*******SA BANDSCAN UPDATE******
I've checked out the band some more and possibly come up with a few more
answers,corrections & additions;

(Jean Burnell , you asked me about some of these......)

594 19h30 Definitely no sign of Namibia. NBC 3290 was on at 19h30 with ID's
etc but 594 (& 747 for that matter) were open freq's.
846 20h10 ITALY Radio Duo. ID & 80's pop mx, fair w R.Xhosa nulled. (Used to
be fairly regular before R.Xhosa came on air)
1062 19h49 UNID w AA style music to NE bearing. (didn't sound like Nigeria),
very weak.
1206 MOZAMBIQUE - Still don't have a definite "EP de Inhambane" ID on this
one but did note a few mentions of Inhambane @ 20h00.Will check further.
1377 19h51 PORTUGAL (TENTATIVE) w Swazi nulled. Football comm in PP, some
teams mentioned were Porto, Boavista & Sporting Braga. <Is there still the
Porto txer on this fqy and is it 10KW?> No sign of the Tanzanian here,
Jean....
1485 19h55 UNID (w local R.Today nulled). In PP w mentions of Luanda so more
likely Angola than Azores, poor. (no het noted Jean)
1539 The German I noted here is ERF(not DLF) (Thanks to those who pointed
this one out)
1566 The "AA UNID" I noted might still have been AIR (which I have heard
before). I didn't hear any speech, just music which to my ear could have
been from the Middle East or India,  couldn't quite decide which. Will check
out this fqy some more.

regards Vince
