[HCDX] News from southern Africa

[Willi Passmann <dj6jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I did not see these items reported in English speaking MLs I
herewith forward some observations made by OM Markus Weidner,
currently in Namibia, as published in the German ML A-DX:

MALAWI - Malawi Broadcasting Corporation is currently transmitting on
3385 instead of 3380 kHz. Even in South Africa reception is not too
good.

NAMIBIA - There is no frequency switch from 6060 to 3270 kHz at 1600
UTC. So 6060 is 24h, 3270 is inactive. The switch from 6175 to 3290
works, but there is a strong hum on 3290. Both transmitters are
operated with 70 kW and the very last tubes are used to keep them on
the air... The AM frequency 594 kHz (Tsumeb) is not in use any more.

Regards,

Willi Passmann
