[A-DX] 59955 khz, MALI

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

In Tirana haben die Chinesen immer 10 Jahresverträge abgeschlossen.
Das Sendezentrum von CRI Europe in Cerrik ist ja ein richtiges
Schmuckkästchen und eines der best geführten Sendezentren weltweit.

Und das neue chinesische Bamako Mali Sendezentrum wurde in 2004/2005 fertig
gestellt im neuesten Vorhangantennen-Design, Made in China.

Wie auch Bauta-Cuba Zentrum-neu,
und Cerrik-Albanien auch.

Etwas nördlicher in Bamako gibt es in Google Earth noch immer
das ex koloniale ORTM Sendezentrum der einst-Franzosenbesatzer zu sehen.
Von dort kamen bis Sommer 2005 mit 50 kW Leistung
Aussendungen auf sehr krummen Frequenzen z.B. 4783 und 15127 kHz,
sowohl von RTM wie auch CRI.

ps. Sendestärken von dort:
der Hauptstrahl von Mali geht nordostwärts über NordEaAfrika Sahara Sahel
hinweg,
Richtung Äthiopien - Saudi Arabien UAE, also nicht gerade nach OE / EUR.

FYI
RTC technicians seemingly refurbished Bamako relay site now
after 15 years in usage,

and both countries MLI and CHN signed a new relay site contract
for coming 10 or 15 years issue to come in A-19 from 31 March 2019 ?

Noted signals on some SDR remote installations
in Doha Qatar, Greece, Italy at 1435 UT:

17630 S=8-9 in Doha Qatar,
S=9 in Italy and Greece.

13685 S=7-8 in Doha Qatar, Greece, Italy.

But nearby IBB Botswana channel from southerly Africa
on 13630 kHz was little stronger on pure S=9 signal at same time slot.

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
