[HCDX] Recent Loggings and Observations

[Dave Valko <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

PERU   3329.59  Ondas del Huallaga (pres.)  CHU has been off leaving this 
in the clear today.  1005 Huayno mx w/Harps easily cutting through the 
static.  Canned short promo by M and W after every song (1006, 1009, 1013, 
etc.).  Finally live M anncr at 1027 w/ment of Amazonas, then back to 
mx.  Too much static and fading, otherwise would have been good opportunity 
to get a nice recording of this w/CHU off.  (Valko 2 Oct.)

PERU   4835.47  R. Maranon  Big OC, then start up at 1001:40 w/canned full 
ID w/freqs by alternating M and W, the probably every canned ID/promo they 
had in their studio!!!  One included ment of "50 anos" repeated like 
echo.  Finally into beautiful OA Harp Huayno mx.  Roosters during song at 
1008.  Always at least fairly strong but modulation is rather low.  The 
ID/promos are really animated.  Great stuff!!  This has to be my favorite 
OA for pgmming.  If this is indeed their 50th anniversary, it would be a 
good time to write them.  (Valko 2 Oct.)

BRAZIL   6089.96  R. Bandeirantes  No sign of Caribbean Beacon at 0924 
t/in.  Tlk by M, TC, usual Cat meowing often, ment of California, Sao 
Paulo.  0926 ID/promo by M, tlk by W then M.  Canned ID over mx at 
0929.  More canned anmnts and Bon Dia, then another ID.  Caribbean Beacon 
finally came on at 0936:42 w/10 seconds of OC then audio on in 
mid-preaching.  (Valko 3 Oct.)

BOLIVIA   6079.95  R. San Gabriel  Already on at 0950.  Time ticks at 
0957:22!!!  Good enough to ID but didn't stay w/it.  M tlk in Aymara.  Ment 
of campesinos.  (Valko 3 Oct.)

BOLIVIA   6134.8  R. Santa Cruz  Came on this morning at 0913:13 w/OC and 
canned ID/promo and live M w/ID, ment of "tres de frecuencias" and 
QTH.  Fair but abt equal strength w/the ZY at this time.  Clearer 
later.  (5 Oct.)  Next morning came on at exactly 0915:00.  Seems to be 
coming on around 0915 now.  (Valko 6 Oct.)

COLOMBIA   6035.02  LV de Guaviare  0954-1004, Nice Rancheras amid slop 
from 6030.  Live M at 1002, then canned ID by M, and cont. live M but 
clobbered.  (Valko  5 Oct.)

PERU   4965.83  R. Santa Monica or Santa Ana??  1004 M over mx in pres. 
Aymara w/ment of Amazonas, Enrique Rodriguez, Peru, and ending w/ID again 
sounding like R. Santa Ana.  Into campesino mx.  1007 clearer ID as R. 
Santa Ana.  1009 buenos dias and another R. Santa Ana ID, then more 
campesino mx for a minute.  Seemingly comunicados, followed by Huayno 
mx.  Roosters and canned ID (weak audio) during song at 1016.  More of the 
same.  Decent signal still at 1030 but dropped out like a rock quickly 
after 1030 and nearly gone 7 minutes later!!  Been checking for this nearly 
every morning since first hearing it 3 weeks ago.  Finally 
reappeared.  Troubled by het from the ZY below so used USB.  IDs are 
definitely Santa Ana.  Did they change their name or could it be a pgm as 
Bob Wilkner suggests??  (5 Oct.)  Heard again this morning at 1002 but much 
weaker.  Same M anncr.  Strong enough to hear the "Santa Ana"s 
though.  (Valko 6 Oct.)

ECUADOR   4918.97  R. Quito  Back on again!!  0856 nx or press pgm.  Mx 
bridge and ID by M.  Still distorted, but strong w/QRM from ZY below.  Mx 
pgm after ToH.  (Valko 6 Oct.)

PERU   5014.43  R. Altura  Already on at 0950.  Nice canned ID during ad 
block at 1004, then live M anncr.  Poor to fair.  (Valko 6 Oct.)

BOLIVIA   6079.96  R. San Gabriel  1007-1030  Alternating tlk by usual M 
and W anncr hosts in Aymara w/many ments of Politica.  Ment of R. San 
Gabriel by W at one point.  1011 campesino mx, back to tlk at 1013.  Fading 
pretty quickly after 1015.  (Valko 6 Oct.)

Conditions not very good this morning (7 Oct.) so nothing to report.  The 
way things go these days, its almost a given that conditions will be awful 
on the weekend!!
