Indonesia, 4749.978, RRI Makassar, Tentative, 1030-1045, Noted a male in Islamic type reciting until 1034 when a female talks in Indonesian language. After she comments, a brief interlude of music is heard, then more comments. At 1036 a male converses with the female. Signal was poor and muffled. As I decided to tune away, I notice a second signal on 4750.030 starting to fade in, but it's still too weak to copy anything. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Micronesia, 4755.452, Cross Radio,Tentative, 1044-1055, Noted a weak signal here with possibly religious singing? Signal still needs time to reach it's peak fade in time. At 1046, believe a female commented briefly. Rechecked this at 1145, and the signal had improved to a poor level while music was heard. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Peru, 4774.959, Radio Tarma, 1048-1100, Brief Spanish language comments at tune in which was followed with Huaynos music. Signal remained at a fair level during this period. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Brazil, 4865.041, Radio Verdes Florestas, 1103-1115, Principly noted a male in Portuguese language comments until about 1108 when a female comments in Portuguese. At 1113 the male returns with comments. This is the only signal on or near this frequency at the present time. I suppose the other Brazilian stations and Radio Logos are all "Sleepy Heads". (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Peru, 4955.006, Radio Cultura Amauta, 1117-1130 Yes with the best signal on the band, noted a male and female in what sounded like serious Spanish comments. Heard the male mention "Amauta" here and there during his comments. This sounds like a news program with reports being presented by other anouncers. After listening for awhile, "Amauta and Peru" are mentioned rather often. And as mentioned above, the signal is good. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Peru, 4986.385, Radio Manantial, Tent, 1125-1150, Noted a fair signal at tune in with a female in Spanish Language comments. From her tone, she sounded as if she were giving a religious discourse, which continued during the period. Tried to find some backup information on this. Ran a search for DXLD, but Google rejected me. I'm use to it. Checked out AOKI's database and Manantial was listed on 4991 KHz. Next I looked at EIBI and Manantial was listed on 4986 KHz. Signal was fair to threshold during the period. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) Papua New Guinea, 3325.008, Radio Buka,Tent, 1150-1200, Noted a thresholds signal here which is better than usual. Most of the time just a carrier is heard on this freq at my location. With that in mind, noted a male and female talking together. Couldn't identify the language 100 percent, but my best guess is Pidgin. At 1200 some bridge music and more comments by a female. And as mentioned, the signal is threshold. (Chuck Bolland, February 4, 2011) WR-G31DDC 26N 081W Note: If I were to put a value on the work I've done this morning, I would say I earned at least $500.00 and that's for only an hour or so. Relax, I am just joking around. Conditions were good this morning compared to the usual conditions I notice here in my area and I was able to turn on the receiver a little earlier than I normally do. So in the list of loggings above, there are three(3) stations that I haven't reported before. Things are looking up. ---[Start Commercial]---------------------
