Re:
I know I didn't DXed shortwave since the last weekend, but I would like to thank Glenn Hauser for having helped me in identifying the FEBA religious Arabic broadcaster on the 31 meter band ! I would like to know more about FEBA ! What is the purpose of this station ? Is it a new SW broadcaster ?... Is it related in a way or another to TWR (Trans World Radio) ? Is FEBA considered as shortwave DX catche or as a major international broadcaster, therefore a pest ? I'm puzzled on the difference between shortwave DX and SWLing... I guess I'm somewhere in the middle, although closer to a SWLer than to an FM, shortwave and mediumwave or longwave DXer !
FEBA is an old SW broadcaster on the air for many years. It started out in the Seychelles, and then lost its license there, or it became too expensive to operate, so now it buys time on a number of different transmitter sites. Far East Broadcasting Association it originally meant as an offshoot of FEBC in the Philippines/USA --- even tho it specializes in Africa and parts of Asia closer than ``Far East``. It`s just another gospel huxter. No transmission from the 250 kW units in Rwanda can be considered real DX, if that makes a difference to you. It`s separate from Trans World Radio, tho there is a certain degree of cooperation among them and others in specializing in certain exotic languages. They all have a common goal: changing people`s religions from whatever to Protestant Christianity.
73, Glenn Hauser
