the quality of conditions.
 5047   5,6,7,8.12 -0004*/0510-  R Togo, Lomé. The modulation quality
improved almost daily, until 8th Dec the reception was excellent. Welcome
back!

hunters were chasing okapi, but instead if it, out of bushes came a group

ASIA

was approaching, and after 0400 UTC one could even listen to the programme.
Announcements (in English) in a very random manner. Nor full neither half
hours play a role here. Disco and pop nonstop. Heard also in other nights,
but always suffering splatters from neighbouring frequencies.

CENTRAL AMERICA

 1610   7.12.     0210-        The Caribbean Beacon, Anguilla. Tells
something about the conditions that to listen to Gene Scott on 1610 began
to feel like the greatest DX achievement of the year...

signal across the Atlantic.

 4935   7.12.     0010-        ZYF641 R Capixaba, Vitória, ES. A preaching
hour, some ads, weather and ID, and then another hour of spiritual teaching.
