UNID 7194.98 station. Jan 13 around 1520 UT noted a station in unid
language on 7194.98 with talks and phone-ins. Local noise here, but the
music had an African flavor. Transmitter was dropping off at times for
long periods and the modulation was weakish. They had news in English at
1703 and tx went off again at 1712 UT.
Possibly Uganda that Martien Groot has been monitoring on this split. No
sign of them on 4976 kHz at this time

The newly developed Rigid Dipole Technology combines design principles as
implemented in rotatable shortwave antennas with the advantages of curtain
antennas.
Additionally, the Thomson Rotatable Curtain Antenna system is the most
flexible available, covering a 360-degree angle. It has all the highlights
of the rigid dipole antenna and in addition offers all frequency bands of
the shortwave broadcasting range, electric control logic, smooth starting
and breaking, high rotation speed of 1 degree per second, high positioning
accuracy of less than 1 degree, and monitoring and remote control.
and on the right side of Al Dhabbaya the two new MW masts.

USA New Radar on 7 MHz. In December 2009 I found another kind of radar
on our 7 MHz-Band, sometimes audible on 7000, 7050 and 7100 kHz with a
bandwidth of about 40 kHz. It was found daily between 1300 and 1800 UTC
and sounded like a Codar HF-Radar. The pulserate was about 3 pulses/sec.
Bearings were showing the east coast of USA.
New Radar on 7 MHz _ oscillogram with Wavecom W40 - DK2OM - 375 msec
between the pulses - east coast of USA.
