Radio France International 15300 am 1652 utc 8 Sep 2020
« on: September 08, 2020, 1701 UTC »
Fair reception

1652 YL and OM speaking in Hausa, RFI's lone hour in Hausa each day.
1656 West African music
1659 Off
1700 IS, reception much better*, ID in French.
1701 Sounds like OM giving news broadcast
1721 2 OM's conversing in French

* - Upon research on short-wave.info, both broadcasts are transmitted at equal power but the broadcast in Hausa is beamed 170 degrees from Issoudun while the French broadcast is at 200 degrees - a little more North American friendly.

Glad to hear that they're still on the air.... I remember back in the 1990's when they were on almost 24/7, with their cool bumper / IS music. Those were the days.
