Thanks MDK2, but the question remains unresolved as to 4.930MHz, no talk, no ident, just continuous African music.  Maybe a test for things to come... ???

Regarding 4.830MHz, I have heard Asian language there, possibly Radio China outlet.

Jack,

MDK2 is correct. This is VOA Moepeng Hill, Botswana. Regularly heard here in Melbourne in our early morning period with continuous Afro music. Always great listening, too!  73 de Rob VK3BVW
