Rocco, I did not provide the log, only a (very) probably ID. But I agree with you: as long as there is no ID, the station must be regarded as tentative.
On the other hand, I have heard IPDA programming from Colombia, Venezuela, Peru (various stations) and Brazil, and there is ¤always¤ some sort of an ID if you are prepared to carry on listening until the very end of the sermon, or if you are lucky to find the station before the relay gets started. In 1998 I had to tune to the IPDA relay on 6060 five times before I managed to get an ID, on July 27, at 1002 UTC, "Rádio Tupi, Sistema Universo da Comunicação". That was just before the IPDA relay started. Re MW reception conditions in northern Europe, I have found that the Nordeste stations are usually early in and early out or gradually overtaken by others farther down to the south as the night proceeds. So as for the stations along the eastern seaboard of South America, those farther away are more easily logged a bit before the band closes. And those in the Nordeste area tend to peak just after midnight. In the olden days, on 1410, Rádio Verdes Mares (in Fortaleza) would open the band at midnight, but three hours later you would have a mix of Rádio América (in São Paulo) and CX44 (in Montevideo). Then the band would close down. Henrik Klemetz --- Rocco Cotroneo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> skrev: > > > Henrik, > this is almost impossible to tell, as Radio Universo > never ids.
