Shortwave Broadcast / 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
