songs, while R. Amanecer had just straight talk. Clearly was a different
station, so some likelihood was R. Illimani/Patria Nueva. After I was
finished with R. Marti on 6030 kHz after 0400 UT, I returned here only to
find that BOTH R. Amanecer and my UNID had signed off, with no trace of
any other station around 6025.
So your UNID was not R. Amanecer running late and it must have started
sometime after 0400 UT.

ZAMBIA Miriam Mtonga, Public Relations Manager for the Zambia National
Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC), says that the Corporation is in the
process of procuring the replacement parts for the shortwave
transmitter[s] which broke down earlier this year rendering no service to
most parts of the country. She said the tender process of procuring the
replacement parts has been concluded and a contract has been signed with
the supplier for the purchase of the parts at a cost of US$130, 000.
"Delivery of this will take about five months and during this time we
regret that Radio One and Two will remain off air in the affected areas of
the country," Ms Mtonga said. And the ZNBC Public Relations Manager said
ZNBC with the support of government, has embarked on a rural FM Project to
install FM radio transmitters in some districts to supplement the
shortwave transmitters.
