Hello, Following the ham/swl log that I made with Peter Sprenghel PP5XX in Itapoá (GG53qw), Fábio Mattos and Anderson Torquato in Garopaba (GG51qx), cities located in the State of Santa Catarina, south Brazil.
The TEP in 88 MHz was not strong as expected. In 144 MHz we made the usual listening of Dominica repeaters and contact with Martinica FM5CS. We have tried several others skeds included with south USA but without success. However we enjoyed one Es to Argentina in 88 MHz. We were under heavy rain in one mountain with great view to Garopaba city and the south part of Santa Catarina Island, where is located Florianopolis, the capital of the State. We kept the receiver on 88,1 MHz (Radio Gazeta of Sao Paulo, about 500 km far) when suddenly we heard one advertising in spanish language for just 10 seconds or nearby. After some minutes we heard again this station but loud. So we made one quickly scann and then several others spanish speaking radios were on the dial of one simple Degen 1103 with telescopic antenna! In one 3rd period of propagation we stayed in 95,1 MHz listening announcements and talks related to "La Rioja". Crossing the log data collected with internet informations we found for this frequency the "Fenix FM" in La Rioja, northwest Argentina, about 1780 km far from Garopaba, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Some days ago (jan,17) Mr. Fran PY2FGJ have monitored in Itapecirica da Serra (near Sao Paulo city) the Channel 3 TV station from Viña del Mar, Chile. La Rioja is near on the way of this Es path! The NDBs in LF seemed very familiar of what I´ve heard in the latest expeditions to Comprida Island with Japy DX and DXCB groups, included the ASN Ascencion Island, southeast and central Brazil beacons but not BRR in Bahia (one indicator to central-northeast Brazil). The only difference was the beacons of the neighbor-state of Rio Grande do Sul. For this band we used one RGP-3 antenna.
