15180 Aso Radio International, via ?, *1600-1655, Dec 09, popped on at 1600 with drum/flute music, then a couple of ID's followed by a variety of talks in presumed Hausa, with an occasional selection of enjoyable West African music. Very good at tune-in but signal deteriorated after 1630 and was largely unreadable by 1655; think closedown may have occurred around that time. Went to the announced website http://www.asoradioonline.com/ and found out the station has been around for a long time on 93.5 FM. Wonder if there is any connection to the former "Radio Saa" that was on 15180 at this same time a couple of years ago? (Wilkins in DXplorer)
