Re: [HCDX] Chamberlain, Maine USA DX'Pedition Logs: Okapi

["Glenn Hau-ser" <ghauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ross,

Are you aware, as previously discussed in DXLD, that R. Africa 
International, the Methodist service via DTK Germany is also scheduled on 
11690:
11690 0600 0800 37,46 305 190 217 1234567 271002 300303 UMC

It would also be talking about Africa! And that could explain the jump in 
signal strength you noticed at 0600. Furthermore, Okapi is NOT in the 
Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) but in the OTHER Congo, DR (Kinshasa)

73, Glenn Hauser

Sat 11/16 UTC-Sun 11/17 UTC

11.690 Radio Okapi Rep of Congo 0602-0706 FR talk and various music by John
Lennon, Johnny Clegg, etc. Numerous mentions of Congo, Congolaise, 
l'Afrique,
several clear IDs inc one at 0654. News mentioned Microsoft, Africa, 
America.
Strong and steady with no sign of //9550 or 6.030. Got this after constant
search starting on Friday: Did also hear them as an UNID from 0505-0517 with
an extremely weak signal and interference. Other station went away at 0600
and Okapi's signal went up dramatically.
