UNID(BOLIVIA?) – 6154.93, interesting unid, apparently LA (and strongly suspect R. Fides, La Paz, Bolivia). First noted weakly 5/27 0120-0200+. Pretty fair but muffled mod on 5/29 at 0115 when other benchmark Bolivians barreling in on 49 meters. The signal’s fade-in and peak seem to nicely // behavior of 5952.42 R. Pio Doce and 6134.83 R. Santa Cruz. Decent QSA last night, 6/6, at 0040-0120+. but no ID pulled yet. Pgming quite nondescript, mainly MoR LA ballad-type music or schlock pop, occasionally long tlks in definite SS by YL, such as at ToH 0100. Also had male ancr in SS on 5/27. Signal typically weak and only fair at peak QSA, muffled audio, and quite bad slop ex 6165 some nights starting arnd 0100. Now may be as good as it gets, to work this, since not good prospects here for winter reception -- darkness path to subcontinent allows AIR to often dominate this fqy around this time. Need more ears on this one – DXing partner Don Jensen and I have been working this nightly for quite a few nights, but no success pulling the ID yet. Not noted running in parallel, with usual lag, to R. Fides webstream’s pgming. But of course, this observation does not eliminate Fides possibility (stns often feed the web independently of the SW feed), but would have been a nice way to nail this, had a parallel been heard with the online pgming. (Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL – 6059.95 Super Radio Deus e Amor, Curitiba, lengthy ID and fqy anmts 0900 on 5/28, into pgm of Brazilian pop ballads, OM PP anmts. Noted // 6120.01, but latter fqy much weaker. (Perry, Illinois) SOLOMON ISLANDS – 5019.88 Honiara with decent sig 1045 on 4/25 but muffled, OM in EE with nx pgm, bursts of orchl mx. Carrier was noted as early at 0930 but no modulation yet. (Perry, Illinois) COLOMBIA – 6010.08, LV de Tu Conciencia, Puerto Lleras, often noted around 0730+, fair sig with guitar ballads and OM SS anmts, some rlg choral mx. OM inspirational tlks in SS. Full IDs for “LV de Tu Conciencia” and fqy quotes, also. Clear of usual trouble from the OA at this time, of late. Usually I hear XEOI Núcleo R Míl much better here, tho on the lower side of 6010.
