EQUAT GUINEA [c.f. BC-DX #838] Re the Guinea Equatorial/R Atlantica
item.
Radio Atlantica was a brainchild of French radioman Jacques Tremoulet. For
some reasons R Atlantica never materialized. Tremoulet had a company in
Madrid, called Compania de Radiodifusion Intercontinental which planned to
start those high-powered transmissions on shortwave from Equatorial
Guinea, under the name Radio Atlantica. When those plans failed, there was
anyway build a mediumwave station in Madrid, named Radio Intercontinental.
This station still exists, of course under new ownership.
Tremoulet had already prior WW2 some commercial stations in France (Radio
Toulouse, Radio Agen etc). He also created Radio Andorra. After the war he
established Radio Africa in the International Zone of Tangier. Later he
created Radio Antilles in Montserrat. He was also involved (just before
his death) in constructing Radio Trans Europe in Portugal. A businessman
creating a lot of interesting stations.
[These were excerpts of my research of broadcasting in the International
Zone of Tangier].

[c.f. BC-DX TopNews #837] I'd like to add something. On the page
(photo archives)
there are many pictures of the construction work etc of Radio Atlantica in
the place called Musola (Fernando Poo). There is one place called Musola
some 65 km from Malabo. I'm not sure if there's another Musola nearer
Malabo. Most of the pictures of Atlantica are from 1947. It seems, soon
after that the project was terminated, lack of money or changing political
situation, who knows.
On that page there's also lots of pictures of R Santa Isabel and R
Ecuatorial.
Also at least one of Radio Africa 2000, a cultural station that operated
ca. 1989-1993y on 6910 kHz in Malabo. I managed to hear this station here
in Finland couple of times, but can't recall if I ever sent a reception
report.
