Heard between 0525 and 0550 UT here in southern Germany: a recording of 0548 UT on Oct 10 made. Distorted audio though. Should be African FRCN Kaduna radio program. Frequency wandered from 6089.915 kHz at 0525 UT S=6 or -86dBm on diverse Perseus units here in Europe, to 6089.913 kHz at 0550 UT.

Checking for 6090 Amhara at 2000, I found a het there. Zooming in, there's another signal on 6089.905. Noticed on other web receivers in Europe, including the Canary Islands. I can't get any definite audio on any receiver though. Just Amhara. Could this be Kaduna back on???

Just after 1pm, I checked 13650khz Arabic and got a good signal signal to get the text to decode but audio wouldn't lock on.. it was teetering right on what was useable., so I went for a walk thinking it'd pick up and be a bit stronger later. I come back just after 2pm, 13650 is gone and 15540 is nowhere to be seen on my radios at home and checking UTwente, nothing on the waterfall there either. I was watching the UTwente waterfall a few days ago and saw 15540 DRM drop off just about 1947, over an hour ahead of schedule. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 17:01:22 -0400 From: "Paul B.

Ex-6165 not on either. Only other English, 6000 remains with OK signal; Spanish 6060 not very good & 5040 good.
