UNID 6089.9 UNID Feb 7 very weak with mumbles and seemingly African songs ard 2045. Not heard later which was normally the case with Kaduna years ago, but I think probably this is back? 4770 fair at the same time with different prgr. Maybe better tonight?
(later) 6090, To confirm this is Radio Nigeria, Kaduna, heard Feb 9 up to close at 2300*. 4770 closed at that same time and same national anthem, believe it or not. 2300 revealed China Business Radio //7315 with Beijing- ID 2307. No sign of it on 3985 kHz. (Finn Krone-DEN, wwdxc BC-DX Feb 9/10)
According to my notes as DBS Editor, Kaduna was not heard by any DX-er Nov 2006 - Jan 2007, but is now back on the air. (Anker Petersen-DEN, Feb 8) 0430-2305 UT, (wb)
