Hi - last night about 0700-ish, I heard a very low carrier on 7160,
and some very faint but obviously high-level modulation of a male
voice speaking. Eibi says, and this is the only thing it shows for
7160 except for the same station, another time slot:
7160 0500-0800 Mo-Fr CAF Radio ICDI, Baoli Vn CAF
Could this have been Central African Republic? Anybody on the East
Coast of NAm get a better fix on this station?
Though I see nothing else currently listed for the freq., I somehow
doubt it
would be ICDI at that time at your location. Consider that they are
reportedly
running low power, I'd guess a kilowatt, and that sunrise in CAR is
currently
at 0425. But, who knows.

Thanks for this - I was surprised myself!

If I can stay up that late, I'll check again tonight - and then maybe
tomorrow night, since their sked suggests no TX on Sat/Sun...




7160 kHz is also a frequency often used by AM-mode amateurs.


With all good wishes,


Kevin, WB4AIO.
