Well, apologies to dxAce
Kathy Otto, my contact at Sentech confirms that they do indeed put out the
transmission on 7380 Khz Wednesdays and Saturdays on a giant 250 Kw TX from
Meyerton.

On expressing my amazement that a government TX would put out hostile
propaganda I was told
"they pay - we transmit - we don't monitor clients program content"

But I remain sure that if the Nigerian government complained to our
government and put pressure on them, they would embargo the transmissions.

Hi dxAce, that's very interesting.
I'm going to check it out with Sentech on Tuesday (tomorrow's a public
holiday "Tweede Nuwe Yaar" [second new year - we take the new year very
seriously down here]).


Tomorrow is a Holiday here as well.

Because I still can't believe that our pro Abasanjo government would lease
a
major 250 KW Meyerton TX to slough him off.
(The Meyerton TX's are government owned and controlled)


Let us know what you discover.

Guess we'll have to wait and see on that one.
