917 Radio Gotel Yola, Nigeria into Michigan 0125 UTC 8/10/2016
« on: August 11, 2016, 2351 UTC »
I wasn't expecting this one at all and had my sights set on Latin Americans with the D-KAZ pointed towards the south.  Then I noticed some weak Middle Eastern TA carriers coming through at the high end of the band, so I reversed the antenna and aimed north and started dialing around.  917 is an oddball frequency and doesn't fit the usual 9 kHz spacing.  As far as I know, Nigeria is the only occupant on 917, and there it was on my waterfall showing some weak modulation patterns!  So a new log, and a new country, and completely unexpected:
