ecome quite rich, but the blackout has left most Zanzibarians angry, desparate and frustrated. It will still take many months before the cable will have been repaired or replaced. The authorities are still only in the negotiating stage with foreign companies willing to solve the problem. R Zanzibar has generators for the 585 kHz MW transmitter and 97.4 MHz FM. The SW transmitter at Dole, 10 kms North-East of Zanzibar City (commonly known as 'Stone Town'), is off at the moment, but will return to the air once the blackout is over. The 10 kW transmitter at Chumbum on 585 kHz will be replaced by a new 50 kW Chinese unit. I was given the following schedule: 585 at 0900-2100 6015 at 0300-0600 11735 at 1500-2100 on FM at 0300-2100 (Unguja 97.4 and Pemba 90.5 MHz) The 11735 kHz outlet is regarded as an international frequency for coverage of the mainland and the vast Swahili-speaking region of East and Central Africa. By the way, Zanzibar is the collective name of all islands under the autonomous Revolutionary Government, part of the United Republic of Tanzania. Zanzibar Island is now commonly referred to as Unguja. (ibid., Benelux DXC Bulletin, via wwdxc March 4, 2010) TANZANIA 11735 Nach den Planungen fuer die Wintersaison haette die SAUTI YA TANZANIA ZANZIBAR abends auf 11735 kHz ungestoerter hoerbar sein. Tatsaechlich ist der Sender auf 11735 kHz seit Anfang Dezember 2009 ausser Betrieb. Am 10. Dezember 2009 wurde das Seekabel, das Strom vom Festland nach Sansibar fuehrt, unterbrochen, und noch ist unklar, wann es repariert oder ersetzt wird. Das Kabel wurde 1975 verlegt und sollte eine Lebenszeit von 25 Jahren haben, so dass es zehn Jahre laenger gehalten hat als erwartet. Derzeit betreibt die Stimme Sansibars mit Notstromgeneratoren die Mittelwelle 585 kHz und die UKW-Frequenz 97.4 MHz. Die Kurzwellenanlage in Dole, etwa 10 km nordoestlich von Sansibar City, wird erst wieder auf Sendung gehen, wenn die regulaere Stromzufuhr gewaehrleistet ist.
