[HCDX] Cameroun fans

[Davide Maspero <davide.maspero@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,
           a number of fellow dx-ers who heard Garoua 5010 recently felt 
that my previous message was questioning the station's reactivation, and 
expressed  their disappointment in private e-mails.
To avoid further misunderstanding I want to make clear that I didn't mean 
to question Roberto's  news.
My two points were that:
1) this reactivation must be a very recent one, since I happened to check 
the frequency daily for a number of days before Roberto's tip;
2) the CRTV webmaster's e-mail,  in my opinion, does not add much to 
Roberto's own words

Davide











Hi Roberto,
              I'm not saying it can't be Garoua reactivated; let me 
however point out two facts:
- last week (until Feb 15) 5010 in late afternoon was definitely Madagascar 
(many id's and local news); I hadn't tuned them for some time and I was 
surprised to find them on 5010 sharp and with better modulation than I was 
accustomed to;
- I don't think the Crtv webmaster can be trusted 100% as far as shortwave 
is concerned; he says Garoua broadcasts everyday, but on shortwave they 
haven't been heard for years, even when Madagascar was off frequency; they 
probably have mw or fm as well and he might be referring to that.

Anyway nice if they're back; I'll check the frequency in the week-end.

Davide
