I just put up a nice new inverted L and am hearing all sorts of new things,

Listening with an Icom R75, Los Angeles area, picked up a fluttery signal
on 17660 at about 1445Z, woman announcer in slow French (didn't sound like
a native speaker) with music that slowly faded by 1455Z, couldn't get an
ID.

EiBi IDs this frequency at this time as "GAB African Music", which isn't
much help. Anyone have any ideas?

This would be the African nation of Gabon, quite possibly in French.
However, Gabon also shows up (as Afrique No. 1) at the same time, in
French, on 17630 kHz. It ruotionely puts in a moderate to strong
signal here in California. Could one of these be what you were
hearing? Does AN1 broadcast on two nearly adjacent freqs at the same
time?
