Bolivia, 6134.786, Radio Santa Cruz, 2225-2240, Noted singing by a male. Signal was still very weak, so not much making it to South Florida. However, noticed the signal drifting upwards from 6134.786KHz at tune in to 6134.801KHz at 2240. (Chuck Bolland, November 12, 2010) Peru, 6019.275, Radio Victoria, 2240-2250, Noted a poor signal here with a male in Spanish comments. Signal is still just starting to fade in, but with a threshold signal. Tuned into the harmonic on 18057.826KHz which was just as threshold as Victoria on 6mHz. (Chuck Bolland, November 12, 2010) Peru, 4746.958, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 2300-2310, Noted a poor signal here with a few persons in Spanish comments and music. Signal was actually threshold. (Chuck Bolland, November 13, 2010) Wanted! Someone to identify the three carriers/stations on the following frequencies: 1. 4864.696KHz 2. 4864.979 KHz 3. 4865.025KHz I mainly interested in Identifying the Bolivian, Radio Logos which is supposed to be one of the three. Thanks in Advance for your help. Chuck Honduras, 3339.97, Radio Misiones Int.(HRMI), 0005-0020, Noted a male in English and a female translating his comments to Spanish. Comments are religious. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, Novembeer 13, 2010) Bolivia, 3309.99, Radio Mosoj Chaski, -00150-0030, Signal just audible over the noise. Heard a female in Spanish language comments until 0018, and at that time music is presented. Signal was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, November 13, 2010) Guyana, 3289.98, Voice of Guyana, 0018-0030, Noted a female in English language comments for a couple of minutes. This is followed with 40's type dance music. Signal is poor and struggling with the noise. (Chuck Bolland, November 13, 2010) Guatamala, 4052.46, Radio Verdad, 0022-0035, Noted a male in Spanish language comments.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. Tulsa market TV/radio news alignments: 1170, KFAQ, Nov 12 at 1404 UT quoting Fox 23 [KOKI-22] local news and weather items in ``KFAQ News Time``; 740, KRMG, Nov 12 at 1407 with traffic report from News on 6 [KOTV-45]. So where on the radio may we hear news from KJRH-8 and KTUL-10? KRMG has added an FM relay, but not KFAQ, backward. May I suggest that traffic reporting, at least, is more appropriate from radio stations to be quoted by TV stations, as there are few TVs in cars, and no one can hear `channel 6` on FM any more. But then, TV stations are more likely to have choppers, altho often outsourced and no longer essential for locating hazards and jams (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 18058-, Nov 12 at 1454, carrier and bits of mod, no doubt from third harmonic of R. Victoria, Lima on 6019.3+.

Certainly not // 5040. No, it`s YFR, now scheduled via Ascension at 01-02, so the Haitians have a choice between Commies and Christians, as Lavwadlamerik (VOA) abandoned expanded Kriyol last April, another victim of the quake, having decided that no one was listening to SW in Haiti, not even the VOA Creole sesquihour daily which existed previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non].
