VOA French on 9885 kHz May 29, 2016

Here is my reception of a VOA French broadcast (for Africa?) on 9885 kHz at 19H51 to 20H UTC on May 29, 2016.



Equipment: using my 2001 Grundig YB 500 receiver, PLL synthesized, LSB, USB, ROM - will do an entry on it with pictures soon; no external antenna. 

Program details: Two American English lessons and what appears to be a US government announcement regarding Al-Shabab. I don't have much French so can't be more specific at this point.

Location: 100 km north of Moscow.

Interestingly, about 15 years ago, 9885 kHz was an SRI SUI - Swiss Radio International - frequency and you can see that it is in the ROM of my 2001 Grundig YB 500 Italia as such.

Visuals are poor - ad-hoc videoing, sorry, but the sound is okay and this is radio.
