Bolivia, 4716.70, Radio Yura, 1000-1015, Noted a very weak signal here that is audible intermittently with music and Spanish comments from a male. As noted the signal is threshold at best. (Chuck Bolland, October 09, 2009)
Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1012-1033, Noted music and Spanish comments from a male. This signal was threshold with periods when it disappeared completely. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Peru, 6075, Radio Causauki Coca, 1018-1030, Although Causauki Coca is at a threshold level, it's easy to identify with a male in Spanish language comments. His talk continues during the period. Signal was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Peru, 4824.47, Voz de la Selva, 1036-1045, With a very strong carrier but having poor audio, noted a program of steady music here. There's some canned promos occasionally between musical selections, but everything seems to be canned. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Peru, 4835.44, Radio Maranon, 1040-1050, Noted music at tune in with a female (possibly canned) giving TC over music. However, after each tune concluded a male in Spanish comments. Also heard a female commenting. The signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Peru, 5039.19, Radio Libertad, 1049-1100, This signal is threshold consequently the signal is "iffy" at this time. Noted a female(?) in comments between fade out. Music was also heard during the period. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 1053-1100, Noted a male in Pidgin language comments. At 1057 local type music heard. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009) Although there were a good quantity of stations on the air this morning, none had listenable signals. Each one was either very poor or threshold. Even so, a month ago conditions were worst. I guess I should be thinking positive and be looking forward to the fall and winter months when traditionally DX improves. In the meantime, I might get out there with some Brasso and give my antenna a good cleaning - just joking. I doubt if that would help? Or maybe it would? I wonder ....? Whatever I decide, I must remind myself to be careful. I saw a rattle snake in my yard yesterday as I was cutting the grass. It was only a "pigmy" rattler, but those things can put a hurting on me if I get bite? One of them bite my dog last year and my dog was hurting for a week. I haven't been killing the rattle snakes I find in my yard. Instead, I catch them and carry them to another spot away from my property. Unfortunately, the ones I carry away either come back or they have a bunch of twin brothers? Someone told me to get some "snake away" which I did, but it seems that doesn't repel them. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on where I walk.
