Some strange bedfellows have resulted from the various reciprocal relays
and transmitter leasing deals over the years.  Nothing would surprise me
anymore.  Besides, money often wins out over ideological purity.

Re my earlier comment re 4880:

Seems you were right and I was wrong. My apologies.

It still seems bizarre to me that a clandestine broadcasting to Zimbabwe
is
using South African facilities, but since the deal is with Merlin and
not
with the station itself I guess there are no South African laws being
broken.
