China Radio International (via Bamako)

China Radio International, transmitting presumably from Bamako, Mali, was logged on 2 November 2013. A Chinese language broadcast with several songs was monitored from 22.45 to 23.00 UTC (broadcast time 2230 to 23.00 UTC). Reception 15.505 kHz was (SINPO)  25321 -- weak signal, with audible speech and music, significant amount of atmospheric noise and fading to affect decent reception. Transmitter remained on air after 23.00 UTC, although programme had finished.

Reception report was emailed to CRI English language section. A QSL was promised on 5 November 2013. A QSL card indeed arrived in the mail on 26 November 2013.
