Guyana on 3289.9
3289.9, Voice of Guyana (Georgetown) (presumed), 0323-0401. English. Pop music. Brief announcement by announcer at 0330 followed by more music. BBC news read by woman at 0400. Poor signal in a very noisy part of the band made worse by a new local noise source that started here last week. Could only understand a few words of the BBC news, and none of the 0330 announcement. Signal drifted up a bit, almost reaching 3290. thanks to Brian Alexander for the initial report of reactivation. (Jim Evans, TN)
