EQUATORIAL GUINEA 5005 R. Nacional -Bata. Extremely weak carrier here at 1909. Same for 4976 Uganda, and 4845 Mauritania, but that was all that was noted on 60meters at the time. By 1935, 4940 Sao Tome, 4835.4 Mali, and 4770 Nigeria joined in. Oddly, the Dipole was just as good as the 394' African BOG on the 60m Africans. And not really surprising, 11735 Zanzibar was better on the Dipole than on the 394' African BOG.

5005 UNID ! Station in Spanish and some Vernacular language, and some occasional government jamming signal in between. Continous playing very fast rap/pop mx and some Spanish announcement in between. Noted around 1700-2000 UT onwards. After listening each afternoon/night between 29th and Nov 3rd, I realized, that Radio Nacional de Bata produces such strange program content like an European pirate station. It's 'disastrous' in our ears. SINPO 34443 on Oct 29th and also the following nights. Bata nx at 1934-1938 UT.
