BRAZIL 4914.94 R. Difusora Macapa 026 Very nice "R. Difusora" ID at 0839:15 just seconds before 4915.026 pres. Daqui came on. Another ID amid the QRM at 0840:55 . A few ads at 0855 including ment of Macapa. Really nice signal and was hoping it would stay clear till at least 0900. (8 Oct.)

PERU 5039.16 R. Libertad de Junin 1003 nice Huayno, then live M anncr w/morning prayers and mentioning names (please pray for so and so??) and Junin. 1009 another Huayno. 1013 canned echo anmnt by M over mx w/ment of internacional. Faded a lot in just 5 min. 1015 live M returned w/TC and anmnts. (8 Oct.)

UNID. 6160.06 is there again at 1020 check. CKZN still too strong even notched out. Faded very badly by 1100, so suspect LA. A screenshot showing the signal can be found at https://app.box.com/s/hi3wa9p4qgcrylbb8utg (8 Oct.)

PERU 6173.85v R. Tawantinsuyo 1021 M w/usual morning nx pgm. Ment of Cusco. TC at 1029 and nice ID w/ment of Peru. Lucky to get ID due to QRM. 1029 into ad by M w/ment of Cusco. 1031 back to nx w/live M. Drifted up 10 hz quickly at 1022. Heavy slop QRM taking over towards 1030. A screenshot of the signal can be found at https://app.box.com/s/pu4jvp9oq65gdayj0ns2 (8 Oct.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3905 R. New Ireland Per Ron Howard tip, found around 0900 when Hams weren't on. Stronger at 1104 w/pres. NBC nx by W in between Ham contacts. 1148 looks like the Ham net went off and getting W anncr tlking. Ment of PNG. Still tlking all the way to 1200 when more Hams came up. Could still hear mx at 1200 through the Hams. (8 Oct.)

MYNAMAR 7200.08 Myanmar R. 1112 playing Asian C&W mx, then usual W anncr. Muffled audio. Nice canned anmnt at 1118. One Ham was tuning up on 7199, then another on 7201. Faded a lot by 1130. Really picked back up to very nice level at 1202, but Hams right on top of it. (8 Oct.)

INDIA 7270 AIR Chennai 1204 distorted audio w/subcont. mx and W anncr. Hams prevented copy of closing at 1215. MP3 audio file can be found at https://app.box.com/s/swvklehjccvg0lkwuq3d (8 Oct.)

ANDAMAN ISLANDS 4760.01 Definite signal here at 1147 but just not strong enough to pull out any audio. (8 Oct.)

9 October 2013: Made the decision to go out to listen on the fact Mosoj Chaski was good, Milne Bay and ENB were on and New Ireland was on yesterday, and the disturbed condtitions can sometimes bring unusually good reception. A few stations were better than usual, but conditions were only fair at best. It was noisy also. 90mb PNGs were down in the mud. I could only muster a little audio out of ENB. 3905 NBC New Ireland was absent. Hams really blasted 41m. The highlight was definitely R. Quillabamba.

BRAZIL 4914.96 R. Difusora Macapa Just as I was about to hit the button to start recording this fine signal around 0913, Daqui came on. (9 Oct.)

BOLIVIA 3310 R. Mosoj Chaski 0917 end of feature w/M host, and into promo/info block including ID/promo anmnt by alternating M and W. Almost all anmnts were alternaing M and W. Ments of corazon and Cochabamba. 0921-0923 pleasant campo song w/M vcl and chorus of girls. 0923- more promos/info anmnts w/first canned anmnt w/M and W ending w/chorus singing "...corazon". 0925-0927 another campo song w/women chorus. 0927-0930 live studio M anncr host. 0930 more canned anmnts. 0932 tlk by live studio W anncr host.

SPY 7320 Humongous signal from SP numbers station at 0955 wiping out 7295-7345. Was peaking at S9+60!!!!! (9 Oct.)

PERU 5024.94 R. Quillabamba 1004 found Rebelde had extremely weak distorted audio and figured Quillabamba might be audible. Sure enough, lowered the bandwidth way down, notched out Rebelde, and Quillabamba was audible and intelligible. 1006 tlk by M in SP w/TC. 1008 nice Huayno. 1011 M returned w/TC given twice, song anmnt, and nice ID at least 4 times at 1011:50 and mensaje w/ment of provincia, commercial, TC twice again w/ment of Quillabamba, and song anmnt. 1013-1016 another Huayno w/W vcl. 1016 M DJ w/TC and song anmnt, ment nacional and internacional, Quillabamba, and ending w/song amnt. 1019-1023 another Huayno w/group chorus. 1023-1025 M returned w/TC but Rebeldes audio up now. 1025-1029 campo song w/man chorus 1028 Rebelde quiet again. 1029-1031 immediately into another song. 1031 brief deadair, then different M anncr DJ w/roomy sound to the audio and long tlk w/ment of "buenos dias", "la voz camposina", and Quillabamba, programa, Peru, 1037:40 possibly R. Quillabamba. 1039 another M anncer joined in tlking past 1043. If Rebelde wasn't here, R. Quillabamba would probably be as easy as R. Vision daily. MP3 audio file can be found at https://app.box.com/s/epkawwblhpy50x3g6kjs And a screenshot of the signal with Rebelde notched can be found at https://app.box.com/s/kz8dzvxwq74ui3tq8mx1 (9 Oct.)
