This station, R. Conakry, and several other African stations were
significantly improved early this morning around their local sunrise
(0430-0700z). The Southern African relays were booming in again, and
Conakry made a fair showing of itself. If conditions stay the same or
improve, some others may pop up too. I'd love to hear Afrique Numero
Une on 9580 again - been awhile.

I loved that station during the '88 solar max. They'd boom into Texas
every afternoon like a local.

OK - looks like R. Conakry is a tough place to get a QSL from by mail
- although it looks like e-mail might be easier.

So, I am sending them a detailed reception report with cover letter en
Francaise, an SWL card I made with full data on back and a lovely
local photo on the front, a self-addressed envelope with $3 US for
postage, and a double-sided, personalized, handcrafted (well, PC-
crafted) full color, full-data QSL card in French; all they have to do
is sign it, pop it in the envelope and use that $3 to put a stamp on
the darn thing.

I even offered to give them the forms for the QSL by e-mail if they
like it (it's pretty nice if I do say so myself :-).

Wish me luck - Guineenne QSLs don't grow on trees...

Have you heard Chad on 6165

Once or twice during the Winter, but it's been awhile. BBC via
Meyerton has also been inaudible as of late.

Huh - I've been hearing lots from Meyerton (as recently as last
night), including Channel Africa, BBC and TWR if I am not mistaken. *A
few off days when it storms, but generally there. *Must be the
directionality...It is one of my most dependable catches! *FWIW, I'd
rather hear the stuff you're getting :-)

For some reason, I cannot get the VoA Botswana relays very well the
last month. *prior to that, they were regulars.

Everybody wants what they can't have. ;-)
