[IRCA] TA season - Sierra Leone

["Albert Lehr" <aelehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick,

I heard Sierra Leone 1205 here in California with their flute interval signal 
prior to sign-on at 0600 UTC on 11/16/73 and again on 02/04/74.  The only 
other African I have heard is Senegal 764.  
One station I will be looking for this season is Canary Islands on 621 kHz;  
not quite African, but close to it.  A carrier appeared here several times last
season at around 0230-0400 UTC, and once I heard audio that seemed to be 
Spanish.  It will require very careful listening, as 620 has Spanish from XESS 
and Portuguese from KIGS.
