ASCENSION. I am unusually bandscanning between 05 & 06 UT Dec 27,
so some `new` frequencies catch my attn on 49m, in unknown language:
6170 at 0525 and 6135 at 0538. HFCC shows both are in Hausa, half an
hour each, VOA first and BBC second. Convenient pair, could be same
transmitter? Both are on a 547 antenna, but VOA is 250 kW at 27
degrees, and BBC is 125 kW at 65 degrees - quite a disparity. 65 aims
at the SE corner of Nigeria, but 27 aims at Ivory Coast considerably
to the west of any Nigeria. HFCC antenna reference shows 547 is
``EHR(S)2/2/0.8`` whatever that mean.

Hausa is a language for which I have no ``feel`` at all - there must
be some keywords to recognize it, like however they say ``this is`` as
in an ID. Did Dr Richard E Wood`s language recognition series ever
cover Hausa? Don`t call me Hausar. Google translates ``This is the
Voice of America`` as ``Wannan ita ce Muryar Amurka`` but I don`t know
if they axually say that. It`s mainly spoken in northern Nigeria but
also: ``Hausa is one of Africa's most commonly spoken languages after
Arabic, French, English, Portuguese, and Swahili. It is a lingua
franca and a language of trade in West Africa. It is spoken in Benin,
Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo,
Eritrea, Germany, Ghana, Niger, Sudan, and Togo`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
