Sincerely!!!  If you follow solar terrestrial indices, it's pretty easy to see why these dates.  I have been checking this freq nightly, if awake!

I've only logged this in January, so this REALLY bodes well.  You have essentially the same terminator timing in January, but with the advantage of quieter conditions.  I've found a couple loggings for this in 2011, all from Europe, so it does appear to still be there; just a curious, enigmatic station.  Check out:

peep...

Weak het on 5066.28 commencing 0355 w/ noise floor at S1 and quiet.  No audio, and fading by 0415 tonight 19 Nov 11.  Same het also noted with same timing on 11, 12, and 15 Nov 11.

If indeed Candip, I find that almost inconceivable, and I say that in my best Shawn Wallace voice.  I find it really hard to believe that this little pissWatt regional out in the lawless eastern frontier of the DRC could survive Mobutu, rebel takeovers, and the general physical plant deterioration endemic to African SWBCers in general to remain on its longtime traditional frequency and sked.  The Little Engine that could, I guess.

Unid station playing essentially southern rock.

0130 Little Feat?
0134 ID, Allmans "Ramblin' Man"
0140 ID, Skynard?
0156 off

IDs seem to be given by a YL, in a low voice, and I cannot make them out.  Modulation seems thin here, although it's in around S4.
Very tough copy in noise, with a big hunk of digital snot sitting on it here.  Choppy fades.
