Do you know anything about the following report?

** MOZAMBIQUE (probably). 7135, R. Terra Verde, a SW relay of an FM
station in Maputo said to have strong links with Renamo (previously a
terrorist movement, now the official opposition party, who used to run
A Voz da Africa Livre many years ago). Noted from 1100 tune-in to
almost 1800, but gone at 1900 re-check. In vernaculars, but mainly in
Portuguese with PT news at 1300 and 1700. Probably a test; they
mentioned being heard in almost all Mozambican provinces and in Zambia
and Zimbabwe. No contact details have been offered. A very good signal
here, but I doubt that this is a Meyerton relay -- the frequency moved
up 0.08 kHz in a couple of hours, and this would be quite
uncharacteristic of Sentech. Noted again yesterday and today but I did
not have a chance to check the s/on and s/off times yet (Vaclav
Korinek, RSA, DXplorer via DXLD) Date? Not 1 April by any chance? (gh)

I'd be interested to know if they have an early morning schedule.

Thanks

Thanks, I'd be very interested to know if they are indeed there, as will be many

At 0430 only RFI, R. France Int. on air in FF with powerful signal.
I doubt they would try to beat that

That's unfortunate as they are certainly not going to propagate here at the time
indicated in the original post.

Thanks for taking a look.
