What is it with these lo-performance Saharan African stations?
Somebody give them an Astatic T-UG8 D-104 mike to juice up their

Any loud clicks or test tones at all ? They may be adjusting/upgrading
the station . Who knows . They certainly can't afford expensive
stuff , unlike some of the neighboring countries in that part of the
world .

I wish - all I hear for two hours between 0600 sign-on and 0800 is a
*nearly* dead fairly strong carrier. *It's a 100-kW transmitter
according to WRTVH and Aoki, which in terms of sheer power appears to
be working well.

Must be a failure in the modulator . Very common .
