A gorgeous signal from RTZ today at around S9 and VG audio. One of my perennial fave stations.

2009 Rumba/Taraab blend sounds pretty neat
2020 YL tx in SW; sev ments Dar (es Salaam); thought I heard an EE T/C in there
2024 back to the mx; another rumba/Taraab hybrid; nice guitar as the response instrument; OM/YL vocal duet kinda unique
2040 More YL gab, sev ments Dar
2044 Back to the mx
2059 song over, quick YL tx, pull the plug, and go home

A very nice S9+5 signal today with a block of soukous at 1930z

1959 Pips, into YL talk
2009 Back to soukous with a Congo/Tanz flavor
2059 off after some nifty sound FX - kind of an unusual departure from the norm

[skeezix]

Around S8 here with YL talking.

Really nice signal today, with a variety of music. I know they QSLed a lot back around 1999-2001, but anyone know if they still do?

[skeezix]

Dunno, but have their mail & email address in the 2013 WRTH. Can post it if you want it.

Haven't seen one reported in NASWA in a long time. I got mine in the early 1990s I think!  In his reply he asked for a pair of running shoes!

[jFarley]

Well, I checked my QSL log, and I see 3 reports out in the 80's and 90's, sev followups, and nothing to show for it.  I do not QSL SWBC anymore; I am cured of that, I hope.

At least here, there is indication of a veri as late as '06...  http://www.schoechi.de/af-tza.html

Hope you get one, Andy!

Thanks Joe, Chris, & Skeezix. We'll see if I can come up with anything. Had a bunch of nice, clean "Spice FM" IDs at the end. From searching around, it appears that "Spice FM" is a popular slogan for stations in the Middle East. I was thinking that I might be better off contacting Spice FM directly, but we'll see.

Yeah, I don't do a lot of SWBC QSLing, but I occasionally try for one. I've probably only QSLed about 80 or so NASWA countries.

Chris: I guess he might've gotten his shoes if he'd've sent the request to you without the QSL

Absolutely!  

Good luck with your QSL. You never know when they might start issuing them again!
