During the 1970's when I was very active in MW DX, June/July was always the
optimum time for me to look for the 3 big signals from Benin-1475,
Ivory Coast-1493 and Togo-1502, at their sunrise. I was in Long Island
NY then. I used a HQ-150 and an indoor loop. Togo was easy as WTOP-1500
s/off at 1 am each night.
