Default Radio Republic of Sudan?

Heard the male announcer definitely mention Khartoum, which is the
capital of Sudan at 2057. They seem to be continuing on as of 2102
after some time pips at 2101.

Perhaps today they will stay on till 2230, as the signal is steadily
improving.

They are back in there again today, as I heard the carrier come up
at 1930 on 7200 which corresponds with the s/on time on EiBi.

Started getting some audio from them at about 2020. Best in USB at
the moment as 7200 is in use by ARO's on LSB.

I am hearing what I think is Radio Republic of Sudan on 7200 at
1950.

I had been listening to some amateur radio operators previous to
that when I began hearing some singing. I decided to check the
skeds, and indeed, Radio Republic of Sudan does use the frequency
during this time slot.

I've QSL'd (veried, for those in Glendale) Radio Omdurman, Oct.
27, 1985, on 5039, but this does seem interesting.

Aoki shows them running till 2100 when they seemingly left the
air, but EiBi shows them till 2230.

BDXC shows them essentially off the air.

Further investigation...

I worked ST2AR (Khartoum) back in 2011 - in the log on 15 meters. Pretty
sure I worked ST0R (South Sudan) dx pedition, but so far have not
located it in the log. Too many of those guys want 5 bucks "to defray
costs". Don't QSL much any more.
