Michael, das hatten wir letzte Woche diskutiert: Wirklich Brazil oder CVI via Meyerton-AFS ? 73 wb
UNID 4990 Brazilian. Unidentified Brazilian last night (Sun 7th May) on 4990 kHz (or a shade above, say 4990.02). Heard from 2150 tune-in but seemed to disappear at 2204. Weak and noisy. Definitely Portuguese (not Dutch or Spanish) and typical echoey talk. Fanfare at end(?) of programme 2200 - mentioned "programa 'Sol da ter'.." and possible mention of Goiania. But no ID copied. Any one know what this could be? (Alan Pennington-UK, dxld May 7) Alan ... someone in JPN was also puzzled by this "Brazilian" station a short time ago. I suggest that it is actually CVC International via Meyerton according to an item from Radio Bulgaria DX Mix Nx of April 28th. They report that CVC operates on 4990 via MEY 100 kW non-directional to Ce&SoAfrica in Portuguese at 1905-2205. This is a new freq instead of former 9620. The "disappearance" of the signal at 2204 coincides with the reported sign-off. (Noel R. Green-UK, dxld May 8) Thanks Noel - eventually found the Christian Voice schedule on the Sentech website which tallys.(Portuguese definitely sounds Brazilian rather than African though!): CHRISTIAN VOICE via Meyerton-AFS Time UTC kHz Tx kW Target Area Language 0515-1545 9555 100 Southern Africa English 0600-0900 9805 100 Mozambique Portuguese 1905-2200 4990 100 Southern Africa Portuguese (Alan Pennington, dxld May 8) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Schnitzer" Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2006 9:31 PM Subject: [HCDX] Transmundial on 4990 > may be new on this frequency: > > BRASIL > 4990 R Transmundial, May 12th, 2130-2200, Portuguese, religious program, > several IDs; O=2-3 > > > vy 73 > > -- > Michael Schnitzer > > Homepage: http://home.arcor.de/mschnitzer/ > Location: Hassfurt, Germany > Receiver: NRD-535 DG > Antennas: GPM-1500 > EWE to South America > EWE to Asia / Pacific > > ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- > > World Radio TV Handbook 2006 is out. > Order yours from http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0823059367/hardcoredxcom/ > > ---[End Commercial]----------------------- > ________________________________________ > Hard-Core-DX mailing list > Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com > http://arizona.hard-core-dx.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx > http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ > _______________________________________________ > > THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
