5100 kHz Radio Bana, on Feb 9 at 0400-0432+ UT, I woke up early to try
for this and was surprised to tune right into English ID "This is Radio
Bana ... (..dale) broadcasting ... on... every day 7- and in addition
every friday from ...-6.30PM on Saturdays from 6.30 to 7PM on mediumwave
10.. kHz and on shortwave on 5.1 megahertz in the 60 metre band", right
into vernacular land programme consisting of local songs and short
announcements by female and male announcers alternately. 0410 "radio Bana
... meterband" ID, and 0430 repeated twice, so ID wise is DXer friendly,
hi. The times above are what I could make out of the tape and very tent.

Auf 5100 kHz hoerte ich von 0454 bis zum fade-out um 0530 Uhr einen mir
unbekannten Sender. Weder das WRTH noch der Siebel konnten mir
weiterhelfen. Die Musik liess auf Afrika oder eine Sendung fuer Afrika
schliessen. Sprache war ab 05.00 Englisch. S=2 0=2.
Hat jemand die gleiche Beobachtung gemacht und weiss mehr?
