Republic of Congo heard on shortwave again

Republic of Congo
6115 Radio Congo - It looks like shortwave from Congo Brazzaville has been reactivated. I've heard them yesterday 15 July on 6115 kHz in French from 1745-1815 UTC with local music until 1802 UTC station identification, and into a string of post-electoral speeches. Fair signal but the modulation was a bit rough. Gone when re-checked at 1915 UTC. (Vashek Korinek-AFS, DXplorer July 16)

Radio Congo has been audible here very irregularly on 6115 kHz since January 2009. Mostly very weak and/or distorted modulation.
