Argentina, 6060, Radio Argentina al Exterior, Tent, 0930-0945, Not sure
of this one. Noted a female in Spanish language during the majority of the
time. Every once in awhile, a male briefly comments. The noise is very
bad.
Consequently, significant details are lacking. At 0936 the signal started
to
fade into the noise and by 0945 it was gone. Signal faded back to a
threshold level after the hour. (Chuck Bolland, April 16, 2009)
Brazil, 6150, Radio Record, 0945-1000, Noted a program of popular music
and Portuguese comments from a male. He was joined by a female at 0950.
Signal was poor at tune in, but by 0950 it seemed to be fading in just a
little to
a fair level. (Chuck Bolland, April 16, 2009)
Bolivia, 6155.28, Radio Fides, 0952-1000, Noted a female in Spanish
language comments. He mentions Bolivia often in her comments. However,
Bolivia wasn't the only place named, she mentions "Cuba", "Havana" and
"Puerto
Rico". At 0955 a canned ID presented but not copied. This followed by a
male in comments, which was probably news. Heard "Obama" mentioned.
Canned Ads before the hour. Signal was poor to threshold. (Chuck Bolland,

Hi John,
Very true, but the result would still have been the same had Radio Australia
followed the examples of other broadcasters and shut down shortwave, in this
case, it would have boosted Radio New Zealand International's listener
figures.
I heard on this morning's RNZ local news, foreign reporters will again be
admitted into Fiji, RNZI will be sending in a reporter over the weekend, I
imagine that this could be a step along the way to having the local RA FM
station reinstated.

Peru, 6019.40, Radio Victoria, 2319-2330 Setting on this freq prior to 2319
with
only the carrier audible, at 2319 the audio popped in with a female in
Spanish
comments. She's shortly joined by a male. This continues to 2330 and
beyond.
Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, April 16, 2009)
South Africa, 3320, Radio Sonder Grense,(pres), 2331-2345, Noted a person
in
comments. Could distinguish the language at this time since the signal was
just
fading in to threshold. The signal did not improve over the next few
minutes.

Peru, 6195.77, Radio Cusco,(pres) 0038-0100, Part two: Noted a male in
Spanish language comments. Can't recognize what the comments are referring?
He could
be discribing a sporting event or a religious revival? The noise is just a
little stronger
than Cusco's signal. most of the time. At 0055 music heard At 0057 noted a
canned ID from a female as: "...Radio Cusco ..." during the music which
continued.
Heavy duty QRM on the hour at 0100 blocks Cusco completely. (Chuck
