15190 - 2222 UTC - R. Africa, Bata, Equatorial Guinea - (EE) - sio:
343+ - Pre-recorded religious pgm w/ preaching in EE by M. Generally,
the sermon was on the need to trust what the Bible says about God, but
some of the individual lines were pretty amazing: "Don't let the
voices in your head crucify the word of God," "Don't ask questions of
yourself!" "Tell the voices in your head to go to Hell!" This guy was
better than Bro. Stair. Decent signal, 100% readable, though
modulation was kind of tinny-sounding. Preached right through the
bottom of the hour until 2252 UTC, one gospel vocal song, then silence
after 2255 UTC, despite open carrier. - (Sony ICF-7600G w/ 25' reel -
