Re: [IRCA] Tanzania 1377

[James Renfrew <jim.renfrew@xxxxxxxxx>]

The few African signals on so many empty channels those heavy auroral
nights made me wonder if there are any stations at all remaining on MW or
if they are running very low power.  The absence of Nigerian signals alone
was indicative of few being on the air.  The only Nigerian station we've
heard lately is 917.  Jim Renfrew

Thank you Jim and Neil,

At least something to cheer about after an average season... How nice it
would be if Africa could offer more mediumwave stations to look for like
Latin America for instance, where tons of AM stations still operate
successfully.
