commercial, political? mentioning "partie". 0529 into a drumming session
for a few minutes, and when rechecked at 0535 a speech was being broadcast
in very proper French. This was a little clearer, and a native speaker
might be able to make something of it. I was listening for clues, and
thought I heard "Afrique Centrale" and "Bangui" mentioned. 0552 choral
music; 0557 7310 switched to DW IS with stronger signal than Flevo and
more of a QRM problem to the spur. Still going at 0612 when my tape ran
out.

Contrary to my expectations, I was again able to monitor the extremely
distorted spur on UT Sunday April 29. WHRI was indeed on 7315 until 0600,
as is the case only on UT Sun & Mon, but the spur had shifted down to
about 7311, so it was still separable, and causing a variable squeal as it
beat against 7315, checked at 0533, with unintelligible talk, just M&W
alternating in French. Once again, RNW Flevo 7310 inaudible due to high K-
index. At 0557 DW IS via Portugal started on 7310 so the spur was then
beating against that, and WHRI went off shortly later.

Could be spurious of Bangui-CAF or Lubumbashi Congo?? in WRTH page 177,
irregular 7435 / 7205 kHz, from 0300 UT. Re the unidentified scratching
spurious signal on 7308 to 7313 kHz, which I heard today [Apr 28] here in
Germany. No content or // transmission could be traced so far here. I told
them, that also DWL transmission from Sines from 0600 UT is disturbed ....
I hope that helps to identify the direction of this outlet.
(later on May 1st)
Noted the distorted audio UNID French stn (? from Bangui-CAF
5035,6100,7220 ?, or from Chad ? ) today again around [0445]0530-0636
fade-out, May 1st.
Strongest signal in Synchronous USB mode on 7311.68 to 7311.88 kHz.
Total range of the French stn at 7308.2 to 7311.9 kHz
Co-ch RNW off at 05.57:30 UT, then DWL interval signal, latter less, tiny
S=3 only. 06.29:30 UT DWL Sines off. 0636 UT fade out of French distorted
signal.

Wolfgang sent a Geoclock image of the terminator at 0636 UT when it fades
out in Germany. The terminator is just off the western edge of Africa. Of
course, 7+ MHz signals hold up for a considerable period after local
sunrise, but I suppose this means it is more likely to be further west
than Chad. (GH)
Noted the UNID a little later around 0650 UT fade-out in Germany, on May
2nd.
yes, to take into consideration:
Chad should be too far east, but start around 0430 UT is too early for the
West African countries.
! Chad starts at 0425 UT. Abeche and Moundou had also shortwave gear a
decade ago.
! Benin 7210 starts around 0500 UT.
Bangui starts at 0600 UT.
Niger starts at 0500 UT, but is always on 9704.
Togo is inactive, was always 5047, 0500 UT.
Burkina Faso starts 0530 UT.
Guinea Conakry starts late at 0655.
Mauritania has mostly Arabic, and only French fragments, starts 0630 UT.
Mali starts 0555.
