4845,25 31/1 0100-0202* Radio Cultura, Manaus, Religious catholic program till 0150, then romantic ongs and full id at 0200, National Hymn and off at 0202. Very nice signal, easy listening 4746,8 28/1 2315 Huanta 2000, religious talks in Spanish, no id, again back to this frequency area, as already observed in USA. Poor/Fair
5470 28/1 2043-2100* Radio Veritas, Liberia, songs, id in English and s.off at 2100. Good
5745 02/02 0042 WWRB, USA, presumed: old songs non stop, good
5755 02/02 0048 KAIJ, Frisco, USA talks, EE fair
6010,07 01/02 0108-0119 Radio Inconfidencia, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, sport tlaks man and woman, mentioning "Inconfidencia", fair over Bahrain. In USB to avoid La Voz de tu Conciencia, good on 6009,5 kHz
6134,8 02/02 0035 Radio Santa Cruz, Bolivia, sport talks SS, commercials, ids, SS, in LSB to avoid QRM. Fair
6878 28/1 0205 Radio Planet FM, id in Italian: "Alla consolle di Radio Planet FM...", and in English "You are listening to Radio Planet FM". House music "House party". It is the same tx of Power FM that I reported in December... no doubt because the spectrum. Strong signal, perfect modulation. Still on air on 29/1 0145 with Planet Night".
9599,26 29/1 & 1/2 2208-2223 Radio UNAM, Mexico. First it was a tentative because I didn't hear any id, I listened to it again and I can say it is UNAM. Seriuos classical music, at 2220 talks by woman but with low modulation, not usable, fading down at 2221. At 2226 music again with slow deep fading. At 2308 better signal, talks by man in Spanish, cultural serious matters. But at 2312 QRM from 9600 kHz. Later music again, better at 2344 in narrow LSB. It was always serious music. At 0000 talks man & woman for some minutes and music again. Later very weak, and around 0100 it disappeared. The exact frequency seems to be 9599,257
9615 01/02 0215-0240 Radio Cultura, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Talks man and woman, reports, in PP, with several ids. fair/good
9720 28/1 2341 Radio Victoria, Peru, usual religious program in Spanish, but with a real good singnal. Easy listening also with Degen 1103
11815 28/1 2255 Radio Brasil Central, songs and ids, great signal like a local station! Easy listening with Degen 1103.
