Default Some African Vacation Logs

SRTC, Omdurman, Sudan on 7200 at 0400 UTC in Arabic. African tribal
music up to TOH, time pips, then an ID and into nx by deep-voiced man.
SIO-444, seemingly stronger every night. ARO QRM not too bad, for a
change. (Bryant – KY, Eton E5, June 14)


R. Ethiopia, Ethiopia, on 7110 at 0330 UTC in Amharic. YL in lang
sounding like a cross between Arabic and African vernacular. Horn of
Africa mx. M w/ “E-tea-o-pia” ID at 0345. Only broadcaster heard below
7200 on 40 meters. SIO-343, pretty good. (Bryant – KY, Eton E5, June
14)


RNT, N'Djamena, Chad, on 6165 at *0428. Wonder if something’s up in
Chad? Supposed to be signing on in French, but just playing a loop of
African melody, being played on xylophone-type percussion instrument.
SIO-343. (Bryant – KY, Icom R75 & Eton E5, June 14)
