[A-DX] Fw: Reception of Radio Kahuzi. 6210.20

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

CONGO Dem. Rep.

die letzten Tage gab es einige Hinweise auf R Kahuzi, ausgedehnt wegen der
dortigen örtlichen Wahlsendungen.

Im Juli hatte der legendäre David Foster* aus Australien die Station in
Afrika gehört.

* er hatte die Indonesien / PNG TB Listen in 1975 heraus gegeben.

Gray Zone ist jetzt zwischen Kigali und Kinshasa. 16.50 UT

Trotzdem ist nur ein dünnes Signälchen bei 6210.188 kHz gemessen zu sehen,
fast nicht zu hören mit S=4-5 oder -98dBm.

Aber die großen Ohren werden die Antennen schon gen 170 Grad auslegen. 73 wb
