Yes, also heard in Australia 17/5, to sign-off 1900 with ID, after
program "Letter from Zimbabwe".

4880 was used many years ago by the SABC, for their internal service in
Afrikaans, so maybe a South African-based transmitter?

Yes, maybe the Friday program was just additional test.
I hear them on 4880 again today, 17 May at 1715 in parallel
with 6145. They switched off 4880 at about 1725 and
returned around 1755, while 6145 was continuous.
So maybe those times mentioned at the website should
be local pm. Transmitter site still unknown.
