Title: 7.750MHz USB mode.
Post by: Looking-Glass on July 15, 2018, 0907 UTC

At 1524z I came across 7.750MHz in USB mode with African male and female chatting in interview style format, language sounded like Somali, so maybe a Somali pirate/clandestine station?

Other African stations on lower end of 7MHz on AM coming in very strong at the time.  Wonder who it is?

Hi !

This is Warsan Radio, a local station from Baydhabo (Baidoa), Somalia broadcasting on FM and on 7750 kHz in USB with 100 watts. Not a clandestine station.

Thanks Patrick, I found it later on a monthly African Shortwave Bulletin I get from the UK, very few utilise SSB these days... ;D
