7460 kHz acc.to the text of my audio clip translated by our esteemed DX 
colleague Tarek Zaidan in Egyp (via Wolfgang Büschel); as recently reported, 
the fqs ann'ed at the beginning of the prgr in Castilian are 1550 and

4785 kHz R.Mali, Kati, seems to be alive on 60 m after all, e.g. on 18 Feb 
2249-2258, Vernacular, trad. songs; 25332, so untypically weak signal, and 
this is qualifying just the carrier, for the audio was almost voiceless, so
