GABON 4777, 0513-0533, RTV Gabonaise, Libreville Dec 12 I tuned in at 0513
which is a half hour past Libreville sunrise, but Gabon was still coming in
fairly well. Selections of African highlife music were heard, with frequent
remarks by a hyper announcer in French, including mentions of Libreville and
Gabon. The signal became much tougher copy at 0530 as the terminator moved
further west. This should definitely be stronger on the West Coast prior to
0445 or so. Good to hear 4777 reactivated and back on the air! Thanks to
Mike Barraclough for tip. (Atkins-WA)

Hi, Guy - I'm on the west coast of the US near San Francisco. I tried
RTV Gabonaise on 4777 last night at 2030 my local time (about 0430
UTC), and it was S-9 and even better, quite strong, and would have been
easy copy if not for local QRM junk. With 250 kW at their transmitter,
I guess that's expected! Thanks for the tip ~
