(wb, May 2)
It seems that despite the adverse time of the day, propagation still
allows some signal to be detected here, viz. on 7312.6, as observed today,
2 May 1251 UT, so the question is now to get it strong & clear enough for
ID.
Here's my today's observation, 1300 UT on May 2nd:
7284.5 MLI vy. faint, // 11960 at 55444 but w/ clipped audio.
7275 NIG nil
7270 GAB nil
7245 MTN weak but readable, adjacent DRM QRM 7240.
7230 BFA just whisper, though strgr. carrier than UNID 7312.6.
7221 BEN? vy. weak carrier.
7125 GUI nil
9704 NGR 35332

So how far east in NoAfrica do 7+ MHz signals hold up as late at 0636 UT?
I suppose this means it is likely to be further west than Chad, or does
it?
(later)
On UT May 2 I was finally waiting for it early enough to hear it pop on at
0429 with music; some talk at 0433, 0437 back to music. Just too distorted
and too much ChAf from 7310 to make any more of it. But that scheduling
does point to Chad. Of course, 6165 is blocked here at that hour by
Bonaire. If it were a mixing product with MW there would have to be
something on 1148, unlisted and unlikely. Could be 6165 transmitter is
very badly mistuned. Is anyone currently hearing it at any other time? Or
maybe they have tried to retune it to a 41mb frequency. Or maybe none of
the above.

Hi Wolfy, I just checked the frequency at 0500 and all I can hear is a
weak signal from Holland. There's no sign of anything on either side of
7310, not even a weak carrier. I would not expect any strong signals here
at this time of the day, but I would expect to hear something. It's quite
strange... Sorry I can't be of more help. It will be interesting to see
what station it will turn out to be.

I've got the answer from Deutsche Welle, measurement and control center,
and monitoring and direction finding station.
"Wir beobachten die Interferenz auch schon seit einigen Tagen und gehen
zurzeit von einem defekten Sender in Afrika aus, denn es wurden von uns
auch afrikanische Musikanteile in der Modulation gehoert.
Die Peilung von unserer Empfangsstation in Bockhacken ergibt einen Azimuth
von 165 degr.
Die Ausstrahlung dauert laut unseren Beobachtungen auch nach 0630 UTC an.
