DX Focus: AFRICA inc. 3 audio clips
« on: December 20, 2013, 2233 UTC »
Some monitoring of Africa a few days ago yielded some good results, especially considering it's summer in Australia! It includes some audio clips as examples. If this interests you, click on my blog link below:

Further to the blog post above, Madagascar is on 5011.02 today at 1940 with quite a respectable signal with French programming (sounded like some type of news commentary). Still harbours the wobbles when listening in SSB. Programming change at 1945.

Had something there around 0245 with the (quite noticeable on an SDR) wobblies, but wasn't getting audio.

Jes wondering...have you had any luck with Congo 6115 around 1700-1800?   Props don't work in my favor here, and I've tried a couple of times via Twente, nothing yet.  Guessing the path might be a bit better for you?

Re. Brazzaville 6115 - Last heard Oct 22 signing off 1829 with a poor signal and low modulation. Possibly more regularly heard here, but I don't check very often as I'm usually still in bed at that hour.  :D However, it's do-able but not especially easy listening.
