Re the reports about Guinea Bissau being unheard on mediumwave, I am not at 
all surprised; the station is almost certainly still broadcasting, but only 
on FM. 

Over the past few years several African countries have stopped using 
mediumwave altogether in favour of using much cheaper and reliable FM 
transmitters. For example mediumwave has long been dropped in both 
Congo-Brazzaville and Congo-Kinshasa in favour of FM (although shortwave is 
used to reach remote areas).

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.
