海外からのラジオ放送

6月30日から一週間の予定で始まったテスト放送、7月4日土曜日は11825と13775kHzがパラになっている。0619にはハウサ語と英語で電話番号が2回繰り返されている。
情報によれば、昨日3日から、フランス送信ではなく、本国Abujaからtake offとのこと。
一段と弱くほとんど芥子粒なのはこのせいか、13725kHzRFIの英語放送もきわめて弱い。
ということで今日も2か所のリモペルを同時受信、やはり受信状態がかなり違う、0642にまた11825と13775kHzでテスト放送中のアナウンスが出ている。時にはPNGもチェックのため3台同時受信もしばしば。
ハウサ語のアナウンスは一回出たのみで、0652女声と0658男声の番号アナウンスも英語のみ、0659:26に同時放送終了、30秒後にキャリアーオフ。終了パターンは同じだが。
