BRAZIL - 4865.02, tentatively R Alvorada, Londrina: my previous unid from July, heard much better today, is definitely a Brazilian (was hoping Logos!) . . . . Noted poor to fair signal again this morning, 9/13, from 0946-0957with very under-modulated signal and usual pgm of OM narrating or preaching in lengthy monologue, punctuated by bursts of orchestral or hymn-like music. At this point, still unreadable insofar as useful pgm detail, even land (SS or PP?) But with 60 meters staying alive later now, with the impending Fall, was able to recheck at 1020. Still there and with a signal had peaked substantially. Much more readable, tho still low modulation. 100 pct clearly PP and t/cks matching Brazil, also. At this time, a studio news magazine program was in progress, with phone-ins from listeners and live reports from remote correspondents. Still good at 1035 but still no clear ID. Anticipate most likely will be the familiar R Alvorada, Londrina, although must be aware that there were also reports (confirmed?) in June out of Europe of a R Verdes Florestas, Cruz do Sul, on this same fqy.

ANDES BANDSCAN - Hurray, finally a relatively decent opening into the Andes on 60 meters this morning, 9/13, hopefully signalling the start to a nice LA DX season for us in the USA. 5039.18 R. Libertad de Junin, Peru, with fair to good QSA at 1036, deejay talking over mellow musical background. 4814.98 R El Buen Pastor with a nice signal at 1049 tune-bay, fetching sanjuanito in progress. 4789++ presumed R Vision, Chiclayo, decent signal but het and QRM underneath ute at 1051. Didn't notice other usual suspects like R Tarma or R Huanta 2000, which were my 'markers' for decent Andes openings last winter . . . Already making plans for tomorrow morning and lining up better OA/HC/CP targets!
