[HCDX] DX Logs - Ralph Perry
Niger: 9705, Niamey (strongly) presumed, wonderful listening experience 1/28
2140-2300*. Terrific musical mix of Afro Jazz, highlife music, traditional
chants, W African pop songs hosted by YL with very muffled, undermod anmts in
what sounded like FF and vern lang. Signal weak at tune-in 2140 but faded up to
very decent level toward end of transmission. Flute IS heard at 2158 and time
pips on the hour at 2200. Very deep fades, would disappear 20 seconds to a
minute, making me think it had signed-off, but then would come back. OM ancr
musical commercial 2243. Transmission shutdown came after Islamic call to
prayer at 2254, then flute IS again at 2258 f/by choral NA and silence to
2259.55* carrier cut. Everything fits for Niamey, from fqy, W Afr location,
Islamic country, former French colony, and so on . . . but didn't catch definite
ID. Calling it 99% sure, though and thanks again to Brian Alexander for initial
tip. (R Perry, Illinois)
