I had this particular station yesterday, July 16, well before 1700Z with lively East African pop music programming.  they went into news at the hour, male and female presenters, with lower audio (that or quiet speakers) compared to the songs they'd been playing.  Many mentions of Uganda, and some sort of chirpy possible identifier tone similar to what Brazil will occasionally use in programs, but this was right on top of other audio, not during pauses in speech.  Not quite a time pip.  SINPO 43354, deep fades but very good otherwise. 

I'd been trying to figure out who the heck this was, spotted this topic and--gotcha! 
Madison, WI, U.S.A. 
Tecsun PL-660, Yaesu FT60R handheld, and Realistic DX-398 (back up and running!) 
QSL's appreciated 

There's a geeklady turning that dial!
