Bolivia, 5996.29, Radio Loyola, 1004-1020 With a very weak signal that's struggling with all of the splatter, noted a male in what seemed to be Spanish language comments. Although the frequency was loaded with interference, it was still possible to pull Radio Loyola out of the splatter because of the announcer's tonal quality. Does that sound correct? Anyway, the "window" for Bolivia gradually closed after 1020 UTC, and all of those "tiny voices" on this band caused by the splatter, began to smother this spot on the dial.

Peru, 4746.80, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, 1030-1040 With music initially, noted a female and male in live Spanish Comments at 1030. It was very difficult to focus in on the details with the CODAR signal pinging thru my earphones every second, creating a "electronic headache". The comments continued during the period. The signal was fair with QRM. (Chuck Bolland, January 17, 2008) Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1037-1050, In here with Huaynos music. At 1038, male comments in Spanish language giving TC and ID. This occurs while the music is still playing. The CODAR is still present on this frequency, and the pain in my temples is gradually rotating to my frontal lope. Thus I am nudged into tuning to another target. Tarma's signal improved at 1040 from fair to good. (Chuck Bolland, January 17, 2008) Peru, 4826.46, Radio Sicuani, 1042-1100, Noted a male in Spanish Language comments. Hearing the male mention "Lima" every once in a while. During his comments, he mentions "Colombia" and "Venezuela" too, so I am thinking he's presenting the news. Canned promos/ADs at 1050. Heard an ID in there too as, "Radio Sicuani". Although CODAR can be heard, it's not exactly on 4826.46 KHz making listening less painful. Radio Sicuani was at a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, January 17, 2008) Peru, 4834.90, Radio Maranon, 1053-1103, In here with a good signal, as a male w/live comments in Spanish language. At 1056, promos and ADs presented just for a few moments. Male back with live conversation with a second male at 1058 UTC. I am hearing place names here too. I heard "Peru" (obvisouly) and "Venezuela". Too bad I can't keep up with the Spanish. At 1103 signal drops off of the air. I wait around for a few minuted, but it doesn't return. While the station was on the air, it was at a good level as was CODAR.
