15165 Voice OF Djibouti, in presumed Somali at 1553 UT, March 4. About
1623 UT I realized men were speaking French but because of severe noise I
hadn't noticed when the language changed. Horn of Africa vocal and
instrumental at 1626 UT and off at 1628:30 UT. Fair signal but mostly
unreadable due to noise. Thursdays only. Anyone know the transmitter site?

diodes shining on Sony ICF2010, - signal here in southern Germany. At 1620
