[A-DX] 59955 khz, MALI

[Christoph Ratzer]

via BDXC:

As well as the CRI relay station in Bamako (thanks to Alan Roe for the message earlier) Radio Mali's SW transmitter has also been repaired and is back on the air today, with good audio modulation for the first time in years.

Radio Mali's daytime frequency 9635 was confirmed from tune-in earlier this afternoon until 1800 UTC when they switched to their evening frequency 5995 kHz.
From 1850-1906 UTC they carried the weekly news magazine in English.

I last heard the English news from Mali back in 2008 when it was broadcast on Saturdays at 1920 UTC on 5995, but over the past 10 years the SW modulation from Bamako has been so poor that its been impossible to confirm it again - until today!

Very pleased to have Mali back on SW and a nice surprise to catch their elusive English broadcast again.

The SW schedule as per WRTH is:
9635 khz 0800-1800 UTC
5995 kHz 0555-0800 and 1800-2400
