["Noel R Green" <NRGreen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re Martins mail  :  the transmission from "Radio Afrique International" does
not appear in the current DTK schedule, so I assume is no longer active. It
was well heard at this location on 11690 when it was on air.

There is a registration with the HFCC for JUL on 11690 at 0600 - 1000, but
to carry programmes of HRT (Croatia). The frequency is listed as "tentative"
and is not heard, so probably an alternative to what is being used (9470).

I don't know, if the programme is still being aired, but two or three
years ago there was a programme named "Radio Afrique International" in
French on 11690 kHz via the Jülich site around this time. Be careful
not to mix this with Okapi!

Alas, I don't have the current sked of Jülich at hand, but suggest, to
check this first, to rule out, that it was the not so exotic Jülich
site!
