Radio Malabo from Equatorial Guinea has been reactivated! Now I hear African music with SINPO = 54444. Many ID announcements in Spanish have been heard before.

Decent signal here in Tennessee, USA. African music S5-6.
2319: Mariaroza by Eddy Kenzo followed by back-to-back vocals.
2332: La Mirey De Fifi - Bibiane
0006: Makossa - A Extra Musica
0014: Koffi Olomide - Loi
0019: Louis M'Bomio - Edjing
0039: Bebi Phillip - Mama Loko
0043: The test loop has looped? Back to Mariaroza by Eddy Kenzo which they previously played at 2319.
0113: I either missed this in the loop previously, or break in ID and announcement then back to music.
Definitely playing a loop, this is the same song after Mariaroza that I heard earlier. Verified with the next song at 0052, this is a musical loop they are playing for the test. Hopefully they ID after it finishes again around 0128 UT.
Still going non stop at 0240.
0240: Enrique Iglesis - Miente
0245: Dorcas Kaja - Louons Le
0254: Titoye Bolabote - Ripachi Rabe Mama

Woo-hoo! One of my all time favorite SW stations back on the air.
Does anyone remember the days when they used to run personal ads and messages for their listeners in West and Central Africa during the breaks? It always reminded me of those dedication nights on AM radio here in the States in the 60's and early 70's. I hope things worked out for that couple in the Cameroon.

In Equatorial Guinea, a limited number of mostly government-controlled media outlets operate in Spanish, French, and local dialects from bases in the island capital, Malabo (Bioko), and the mainland city of Bata (Rio Muni).
Formerly Spanish Guinea, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea (República de Guinea Ecuatorial) is a small coastal country that gained its independence and current name in 1968. Its 1991 constitution was amended in 1995. Mismanagement and questionable elections in the 1990s are parts of a history of national instability.
On World Press Day 2002, the Paris-based group Reporters without Borders listed Minister Teodoro Obiang Nguema among thirty "predators" worldwide whose actions threatened the principle of a free press.
The population, under a half million, is heavily Roman Catholic and forty-seven percent urban; however, Malabo and Bata had fewer than 30,000 residents each in 1995, following the country's financial collapse and the resulting exodus of many Europeans.
Principal languages are Spanish and French—both official—and native dialects including Fang. Pidgin English operates in commerce. In the mid-1990s, the country had the second highest male literacy rate in Africa, following Zimbabwe.
In 1997, after a rift with Madrid, the government ordered state-run media to use French exclusively.
Media Activity
Newspapers that have been published irregularly and in small press runs (of perhaps one or two thousand copies) at Malabo are Ebano and Unidad de la Guinea Ecuatorial, both in Spanish. In Bata, Poto Poto has appeared in Spanish and Fang. The first government-recognized private newspaper, the weekly El Sol , was started in 1994. Spain's Agencia EFE, operating at Malabo, is the only news agency.
Radio Nacional de Guinea Ecuatorial (RNGE) supervises broadcasts in Spanish and local languages over two radio stations at Malabo and one at Bata. Televisión Nacional transmits over a single, government-controlled channel at Malabo. In the 1990s a commercial radio network was operating, and cultural broadcasts were produced with Spanish collaboration. In 1995 citizens owned about 170,000 radios and 4,800 television sets.
