Re: [HCDX] UNID African on 17645 kHz

Hi Marcelo,

it seems that you have been listening to one of the best music stations
ever! However, it could be that bad guys are behind the superbe music!
Conventional wisdom has it that the non-stop African music station is a
jammer directed to North Africa. You may enter "afro-pop jammer" in Google
to learn more.
