Radio Guinée 9650 AM 2320 UTC 9 Oct 2019
« on: October 09, 2019, 2336 UTC »
Conakry seems to be reliably back for the fall/winter season out here near Seattle.

In the past couple weeks, I've heard traces of Radio Guinée in the local afternoons here, but today I had audio using just my radio's whip antenna. Listened between about 2320 and 2339 UTC today, hearing mostly Afropop music until the station signed off (they almost never stay on until 0000 UTC as scheduled).

They are quite well heard in Europe especially in the 2000 UTC to 2330 UTC time frame and of course since it would be close to midnight local time it seems that a lot of African stations do shut down around that time period. Congo Brazzaville when heard via SDR usually out of Southern Africa or Europe seems to shut down about 1800 or 1900 UTC on 6115 when they are operation. Used to be able to hear them gangbusters in the Eastern North America at one time on 4765 with 500 UTC sign on during the 1990s and early 2000s but that frequency has been inactive for years. Too bad as well because they had interesting music and drums being played. From my old shortwave log books they were also on 9610 khz at one time probably back in the 1980s or so but that is probably another transmitter either destroyed in war or cannibalized for parts for the other ones.
