There was an opening last night!  TWR Swaziland in Kiswahili on 4760 was booming
in at 3:00 UTC.  Normally I have to heavily notch the signal - not last night!  
My bell weather station caused me to scramble and I was able to log some 
stations I had never heard before.

Angola                  3375    2:30 UTC
Papua New Guinea        3395    3:00
TWR Swaziland           4760    3:00
TWR Swaziland           3240    3:00
Namibia                 3270    3:14
BBC via Meyerton S.A.   3255    3:14
Zimbabwe                3306    3:18  This one was new for me!

All caught on Yaesu FRG 100 with Kiwa filters, MFJ Preamp/Antenna Tuner, and 
Grove Sound Enhancer.

Antennas:  Best reception on 1/Lamda 19 meter loop.  Also good on the quieter 
T2FD resonant at 8.1MHz (with amplification cranked up.)
