Default BBCWS Special Ebola Broadcasts

BBC World Service is launching special Ebola broadcasts for West Africa,
starting today (22 September).

A press release at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...-radio-network
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...-radio-network
says the broadcasts will be daily at 1950 but doesn't mention any
frequencies. Separately, I have been told that they are 9915 and 12095.
Both of these are already due to be on to West Africa at 2000-2200, so
it would seem that they will come up 10 minutes early for these special
programmes. But that raises the issue of what will happen on 13660 and
15400, which are scheduled to close at 2000.

9915 should be via Wooferton, and 12095 should be via Ascension if the below
holds true.

Nothing heard here at 1950 on either frequency, but in tuning back to 15400 they
are indeed carrying news about the Ebola outbreak.

Go figure.

15400 closed at 2000, and 9915 and 12095 came up at 2000 with News Hour.

Dang, I forgot to tune in!


I don't think you missed much. Have to check again tomorrow to see if they continue to
have that news on 15400 and 13660 at 1950 or if they switch by opening the other two
earlier.

I can hear News Hour on 12095, fairly strong
but with deep fading. 9915 is barely audible. 12095 is a nice signal
into the University of Twente's SDR.
