Reported last evening (UTC fri) on 5910 about 0345z - no English - off 0358z instead of 0458z (via Twente).
No copy at my QTH 0300z till I gave up about 0320z.

There seemed to be no fixed schedule yet. Time & frequency for the coming day is published on their facebook page (can be seen also from non-members):

It seems they were testing . I tried it at 5 just because I couldn't stay up any later!
I noticed the tx carrier, and the OM came on and tried telephone lines, said some stuff and then no audio.
That's it. Nice signal though.
I don't know what happened at 6.

From what I've heard both times , they do break out into English at times , but 95% Swahili
