SOUTH AFRICA. Channel Africa drops shortwave at weekends ---
Channel Africa monitored at 1730 on 15255 March 24 running an
announcement that as of April 1 they will not be on shortwave
Saturdays and Sundays but will be on satellite and the internet.
(Mike Barraclough, UK, dxldyg via WORLD OF RADIO 1557, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
Guess that may mean that the whole Meyerton site will be closed at
weekends, so affecting other broadcasters who use it (Chris Greenway,
UK, ibid.)
Not necessarily. Could just be cost saving measure by ChAf, not
SENTECH, which would lose a lot of client time that way. Glenn
Not only client time I suspect. Which broadcasting organization would
bother to still deal with a transmission provider that is at their
service only Mon-Fri anymore, forcing them to make other arrangements
for weekends anyway?
If Meyerton will really be closed on weekends as of April I would not
count on the whole facility to stay in service for much longer (Kai
Ludwig, Germany, ibid.)
SENTECH which operates Meyerton has had many difficulties for many
years now. Corruption, poor management which is all too real in
today's South Africa (Keith Perron, Taiwan, ibid.)
