Correction to my log from March 28: “PERU”. 5952.49, Radio Pio Doce, Siglo Veinte, 0150-0234*, March 28, Spanish talk. Some Peruvian music. ID at 0225. “River Kwai March” signature tune at 0232 & Spanish announcements to sign off. They seem to always play the River Kwai March at sign off. Poor, very difficult copy with strong splatter from WYFR 5950. (Brian Alexander, PA) This is actually BOLIVIA. Not Peru. Sorry about that. Thanks to Dario Monferini & Glenn Hauser for bringing this to my attention.
