{items from this and all our reports may be reproduced and re-

Some additional info to our 99-05 report released earlier today:

COSTA RICA. RFPI's sporadic Spanish noted back Wed Jan 27 at 1345
with RN transcription reviewing 1998, both on 21460-USB and 15049
which had continuous audio breakup problem. Then paz monologue by 
Willie Barrantes, and at 1530, the nominal Mundo Radial time, 
another DX program instead, Radio-Enlace transcription from R.
Nederland, which may or may not have included a DX news segment
from us - but we'll never know as both frequencies dumped off a
couple minutes later. Spanish again at 1330 check Jan 28. BTW, 
he is announcing a different address for RFPI we've never heard
given in English, with a postal code attached to the box number:
Apartado Postal 88-6150, Santa Ana (Glenn Hauser, OK)

LUXEMBOURG [non]. The Jan MNO schedule shows The 208 Sound [208
refers to R. Lux's old metric wavelength]: for one hour each at:
Tue 1500, Wed 1700, Thu 1500, Sat 1000, Sun 1300 (REVIEW OF 
INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING) Two of the MNO frequencies in use at
most of these times, continue to clash with previous occupants, and
nobody seems to care: 17630 with Gabon, 21550 with Chile, making
them useless for MNO here. MNO has 21550 0700-1900; 17630 0700-1600.
So try 9915 0700-1600, 13660 0800-1200, 13645 1200-1400, 13680 1400-
1600, 6185 1600-1800, 3965 1700-1900. All these are for Europe or
Africa; The 208 Sound is not scheduled at any hour when MNO is
broadcasting to NAm (2000-0600) (Glenn Hauser, OK, from sked via
Wolfgang Bueschel)                                             

ZIMBABWE. ZBC Radio 4 reactivated on 5012. Jan 23 0335-0415+. Tune-in
to Afro pops. US pops. Vern talk. Occasional English anmts. Many
"Radio 4" IDs. Drums at 0400 and vern talk. Appears to replace 4828/
3396 as nothing heard on these. Good to very good signal. ZBC also
heard on 3306 but with separate program and much weaker (Brian 
Alexander, PA via Hauser)                                      ###
