BOLIVIA: 4865.01-.03v, tentatively Radio Logos, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, with a fair signal and slightly wandering fqy many mornings, lately. Hrd as early as 0930 on 7/20 on 4865.01, but more often showing up closer to 1000 GMT. Signal can hold up as late as 1030+ some days. Noted Jul 9, 12, 19, 20, 21, 22. Pgming fairly consistent: Mellow and nondescript canciones -- instrumentals but more frequently SS vocalists (possibly Christian SS pops) with organ + bass or else other sparse instrumentation. Many tunes segued. OM ancr occasionally between songs, mike is very muffled and undermodulated, extremely difficult to read. Typical snippets like OM mentioning of "la musica . . . siempre por todos . . . la Biblia . . . onda corta . . ." Can't hear an actual s/on or NA which would really help, but everything consistent with past profile for R Logos and propatation seems to // performance of other E Bolivians like R. Santa Cruz on 49 mb (when one good, the others doing okay, also). Usually a het and best heard in ECSS-LSB + notch. (Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA: 4699.95, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, 7/20 0920-0940 t/o, tropical rhythms and fair QSA above the noise. Deep voiced OM at 0924, cranking up the modulation, "Muy buenos dias . . . las cinco de la manana con 24 minutes . . .: Guitar strumming and OM singing balada next. Frequent t/cks and more guitar vocals. Also nice signal 7/21 at 1000 with SS OM IDing at ToH. Fair sign 7/22 past 1000. 60 meter band starting to come to life again in the mornings, as the daylight comes later to the central USA . . . starting to note the familiar Andean xmtrs like 4815 HC, 4790 and 4747 and 4825 OA, etc. New DX season on the way. (Perry, Illinois) UNID: 6025.06, unid Latin. Noted 7/21 at 0045-0120 t/o on ECSS-LSB, very bad splatter from both side channels (6020/6030). Mellow pops / baladas, romantic canciones seguied to ToH. Splatter crescendoed at 0056 thru 0100 and lost; back again 0102 with more segued instrumentals. 0112 OM with muffled anmts in SS. Don't believe R Amanecer as that one has held to a signature exact fqy of 6025.13 and is usually much stronger. Suspected a possible Radio Patria Nueva, La Paz, Bolivia, reported here, but this station not // the CP's web streaming bcst, for whatever that's worth. An interesting puzzle to work on. (Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL: 5970, Radio Itatiaia, Belo Horizonte, channel clear at 0900 when noted with recorded ad string in progress and then live ancr at 0905 in PP, "Bom dia! Transmite Radio Itataia . . .com a música que você ama!" Long live anmt by OM in PP. Good opening to Brazil 7/21, also noting presumed Radio Congonhas at 0915 with mellow orchls. Also, 4915 Brazilian blaring in 0922-0940, beautiful signal, best in band, OM PP anmts interspersed with guitar+xylo music (cranked up and down by ancr). Hymnlike selections next and at 0932, horn version of "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" (like the old interval signal for, what was it, Trans World Radio?) Stayed with it but stn refused to ID! Dunno if Macapa or Daqui?
