Sokoto Tower did not answer. Pitch dark down there.
Yep, it hasn't changed much, although they do have a new(er) radio in the tower, but it's still hot water or radio, not both together.
Then there is OUA (Berkina Faso), good radio, they even answer on the first try...and lo' and behold, hydrant refueling, done in quick time.
Very efficient...and the hotel in town ain't bad either...nice cold beer.
