I guess I wasn't paying attention when Verstaldin started up a thread
about this back in Feb. At any rate, I stumbled across R. Zanzibar on
11735 today at 2019 UTC. Nice, clear signal with a fair bit of music
until sign off at 2100.

Actually, a number of the African stations were booming in to my locale
today (mid-Atlantic US). Admittedly, I haven't listened for them
recently, so I don't know what conditions have been like as a matter of
comparison. In any case, R. N. Equatorial Guinea was booming in on
5005 and R. Burkina on 5030 around 2230 UTC.

Dear Junius,

Try "Afrique Numero Un" from Gabon on 15475 and/or 17630 in the
afternoon (Eastern Time). Their broadcasts are in French but they often
play the most exotic African music. The station is a real treat.

Best,

Joe

Thanks, Joe. I do occasionally tune in to Afrique Numero Un: a great
station for African pop music.

Another good one is R. Mauritanie on 4845 kHz: the traditional music
aired can be really nice.

They still carry 10 minutes of English news at 1800 on 11735 from 'Spice FM'.
