OFFICIAL name change for thread ;-)

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.

Here in KY, ANU-Moyabi is pretty regular in the late afternoons around
2100 to 2200 UTC on 9580. Not hearing Gabon on any other frequency at
any time of the day. Around 0300 UTC, Ethiopia on 7110 and Sudan on
7200 are also pretty regular. Tunisia is strong on 7275 after 0500
UTC. Equatorial Guinea is solid in the afternoons with English
religious programs on 15190. CVI from Zambia shows up randomly at
different times of the day, propagation permitting.

Good for you, Mike! Here on the West Coast, we are largely in the
dark when it comes to Africa, although EQ Guinea and Tunisia show up a
lot. Ethiopia? Sudan? Moyabi? Just a dream - for now. Did hear
what I think was Ethiopia on 7165 one fine morning - and Uganada too
on 7195 - earlier this spring/winter, but that was a one-shot.

Have you heard Chad on 6165?

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...
