Logging mostly for the unusual echo I'm hearing, which ordinarily I would associate with multipath but that seems unlikely given the frequency, location of tx (Bamako) and rx (Denver), and time of year. But who knows? The only other explanation would be multiple transmitters in use, but from where else would they transmit to reach southern Africa? So, multipath is the hypothesis I'm going with.

1721 playing African music. Interesting.
