News: +++ Radio Madagasikara reported on 5014.2v with unstable carrier at usual times +++ Eritrea not heard on 7175v recently, but 7100 occasionally // 4700, 9705. +++

Questions, queries, mysteries, missings: +++ A little excerpt of a report by Ilpo Parviainen, found in DXLD 1316: "Goldrock has recently revamped 2 NEC for the Uganda broadcasting corporation with success and are currently on Air." So where is the 2nd? +++ In Oct. 2011, a 25kW SW outlet for EP do Moxico, Angola, was reported to be underway. It is of course not impossible that the one planned for 7245/11955 in 2006, still unheard, may come into use. +++ Nigerian Newspaper reports on new SW station from Cameroon in summer 2012, frequencies mentioned: 4.2/5.2 MHz (might of course be misunderstanding, as often in such reports). See DXLD 12-33 +++ Currently missing or unreported: 3390+6030 ICDI, 7125 Guinea, 6250 Malabo, 7245 Mauretania, 9705 Niger... Give them a try! +++
