Over the South Pole and up and around? The Hausa are an ethnic group located mostly in Nigeria, so the antenna would've been aimed there. Do you know where the broadcast originated from?

Short-wave.info shows it as originating from Pinheira, São Tomé Island, São Tomé and Príncipe with a power of 100 kW and azimuth 20°.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

That makes a lot more sense, but that's still a long haul to be booming in that loud? I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that the Earth's core has started to reverse it's spin? We always think of the atmosphere when it comes to radio propagation, but that giant electromagnet down below has to play a role, too.

If You Know Who was still posting, he would have an answer.

Radio Nacional Amazonias from Brazil on 11780 can be S9+30 to S9+50 in the spring and summer and sound as solid as a local AM

Amazonas blasts when nothing on that band is getting out. Obviously powered by electric eels.
