GABON ANO 17660. Today March 11 there was a switching error on 17660,
which ran NHK multilingual ID from 1127 s/on to 1129, then the usual
Afropop from 1130 UT. This is obviously the same transmitter that runs on
17630 until 1026 and then from 1102 to 1126 and is on 21820[NHK] from 1027
to 1100. ANO no longer heard on 17630 during the free period 1130 to 1200.
After 1200 DW makes 17630 diffcult to monitor.
(later) It seems that ANO 17630 is indeed active on 17630 from at least
1200, but signs on later than the previous time at appr 1130. At my
location it is usually very weak and hard to confirm under DW and later
CRI. The short appearance between 1103 and 1126 is much stronger, probably
they remain on the northern beam from 21820 and stay beamed to the north
on 17660, while ANO on 17630 from 1200 UT has a less favourable beam, as
seen from my location.

This is interesting from Olle, and it now re-confirms what we all knew -
that 17660 is coming via Gabon. But I did hear both 17660 and 17630 on air
only a day - or maybe two - ago, and 17630 was quite strong then. But for
some reason that isn't clear - not to me anyway - on other days they
operate just one transmitter to carry ANO, NHK and the Afro-pops. Maybe
maintenance?
Also someone recently reported the pops going off air before 1530 UT. It
is difficult to comprehend the reason for the Afro-pops at all, as it now
appears to be a fixture on 17660 - easy for Amal to avoid. Glenn calls it
a distraction, but Libyan music is totally different to what 17660 plays.
We may find out one day!
