Hello Beppe.  Did you make extensive loggings of medium wave DX heard in Africa 
?  Please E-mail that to me if you have it.  Also, if you know of any good 
E-mail or Web access to information about MW DX loggings made in Africa, please 
let me know.  I understand that my local WNRB-1510 is heard in South Africa.  
That makes sense since their main lobe is headed between 60 and 120 degrees 
east of north.  Both trans-oceanic and regional loggings made by African DXers 
are of great interest and usefulness to me.  I see many "hard-core" listings 
made from Europe and North America, and some from Australia and New Zealand, 
but what's being heard in Africa is largely unknown to me.  On this end, 
Lesotho-1197 and Sao Tome-1530 are the most commonly heard Africans (excluding 
the easily heard Moroccans, Algerians, Libyans, and Egyptians).  Data about 
off-channel signals (such as various Angolans) is always of value.
