[HCDX] Africa loggings

["Jari Savolainen" <jari.savolainen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

SOUTH AFRICA 3280 R Veritas via Meyerton. 14 May at 1733
in EE with ID. Scheduled 1600-1900 on this fq.

MADAGASCAR 3287.5 RTM Antananarivo. 14 May at 1745 also
good on parallel 5010. Nowadays stays on very late.

GHANA 4915 R Ghana, Accra. 15 May at 2010 EE, parallel 3366.

LIBERIA 5100 R Liberia, Totota. 15 May at 2110 EE news.

ZIMBABWE? 5975 African station 15 May at 2000. Most UT
evenings audible with African music and at least part of the
program is in EE. Splatters from 5980 and also other stations
on the fq make it hard to id but once at 1900 I heard them
mention "Radio 3". Tent. ZBC.

SIERRA LEONE 6137.8 R UNAMSIL, Freetown. 15 May at 2210.
Decent carrier but very low audio. Had EE phone-ins with some
music bridges. Couple of times mentioned the station name
when taking a new call. Did not get the audio on LSB due to qrm. Maybe they
use only USB+carrier.

MADAGASCAR 7130 MBS. 15 May at 1830. At times peaks up
nicely with EE pops and MBS id's. This time I heard myself
them mentioning "84.4" in FF as Mahendra told earlier. This is
strange, if they refer to FM frequency. Or do they use also
"low-FM" there?

SUDAN 7200 SNBC Omdurman. 14 May at 1858 with AA news.
Ending news with "...idhaa tul gumhuriya as Sudan...".
Mentioned Omdurman, some music and off at 1902.

CONGO D.R.? 7435 unid. 15 May at 1720 onwards. French and
local languages. Lot of talk about Congo, also Burundi often
mentioned. Some songs also are mentioning frequently Congo.
Some days close before 1900, sometimes continue longer.
Splatters from 7440. Both sidebands and carrier. No id
heard so far.

And to mention one non-african,
NBC Port Moresby 4890 was audible 15 May at 1950.
Very nice to hear them in May.
