Re: [HCDX] QSL & Question
Interesting question. I tried to find something
by googling but no luck yet. Anyway, some sources
place Lusaka city at 28E17 15S25. So the ZNBC site
listed as "LUSAKA" 28E15 15S30 is about 10km
to 201 degs from the city.
Meanwhile, many sources indicate that the Christian
Voice transmitter is 35km from Lusaka. The name of
the place and G.C., don't ask me. Maybe the staff will
tell you that, if you send them an e-mail.
Here's some info from
http://www.voiceafrica.net/newgraphicsite/station/facilities.htm
"CHRISTIAN VOICE ZAMBIA
Our first short wave broadcasting began in December 1994. This was the first
licence granted to a private broadcaster under Zambia's broadcasting
liberalisation policy.
We broadcast from our site 35 km outside Lusaka, to Zambia and the
surrounding countries, with a 2000 km radius from coast to coast. We use a
Continental Electronics 100kw short wave transmitter and a TCI 615
omnidirectional antenna."

[HCDX] QSL & Question
QSL & QUESTION:
ZAMBIA - R Christian Voice (Zambia) Ltd
F/data card via post w/ Zambia stamps after 56 days; design identical
to
R Christian Voice Chilie. Both very nice additions to country count
at 121. (Connecticut-K Rychalsky 07/21/05)
Does anyone have a G.C. for this one? Zambia National BC is listed as 28E15
15S30 (WRTH '94 '00) which is "Lusaka." The G.C. for R Christian Voice
(Lusaka) wasn't listed. Yet '00 map shows "Kitwe" site in red, which is
also listed under Zambia National BC MW service. (WRTH '94 shows "Kitwe" in
black, before Christian Voice.) So the question of the day is: does R
Christian Voice use Zambia National BC transmitters? If so, which one? If
not, then what? Lacking a current WRTH, any info appreciated before
contacting CE at Lusaka. TNX
