VOA 11900 KHZ @ 20:12 UTC 12 Jan 23
« on: January 12, 2023, 2025 UTC »
in French with YM/YL co-hosts with lively, upbeat French Caribbean music:

14:16  "DIBANGO , DIBANGA" by Bello Falcao
14 19   "RUSH" by Aya Starr
14:22. "NO WAHALA" by Ida Banton

SINPO: 33343 on the 7700 but nothing on the 990 both using the same Alpha Delta full Sloper. Never had this comparative deafness on the Tecsun before. Go figure.

TARGET :  W. Africa
TX:  SAO TOME

QRT: "This is VOICE OF AMERICA signing off". @ 20:30

I had 12075 which is a simulcast of 11900 and there was no sign off, just carrier cut 12075 was 44444 or better here... 11900 was just a tad weaker and noisier

Turns out the Tecsun problem was actually a faulty antenna connection.
