today Feb 13 at 1530-1535 UT noted Spanish nx read by female staff reader,
signal just above threshold.

Jakarta Cimanggis at 1715 UT. In peaks up to S=9+20dB at 1715-1720 UT with
newscast program, which read slowly by charming exotic female reader. ID

From RNW Media Network:
http://blogs.rnw.nl/medianetwork/radio-mada-internationale-on-the-web
"Radio Mada Internationale, the clandestine shortwave station supporting the
deposed president of Madgascar Marc Ravalomanana, also has a website at
<radiomada-int.blogspot.com/> and a YouTube channel at
<www.youtube.com/user/radiomada>
The website contains audio files of the station's broadcasts. As far as I
can see, the station doesn't as yet have its own logo."
