ANGOLA. 4949.75, R. Nacional de Angola on both May 14 and
15 noted with JBA about 0450+; briefly noted May 15 (Sunday) with
religious song at 0510; not too often I get any audio here.
CONGO. 6115,
Radio Congo. Checked here May 14 after 0500+
and heard nothing, so a nice surprise to tune in May 15 at 0512
to hear African music program till 0530; briefly off the air *0519-0520*;
from 0530 to 0548 announcers; ad or promo; 0550 start of a religious
program (religious singing and sounded like preaching) till 0555 tuned
out; poor in QRN (static); no "RN2" (Japan) QRM. My audio (poor
quality - QRN static) at

So almost two months after their presidential election (March 20),
Radio Congo is still on the air! Nice!!
EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 5005, RNGE, R. Bata. Brief check on May
14 found them on the air at 0501 with usual repetitive African singing.
Surprised on May 15 to find them
already on the air at 0446 with same
type of African pop music; poor both days. So recently signing on very
early!
MADAGASCAR. 9480, MWV with "African Pathways Radio," 0400,
May 14. Start of the usual format in English (host, Henry Huffard with
co-host Edet Udofia); fair-good.
NIGERIA. 7255, VON, May 14 already on the air at 0551 with pop African
songs; into their IS; 0600 in vernacular with many "Voice of Nigeria" IDs in
English; fair to almost good.
