[HCDX] Re: 49 mb Africans on 29 Oct

["Jari Savolainen" <jari.savolainen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zimbabwe on 5975 seems to id "Radio Zimbabwe" now. Heard on 30 Oct
at 1810 in local language with this id.

Conditions improved 30 Oct a bit, 60 mb offered the usual AIR stations
and some Afros, but rather weak signals. Only 4800 R Lesotho was
strong around 1745, usually during normal conditions it is weak here.

49 mb offered the same African stations as on 29 Oct but now mixed
with weakish and fluttery European/Middle East stations.

R Pakistan was heard on 6226.7 in Arabic at 1848, s/off at 1900.
