Hi there, I've haven't listened out for Radio Mali for quite some time, so good to hear them again last night on the Tecsun. One of the few remaining signals in Africa, albeit with a very well maintained transmitter.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 08/05/26 at 23:16 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
