[HCDX] VS: Re: 11690
Yep, that was the situation couple of years ago
on 11690. But at least on 11 Mar 2005 at around
0544 UTC when I monitored 11690 there was Radio
Okapi program, signing off at 0600. Signal strength was
a bit better than 11875 Channel Africa. The 11690
signal strength suggests this is a relay, Meyerton, Julich,
VT or what? I guess we'll soon know.

I don't know, if the programme is still being aired, but two or three
years ago there was a programme named "Radio Afrique International" in
French on 11690 kHz via the Jülich site around this time. Be careful
not to mix this with Okapi!
Alas, I don't have the current sked of Jülich at hand, but suggest, to
check this first, to rule out, that it was the not so exotic Jülich
site!
