Guinea -- One of the Last Holdouts
 

I used to listen to Radio Conakry way back in the 60's and 70's -- it
was on 9,650 and often came in like a local, and now as shortwave
continues its decline it's nice to hear Guinea as a regular once again,
although one wonders how long it will continue. As I type this
at 0716 UTC they're coming in still quite well on 7.125 as others
have noted recently....get this one while you can because I'm certain
it will go the way of so many other African stations...

I sure would like to extract a QSL outta them. I know a few have of late, but it
seems to be sporadic at best.

Well it's pouring buckets here in the Chicago suburbs as we speak, and I'm nice
and dry with the cans on, enjoying Guinea, Conakry on 7125khz. It's 0740 UTC,
and the JRC NRD-535D S-Meter is reading a steady 5dB/S-9, with a clean well
modulated signal. I wonder if they would QSL, if I sent them a recording of the
program I'm monitoring. Good DXing to you, Gary
