Couple of quick txs in this period.  OM singing.  About S4 and hard to understand.  The lyric in the second part may have been something like "Every time...all you hippies...That guy never..."

Shortwave Broadcast / Congo? 6115 0600 UTC

« on: February 12, 2014, 2108 UTC »

In the Cumbre DX User Group Dave Valko posted a very tentative logging of an UNID on 6115 at 0600ish which might very well turn out to be Brazzaville.  I have taken a look-see the last few nights and there very definitely is something happening there, but what it is ain't exactly clear.

Continued work needed on this; I have tried many times to catch Brazzaville via Twente without luck.
