moved a little bit on image of 2010:
19 45 26.38 N 96 11 17.97 E
On image of 4 March 2010 probably tropical band / 49mb antenna,
2-3 smaller masts at 19 45 24.25 N 96 11 17.14 E
Looks like dipols of sw antenna in direction of 52 / 232 degrees.

NIGERIA 7350 FRCN Abuja, Radio Nigeria, Abuja (domestic). Formerly as
Odd frequency [indicator] approx. on 7274.86 kHz, silenced from 12 Feb
2008 til Sept 28, 2010.
UNIDENTIFIED. The unID I reported to you on 7350 kHz is still being heard
- audible might be a better word to use. But on the 29 Sept. at 0633 UT it
was better than usual, and a man and woman were heard speaking in English.
But I could only copy occasional words due to a still weak signal and
local noise. I tried to compare with other broadcasts that have English at
that time but didn't find anything comparable. The signal descended into
the mush around 0640 UT or so, and has not been as well heard again since.
It was traceable today at 0615 UT but didn't improve.

UNIDENTIFIED 7350 kHz - Noel Green in England has been hearing a weak
unlisted station in English at 0630 UT, so I start checking for it earlier
Oct 5: at 0542, 1 kHz tone test, 0558 open carrier, marred by intermittent
"running water" ute bursts; 0559:30 music and announcement, more H2O, 0601
M&W intonation sounds English, but just too weak, still so at 0615 UT.
EiBi lists on 7350, RRI in Romanian until 0500 UT; Iran in Arabic until
0530 UT, but nothing in the following sesquihour. Aoki agrees except for -
0457* and -0527* UT. I suppose this could be a mixing product, perhaps
from a major station, if we could just pull enough audio to recognize or
// it. Then Noel replies:
"The station using 7350 kHz is no longer unID. It was heard again this
morning (Oct 5) at around 0630+ UT but again too weak in local noise for
me to identify. Mauno Ritola-FIN was on hand, and he heard it via his own
equipment and then identified it by using a remote receiver as "Radio
Nigeria National Service".
It was not // with V of Nigeria 15120, Mauno says, and so it's assumed to
be the Abuja transmitter formerly using 7275, which frequency now appears
empty. 7350 kHz is audible - just - through the hour at 0700 UT but it
cannot be ascertained whether it continues or not. The WRTH lists FRCN
Abuja as 0430-2130 UT on SW, but that has to be confirmed. Noel R. Green
(NW England)".
Why in the world don't SW stations moving to a brand new frequency notify
the DX world about it? But then that would deny us the thrill of
discovery, even if it take a while.
7350, R. Nigeria National Service, presumably Abuja ex-7275 kHz, as IDed
by Mauno Ritola via Noel Green, again Oct 6 at 0612 UT very poor signal,
but they did pick a nice clear frequency; just needs more oomph.
