Very good reception on all three, 13660 best here....I'm thinking this is part of their African Programming.  First Live World Cup coverage I have caught.

1909z YL and OM on play by play, nil-nil eight minutes into match.  5Live ID
1914z Shot just over goal by Croatia after a series of sharp passes.
1918z "Let's see if he can bend it with his left foot"
1931z "nil-nil thirty minutes played"
1932z "Croatia with a diving header off the cornerkick, GOAL.  1-0.  Twelve minutes until halftime"
1947z "That's halftime, Croatia 1 Nigeria nil"

1932Z 13660 & 15400 are barely coming in, but inaudible. Nothing on 7445.

That's unfortunate, 13660 is coming in so well I'm just using PL-880 with its whip in the backyard.

This reminds me, I was wondering if Voice of Nigeria might employ special broadcasts of their national team's matches. I meant to check their usual frequencies when this was on, but spaced it.
