PERU - 6059.99t, tentatively Aroma Cafe Radio. Again heard weakly this morning
1/20. Am now becoming very confident this is indeed the new onein Distrito de
Pichanaki, Provincia Cajamarca, Dpto. de Junin. No ID yet but the "fit" is
becoming strong. As previously noted, signed on late, well after 1100. Fading
in and out and very poor modulation. Need ECSS to copy decently. Today seemed
to "fade up" (as if xmtr being warmed up and modulation being cranked up) about
1114, when hrd with OM anmts in SS. Seemed "en eco" and perhaps this was the
opening anmt. Very noisy today and poor signal, but clearly noting yipping YL
and fragments of OA folklorica music thru to 1123, when big QRM carrier blotted
out the Peruvian. Have only today noted that Pedro Arrunategui in his initial
logs of this new one, also measured to a precision fqy of 6059.99 -- same as I
independently determined. (I was previously unaware of this.) By the way,
stuck around
to ID the QRMing station and indeed, it is RCI with their Tagalog pgm. Very
small window for DXers to bag this one during local mornings. I expect this
should come in nicely down in South Florida, etc. (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR - 4918.98, Radio Quito, "me too" on this one. Bumped into big signal
this morning 1/20 at 1033, program of OM and YL in SS but mainly indigenous
language (probably Quechua), reading items punctuated with bursts of musica
ecuatoriana. Pgm ran to 1054 when nice ID, then orchestral version of HC
national anthem (long form, with prelude, chorus, vocal middle section and
grand wrap-up). Again, ID for Radio Quito afterward and then at 1100, into
news show which sounded like "Noticiero Ecuadoradio" (?) presented by YL in
SS. After 1100, signal was much improved music. A few times hrd some RTTY
mixing with RQ, on same channel -- almost seemed same xmtr as R Quito. I
wonder if they are sharing a utility transmitter for SW and using one of the
sidebands for broadcast? (Perry, Illinois)
