time I've logged it down on this frequency, where it's listed as using 50 kW. I heard a man talking in (presumed) Shona; he used what I would describe as a "preaching style."

Weak but clear signal with remarkably little noise, but deep fades during which the audio was inaudible. The audio faded out completely before the broadcast was scheduled to end at 0400 UTC.
