Monitoring RNT Chad on shortwave


Yesterday's focus on Benin, brought a blog request to highlight other African stations, with schedules and addresses. The following logs were recently contributed to World Wide DX Club, and DX Window, and the multilingual shortwave schedule should assist in your Chad quest. Good luck!
