Bolivia, 5996.43, Radio Loyola, 1024-1100 Initially noted music until 1029
when a
female comments and gives ID. This is followed with a fanfare type musical
segment.
At 1030, she and a male present news in Spanish. This continues until 1050
when
music is presented again. At 1058 a gentleman comments briefly. The female
returns at 1100 with ID and brief comments. Signal has deterioated from a
fair to threshold by 1100. (Chuck Bolland, February 11, 2008)
Peru, 4774.97, Radio Tarma, 1107-1115 Noted a male in Spanish comments at
tune in. At 1109 canned promos followed with live comments again. Heard ID
during this barrage as, "Tarma Radio". Signal remained at a fair level.

And another trick is to get one of those old-style really heavy
soldering irons. Sometimes these are still available from hardware
stores, and usually draw about 250 watts or more in power.
These soldering irons have a wide heavy copper tip on them. You can use
the propane torch to heat the tip, leaving the heat on long enough to
get the entire body of the iron hot, and then use the iron to solder the
wire.
No flames, and generally won't melt insulation too bad.
There are soldering tips for propane torches, though I haven't seen
these lately. They are copper tips with holes for the flame a ways back
from the tip.

This is interesting!
I reported Radio Bulgaria's special transmission Nov 11th on 15700 kHz, both
via e-mail and snail mail. I haven't heard anything from them since that!
Are there other HCDX-ers waiting for a reply? Was the Event Station an amateur
radio event?

My Beverages run through a thick, wooded area and take
a beating during the winter months. Something you may
want to consider using for soldering spliced wire,
while a few hundred feet from an electrical outlet, is
Radio Shack low-heat tape solder. I found it heats up
and bonds quite well with just an ordinary butane
lighter, even during winter.
I started using tape solder after wasting my money on
a battery operated ColdHeat soldering iron for use
outside the home. The thing doesn't heat up for beans
under optimum indoor conditions.

Patrick,
If you need to solder wire in cold weather, use a
propane torch. A
torch is
best suited to uninsulated stranded copper wire, as
the heat will cause
the
insulation on typical "zip cord" extension wire to
melt back on either
side
of the spice - but it will deliver enough heat to make
a perfect solder
joint in just seconds - even if the ambient temps are
quite cold. Use
rather
heavy gauge rosin-core solder, and set the flame as
low as possible.
It's
best to do it when the winds are calm.
I constructed a 300-foot horizontal loop that had six
spices - all of
which
were soldered in this fashion. It has held up
perfectly through 4
northeastern winters.
