The purpose of the test transmissions is to find out if signal strength is good enough for coverage in East Africa and possibly other parts of Africa and the Middle East. And if so - what frequency (9320 or 11550 kHz) - is the better.

The transmissions will consist of non-stop reggae music. Please write and tell about the quality of reception for all four transmissions. Write to: swtest818@gmail.com. (No QSLs)
