Guyana being heard again on shortwave

GUYANA
Voice of Guyana is back on the air after a brief absence from the SW bands. Noted this evening while scanning 90 meters (an old habit). 3291.2, Voice of Guyana, 0320-0352+ Sept 22, talk in English by a man to a "live" audience about local events, issues mentioning ministers of govt and an upcoming national holiday. An announcer introduced a group of children who song the National Anthem a cappella. After a brief string of ads, a man gave a station ID ("This is the Voice of Guyana" which was followed by somber instrumental mx and a man reading the obituaries. Appropriately followed by some lively jazz mx (interesting programming change of pace). Fair.
