BOLIVIA 4732 R. Universitaria (pres.) 1026 LA Pop. No anmnts noted and dropped way down after 1040 not to recover. No RTTY this morning. (16 Jan.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3290 R. Central 1106 nx in PD by M anncr. 1109 studio M anncr but audio too low to copy, and into "Take Me Home, Country Road" by John Denver. One or two other Top 40-like songs, but all the rest were Island Pops. 1157 M anncr w/final anmnt including what sounded like a ment of NBC, but couldn't really copy. Voice anmnts were too weak. 1158 instru. NA and off. Signal faded slightly after 1130. Was hoping to get a nice recording of s/off. (16 Jan.) BOLIVIA 4732 R. Universitaria (pres.) 0038 LA ballad at t/in mixing with and slightly overtop the RTTY. 0040 M brief voice-over anmnt. Ad block 0050, then long tlk by live M anncr w/what sounded like a ment of Pando. Certainly sounded like an ID at 0157 and ment of ".de la noche". Still going after 0200. Seems to play more ballads than Pops. Best signal so far from this one and CODAR not that much of a problem. (18 Jan.) PERU 3329.61 Ondas del Huallaga 1103-1107 ad block, all w/excited tlk and also SFX. 1107 into mx. Didn't stick w/this as I wanted to record 4732 Universitaria, so no ID. (18 Jan.) BOLIVIA 4732 R. Universitaria 1107 Tuned in in the middle of a full canned ID by M in echo ".informativo, en ?? 97.9 en Frecuencia Modulada.Universitaria..los Pando". Deadair, then soft Rom. Ballad. 1110 live W anncr, then what sounded like a LA Rap song w/just drum machine and group of men 'singing' so to speak. 1115 into LA Dance song, then another ballad at 1118. Another very brief anmnt at 1126 but it was too far gone by then. Noticed that the RTTY isn't on in the mornings, so that's the best time to log this. Glad to finally get this one!! (18 Jan.) Once again the MUF was only 5 mhz this morning. S.F. was 71, A Index was 9, and K Index was 3. Very poor conditions. (20 Jan.) MOON 7407.5 CW HAARP (HF Active Auroral Research Program) 0730+ Could (weakly) hear the CW tone at :01-:02 (direct xmsn), followed by less than a second of silence and then a (stronger) echo (return bounce) from :03 to :04. The silence between the signal return signal and the start of the next direct transmission seemed just a little longer than the split second between the direct transmission and the return. Both were not very strong and fading was a bit of a problem. (20 Jan.) BRAZIL 3254.91 R. Educadora 6 de Agosto (pres.) 1027-1032 All tlk by M anncr in PT over BoH, tuned out briefly, and when I returned a minute later they were into ZY mx. Decent signal at t/in but fading. Wish I would have been there at s/on. (20 Jan.) PERU 6173.84 R. Tawantinsuyo (pres) 1033 end of OA mx, then M anncr w/TC 3 min. slow twice and short anmnt in pres. Aymara, then back to campo mx. More anmnts at 1036 and 1039 but way too much adjacent slop QRM. Beautiful Harp mx at 1041. 1044 another anmnt including TC again 3 min. slow. When the adjacent stn was playing mx, it was impossible to copy. Too much QRM after 1056. (20 Jan.) PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3315 R. Manus 1240-1344 Pop ballad at t/in, then "You're My Inspiration" by Chicago. 1244 M in PD, ment of Papua New Guinea. More Pop mx w/M anncr host. 1258 M anncr again, TC, ment of NBC and Papua New Guinea. Usual bird call then native mx signature, and into NBC EG nx by M to 1303, then immediately back to mx w/oldie-sounding song. Surprised that this continued. Different M anncr at 1316, so maybe a continuation of the NBC relay. Definitely still there at 1344, and what sounded like strains of audio still at 1358 and 1400 which would be pretty decent considering it was almost an hour and a half after sunrise on 90 meters.
