[HCDX] DX Loggings - Ralph Perry - 10 May

[Ralph Perry <ralphperry@xxxxxxxxx>]

PERU - 4790, Radio Vision, Chiclayo, good signals on 5/6 and 5/7 during 
100-1040+ period.  Big signal with charismatic preacher leading prayers at 1010 
on 5/6, best signal in the band.  At 1000 on 5/7, OM providing network sked into 
at 1000, mentioning 'cadena peruana radial . . .'.  City names (Cajamarca, 
Chiclayo) in the network also heard.  (R Perry, Illinois)

COLOMBIA - 6035.02, La Voz del Guaviare, 5/3 with usual rosary show at 1011 
first note, modulation cranking up and well heard by 1015. 1030 program change 
to romantic canciones noted, per usual, along with OM deejay with what sounded 
like a full info s/on anmt and ID.  Horrible side slop gets worse after BOH and 
never fails to drive me away . . .  Nice signal on 5/7 at 1024 with YL locutora 
giving schedule info, as rosary show had just ended. (R Perry, Illinois)

UNID LA - 4865.03v unid Latin heard several mornings this week from. 1015-1030 
on 5/6, only weak to fair signal and really can't work.  High-voiced OM locutor 
but too weak to differentiate if SS or PP . . . and then what sounded like a rlg 
hymn this morning at 1030.  Bad QRN.  A little better on 5/7 at 1003 t/in with 
LA ballads, orch and YL/OM duet in love songs.  Segued programming, so no anmts 
for key country clue. Perhaps can eliminate Alvorada (the ZY), as found this 
pgming not // Alvorada's online stream.  Don't want to leap to any identify 
guesses here, tho, and am still somewhat skeptical that this could be the 
often-list-reported R Logos from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.  As the old 
joke goes, R. Logos may be reported a lot more often than it is heard, hi hi.  
Other sets of ears invited to work on this one, tnx.  (R Perry, Illinois)

ETHIOPIA - 6110, R. Fana, Addis Ababa, 0310 5/9 nice booming signal on clear fqy 
with what others have been called "Horn of Africa pop mx".  (This type of mx, 
often schmaltzy love pop, mainly with organ, horns and heavy bass, is eerily 
similar to the nightclub music played in cabarets in SE Asia; heard a lot of 
this stuff in the 1980s.  0316 OM anmts in lang, pres. Amharic, and then the 
instls continued.  Pleasant listening and armchair level -- good enough to set 
as background music while working on other stuff in the office!  (R Perry, 
Illinois)
