[HCDX] Burkina Faso and Togo

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

Burkina Faso (t).
I saw Piet Pijpers' report of (t) Burkina Faso on 4815 in DXLD
3-039 and did check that frequency on 10 Mar at 1920. Nothing
heard there but instead on 5030 a weak French speaking Afro,
too weak to identify. Rechecking at 2056, the 5030 was totally
blocked by Chinese station. But now on 4815 French talks and
at 2101 news tune and news, that sounded like "Burkina-Inter".
Ute qrm and splatters from Chinese station on 4920. Just
wonder if they are testing or just move away from 5030 at
2000 to avoid qrm from the Chinese. Their signal is very weak compared to
what it used to be some weeks ago on 5030. Maybe just using exciter :)?

Togo (t)
On 10 Mar at 2105 noted a rather strong carrier on 5046.7 and
indeed there was tiny audio with French talks. So the RTT
engineers had no luck in improving the audio level and now
the transmitter also starts to drift.
