PIRATE (EUROPE) 9280 Mike R. Set the NRD and MD recorder and recorded in AM mode. Signal seemed to come on at 0232:27, then Rock mx began about 20 seconds later. Canned ID anmnt at 0237. Live voice-over anmnt at 0244 w/ment of USA. After song was playing for about a minute, hrd another jingle. Another live anmnt at 0248-0250 over what sounded like "Radar Love". Ment of broadcast and e-mail. Getting slightly better. Canned ID at 0256, then Rock song I couldn't recognize. 0300 short live ID ".listening to Mike R." and e-mail addr, mx briefly, and cont. tlk. More of the same. Not very strong, but there with a lot of static noise. Towards 0330, I thought the signal faded, but it turned out Mike changed freq to 9260 to avoid splatter from 9305 which I also was getting. (24 May)
COSTA RICA 5954.17 ELCOR xmtr 0346 LA Pops at t/in. Nonstop mx to 0405, deadair, then signal off at 0406:06. Good signal w/adjacent slop QRM. Apparently still testing. (24 May) BOLIVIA 4409.81 R. Eco Seemed like nx pgm hosted by M at 0017. Long ad block at 0020-0028 w/second by W in heavy echo. 0026 M returned w/TC and tlk. Nice canned ID w/"4,410 khz" freq (including meterband) by M over piano mx at 0039 during break in tlk by live M. Unfortunately it was ruined by buzzsaw-like UTE QRM. Into nonstop mx at 0042 going past ToH. Dropped off after 0100. Sounded like the same ID at 0145, again ruined by the UTE. Then off at 0146*. Best hrd in a long time. (30 May) MEXICO 6104.77 Candela FM Nice signal at 1044 w/LA Pops. Dropped off quickly in the next 5 minutes. Rapid-tlking live W host at 1050, same as hrd in the past. TC and ment of Mexicana at one point. Canned anmnt at 1100, but impossible due to weakening signal and slop QRM from adjacent channel.
