Hallo Wolfgang,
Mal sehen was da ab morgen laeuft.

Bei die Data bases steht die TWR Africa weiter 1-7 (täglich), ab morgen
werde ich das wieder verfolgen. Vielleicht hat sich da ein Fehler korrigiert
und die vorgesehene Sendung wird nicht mehr Aktiv.

Eine schöne Woche,
Rudolf Grimm

Hello Wolfgang.
There must be a wrong information on the HFCC, AoKi and Shortwave Info
links: HFCC started the year informing that TWR Africa will occupy 17745 kHz
between 1730 and 1800 UTC in Arabic since 01 Jan, via Ascension relay (70°
Azimuth, beamed to Africa).

In fact since the first day of 2021 there is a program in Arabic at this
frequency and time.

I sent a reception report to Manzini, and receiving an answer that 17745 kHz
is not part of the frequencies in use in Manzini or via relay service.

The question that remains: who is actually broadcasting there? It is
difficult to understand Arabic language. If we give TWR Africa a reason, the
portals mentioned above need to correct the information urgently.

Have a nice week, and a happy new year.
73, Rudolf Grimm
