9480 African Pathways Radio (Mahajanga) 0452-0456* 6, 7, 8 July. APR's low-key religious programming closes with Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy"--a nice change from the grim scenarios broadcast on some of the US religious stations.   (Dan Sheedy)

9515 R. Niger Delta/Voice of Peace (Issoudun) *0458-0510 2 July. Thanks to Ivo's info on the HCDX site, heard the 2nd day of RND/VoP (plus 6 & 7 July with slightly better signals). Local song to open, ID/frequency/phone & internet contact info, & mentioning "broadcasting from New York" [which on the 2nd, thanks to an "ear-or", i heard as "from Lagos.."--embarrassing? oh yes]. Initial log with rather poor signal overall, so nice to find them the next week doing a bit better.   (Dan Sheedy)

15068.4U   Italy,  Marconi Radio International, presumed, 1906, weak carrier only, also 7068.4U at 2004 with very weak carrier (July 9, 2016) XM

15240 WWRB *1559-1620+ 9 July. R. RSA IS, WWRB ID with ad for new clients (giving a 931 area code for contact), 30-45 seconds of dead air followed by segued African songs (CAf/Uganda pop?), IADs and some distortion on the audio as well, audio quit @ :17 & i tuned out @ :21.   (Dan Sheedy)

15240 unID (likely R. Munansi [via WWRB]) *1552-1630+ 10 July. OC @ tune-in, abrupt opening with long speech in (p) Luganda with many Uganda/Rwanda mentions--audio sounds like it's recorded over the telephone (compressed & hollow). Retune at 1658-1720 with probably the same speaker past TOH, "anthem" at :01, followed by long hymn-y "local" song, (p) opening remarks with clear R. Munansi ID (audio much better at this time), another "local" song past :17 & more (p) Luganda chat. Deep fading & possibly some IADs make this a pretty sketchy listening experience.  (Dan Sheedy)
