[A-DX] Fw: BBC Word Service on 11660

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

BBC vv DWL

Da sieht man mal die Kompetenz der guten alten Bee Tante aus London,
wegen teilweise fehlender Wahlzettel wurden die National-Wahlen in Nigeria
für die nexxxten Tage, Wochen im Termin verschoben.

Schon melden DXer seit 3 Tagen in den Newsgroups
und Fratzenbuch auch durch Mauno WRTH F_B
passend zum plötzlichen Ereignis
neue Sondersendungen der BBC aus Ascension Island
den ganzen Tag durchgehend Richtung West Africa.

I guess (postphoned) Nigeria election date
(out of Ascension island) is highly more important
and of extreme political value.

Is an important item in all European TV newscasts.

Reported by me, here, yesterday (see below). Probably a special broadcast
because of the Saudi state visit to Pakistan. I have read that the
Pakistanis consider this to be a very important visit.
