[HCDX] DX Logs - Ralph Perry - 13 Mar

[Ralph Perry <ralphperry@xxxxxxxxx>]

BRAZIL:  9593.0v-.23v, unid. Brazilian but strongly  believe "Super Radio Deus e 
Amor" in Sao Paolo.  First noted as an unid  LA, when fading-in at 2236 3/10.  
Het notchable, OM vy weak with anmts  in PP or SS, orchls, but weak signal.  
Followed to 2257, sig building  but not really workable.   Retuned at 2230 on 
3/12 and rewarded to hear  no het this day. Initially only a carrier but sig 
soon fading in with  nightfall in ZY land.  Definitely PP anmts and seemed 
sports/futebol nx  show with replay, recorded game clips.  Noted EZL / MoR 
ballads at 2310  recheck when signal better still, but no ID yet.  Searched 
lists at hand  and learned that frequency-nomadic "Super R. Deus e Amor" of Sao 
Paolo  has recently been IDed here by Euro DXers.  Cool log.  (R Perry,  
Illinois)

COLOMBIA:  5910, the Puerto Lleras xmtr noted with a morning xmsn  on 3/12, 
1104-1118.  Romantic HJ canciones with guitar and accordian.   Deep fade cycle, 
nice at peaks and all but gone at troughs.   OM locutor  mentioning "la radio 
colombiana" but didn't ID relay source (Marfil  Estereo or Alcaravan Radio).  
Need to get to this earlier next time,  before propagation path fade-out.  But 
as luck would have it, gh in Enid  OK was tuning this just hours earlier and 
reports that it was a relay  of Radio Alcaravan -- tnx for ID!  (R Perry, 
Illinois)

BOLIVIA - Radio Lipex, Uyuni, heard with fair sig but blipping ute QRM  at 1025 
until lost at 1047 on 3/12.  Ancr a high-voiced OM in SS and  lang (QQ or 
Aymara?) between Andes-flavored music, with clear mentions  of 'Bolivia' and 
several t/cks for GMT-4.  Nice opening this morning to  the Andes, with good 
signals noted when checking the usual suspects:   4700 R San Miguel @1020; 4747 
R Huanta 2000 also @1020, 4815 R El Buen  Pastor @1040; and 4955 R Cultural 
Amauta @1045.  No show for 6134 R  Santa Cruz, tho.  (R Perry, Illinois)

SOLOMON ISLANDS - 5019.85t, SIBC Honiara, tentative, noted 3/13 1125  tune-in 
with pretty good carrier level and pgming decipherable mainly  when blaring Cuba 
5025 in pgm pauses.  Sig fading up by 1200 but still  nearly unusable.  
Fragments of orchl and piano music, OM with muffled  anmts (intonation and pace 
at times sounding EE but not readable).  Some  country music. OM long anmt 1155 
to top of hour, with burst of orchl  mx.  Anmts continued on hr, then orchl 
music or theme 1202 (almost  sounded lika NA, but not sure) and lost 1204.  At 
1205.30 seems carrier  was cut.  All I can say is this is a pretty painful way 
to tune Honiara  -- back in the day, they used to come in a heckuva lot better 
than this .  . . ;-)    (R Perry, Illinois)
