SWLing Post readers have no doubt been wondering, along with the rest of us, about the status of
Radio Kahuzi, the religious missionary station in Democratic Republic of Congo.
The station has been off the air for months, following a lightning strike in 2020 and various ongoing problems with power supply there in DRC.
Now, a note from Richard McDonald, founder of Radio Kahuzi, who says that they hope to be back on the air soon, though no timeline is provided.
For those who are not familiar with the station, it used a slightly off frequency of 6210.2 kHz in the 48 meter band. This was within the area of European pirate stations, and various broadcasters transmitting to North Korea and Iran, but propagation was usually such that Radio Kahuzi could be heard at European SDR sites in the hour or so before station sign off in the 1800 to 1820 UTC range.
