Hi dxAce,

Djibouti made it to the West Coast last night... barely. I wished I had
gotten home earlier so I could have tuned in at *0300. What little signal I
had was best off the backside of my west Beverage:

DJIBOUTI 4780, 0417-0422, RTD Djibouti Mar 19 Tentative. I didn't learn of
this reactivated outlet until past 0400 tonight, but I presume it was
Djibouti putting in a weak signal anyway, more than one hour past RTD
sunrise. Male announcer in African-sounding language, a brief bit of music,
and that was it. Signal quickly dropped into the noise by 0420. Some swisher
(CODAR) interference. (Atkins-WA)
