DIEGO GARCIA [BIOT - British Indian Ocean Territory] 4319 AFN, Los
Angeles, 2345-2359 UT, Noted English news and comments as well as promos
and public announcements. Signal was good which causes me to wonder if
this is really Diego Garcia or another AFN station somewhere closer?

EQUATORIAL GUINEA 6250.0 Oct 23 at 0613 UT, weak talk could be Spanish,
and presumably RNGE; some ute QRM. With sunrise underway, it really helps
when they sign on a semihour earlier.
15190 R. Africa, which conveniently went missing last week just as ZYE522
reactivated 15190 kHz, heard again for the first time Oct 22 at 2008 UT,
lo-fi gospel singer, S=9+18dB and no QRM, not even a het detectable during
music. At 2013 UT YL preacher allowed a very lite het to be audible, but
so weak I could not tell with BFO whether it was on the hi or lo side of
R. Africa, which maintains a tight frequency, whatever its other failings,
such as long periods of dead air between huxters...
