6190 La Voz Alegre (Mahajanga) 0217-0233 28 May. Inspirational chat &
many IDs w/ p-mail addr. in Ft. Lauderdale & Havana + thanks to
collaborators (including Florida National University--which I mis-IDed
as Florida "International" University a few weeks ago--oops). Nice to
have another entry in the Canadians/Christians/Commies crew on 49M. (Dan

6260 BVB (Tashkent) 1405-28* 27 May. Weak but clear with EG sermon
(depressing, but no yelling, so that's a plus). Closing with Newmarket,
ON p-mail addr. & mail@BVBroadcasting.org for emails. (Dan Sheedy)
9680 Unid, Voice of Hope, Lusaka, Zambia, suspected, 0150, a weak but
steady carrier and occasional traces of a threshold level signal were
about all I could get here, but given the absence of any competition for
the freq I do suspect it is the Zambian. If I had gotten here about 50
minutes sooner it may have been much better, but this was a little late
for that far east in Africa. (May 24, 2016) XM
