I have this to add, but not to much help I'am afraid. I listened to 17660.00
on Feb 2 from 1335 to
1429. UT. Nonstop highlife music.Very enjoyable and with SINPO 3-4 5 5 3 4 ,
getting better.
At 1349 a very weak station under was heard with arabic music, but
disappeared  after a minute or two.
No jammer was heard during the whole time of listening. The station with
african music just kept on
playing their highlife music. Nothing that even ressembles an id was heard.
At 1408 a song which included
the words "independence" and "Cameroun" , at 1410 a song probably titled
"L'Afrique, c'est mon pais".
At 1429 they went off the air, without any spoken words, leaving the
frequency free from any other
station, the qrg is dead, whatever antenna I use.  BTW, as a very young
DX-er I didn't fancy high-
life music at all, even called it  pejorative things like "Lumumba music".
Time and life have taught me better.

To Björn from Johan : drop me a personal email if you find out  what we are
listening to.
