Today (St. Paddys Day) sees RTE crank up the shorwave gear and point it towards Africa.
It's aimed at Irish people living the more remote areas of the continent who may not have access to the internet or satellite radio and who just want an old fashioned radio signal on an old fashioned radio. Nothing better than shorwave for that.
Basically the content will consist of one hour of RTE programming each day and can be heard on 6220 Khz. The main areas covered will be East, West and Central Africa.
Brings back memories of Radio Luxembourg SW....ah the good old days :-)
