1566 TWR Benin? 0310 UTC 25 Sep 2015
« on: September 27, 2015, 1354 UTC »
Highly tentative logging of a carrier. Sign on was 0310z, and it signed off at 0536. (Looks more like a sign off than a fade to me).

According to http://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=1&kHz=1566 TWR Africa from Benin is here with 100 kW from *0315-0545*.  I'm still working out the kinks in my app, so the displayed times may be off by a few minutes. So it seems like a good fit. Any other possibilities I should consider?

I checked the SDR recording for audio, but did not have any.

There's another, weaker, carrier visible as well.
