UNID.  7215, *0600, Suddenly popped on with talk (probably news) by woman
in lang.  Too weak to copy the lang.  Into music bridge 0610, then talk by
woman at 0611.  Got worse very quickly and barely audible by 0612, so
Sunrise at transmitter site??  (Valko 19 July)

I believe this to be Namibia. It appears irregularly here also around this
same time, and was last heard on May 24th at 0609 and in English. Fade out
occured soon after 0618. I've heard traces of something since then, same
time. When heard last year it was doing Afrikaans so a format change. Their
web site details are not clear. Can anyone else give more details?

and :-
COSTA RICA  6105.02, R. Universidad, 0600-0607*, Instrumental version of
"Dancing Queen" by Abba, live man with announcement including several IDs,
continued "Dancing Queen", and sign off with possible instrumental NA with
voice-over canned ID announcement by man at 0605 as "R. Universidad,
emisora cultural de la Universidad de Costa Rica ?? senal de ?? popular.
Las frecuencia de la ?? FM  870 AM, 6105 onda corta ?? usted desde 6 horas
continos musica ??.  Para ?? Apartado 23 ??, telefono 675-396, ?? 5356 ??,
mismo...".  Dead air then but carrier remained on past 0613.  Clear and
strong.  Fortunately this stays on after the big broadcaster on 6110 goes
off at 0600.  (Valko 19 July)

The "possible instrumental NA" may be what a  HMV record label says is
called "Gaudeamus
Igitur" (a College song?) as sung by Mario Lanza, but heard only as an
instrumental piece via Radio Universidad.

Keep the tips coming Dave.
