Arrived finally in The Gambia after a 4 hour drive from Wooler to Birmingham
Airport and a 6 hour flight to Banjul. Very hot here and glad to escape UK
wx for a while ! Location here is Manjai Kunda which is some 7 miles from
Banjul and adjacent to the SOS Childrens Village.
A very quick bandscan during daytime only revealed GRTS on 648. This station
has very little progs in English, mainly in Mandinko and Waloff. Closes
daily at 1400 gmt and reopens at 1700 gmt.
Had walk along beach from Banjul and passed the derelict site on Radio Syd.
The place is overgrown with weeds, all buildings wrecked. Of the 3 towers
two are still standing but the third has toppled over and smashed through
the roof of the main building. Guy there said most equipment has gone and as
far as he knows there are no plans to re-open the station
