Re: [HCDX] Re: Pakistan on 4955

["Noel R. Green" <nrg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re Andy's message - the BBC have been speaking about
Eidul Fitr Day [the first day of Id al-Fitr] in news programmes today, and
this apparently signals the end of Ramadan fasting. It will be either
Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

Obviously, the new Pashto language service at 1445-1515 will precede the
Dari service at 1515-1545 on 4955. Only one SW transmitter is available at
1445, but perhaps 1260MW will also be used to carry Pashto as well as Dari.
Thanks for the update Andy.
