Happy Easter, to those of you who so celebrate...I thought these
African signals were worth reporting, as I do not often hear them well
these days...


ZAMBIA (presumed): CVC International, Lusaka, 9430, 4 April 2010, 0554
- 0600 OTA. SINPO
= 45444 (really great!). EE broadcast with male announcer with
Christian music - very strong steady signal, OTA without station ID
after song fadeout. Matches latest A10 data.


GABON: Afrique Numero Une, 0610-?, 9580, SINPO = 22332, FF with news
items. Decent signal, QRM from ??? in form of noise.

Here's another one!


EQUATORIAL GUINEA: R. Africa, 15190, 4 April 2010, 2150 onward, SINPO
= 25311. Obvious enthusiastic sermon through about 2200, station ID
at 2159, followed by folk-style (spiritual) religious music. Said to
be 50 kW to W. Africa. First time heard for this listener. Allied
SX-190, Alpha Delta DX Ultra. It's still on right now (2210, probably
thru 2300) if you want to try it.


Note that Radio Africa is via the Bata transmitter site and using the NASWA
Country List it counts as Equatorial Guinea - Rio Muni.

Another site is Malabo, which is the NASWA Country of Equatorial Guinea -
Fernando Poo.

Interesting detail; so Bata is technically in Rio Muni?


Yes, Bata is on the mainland whereas Malabo is on an island.

Gotta get out
the NGeo atlas...for Malabo too. Sounds like EG is divided into more
than one NASWA nation. Thanks!
