[HCDX] Cameroun fans



Dear All,
a number of fellow dx-ers who heard Garoua 5010 recently felt that my previous message was questioning the station's reactivation, and expressed their disappointment in private e-mails.
To avoid further misunderstanding I want to make clear that I didn't mean to question Roberto's news.
My two points were that:
1) this reactivation must be a very recent one, since I happened to check the frequency daily for a number of days before Roberto's tip;
2) the CRTV webmaster's e-mail, in my opinion, does not add much to Roberto's own words

Hi Roberto,
I'm not saying it can't be Garoua reactivated; let me however point out two facts:
- last week (until Feb 15) 5010 in late afternoon was definitely Madagascar (many id's and local news); I hadn't tuned them for some time and I was surprised to find them on 5010 sharp and with better modulation than I was accustomed to;
- I don't think the Crtv webmaster can be trusted 100% as far as shortwave is concerned; he says Garoua broadcasts everyday, but on shortwave they haven't been heard for years, even when Madagascar was off frequency; they probably have mw or fm as well and he might be referring to that.


Anyway nice if they're back; I'll check the frequency in the week-end.

Davide

Hi,
do you have a positive id of this one?
Garoua has been off the air for ages,
Madagascar is usually on 5010 at this time
(at least here in Finland).
