[HCDX] DX Loggings - Ralph Perry - 1 Oct

[Ralph Perry <ralphperry@xxxxxxxxx>]

PERU -  4774.95, thanks to all for help in determining that R Tarma is apparently the Peruvian here in the mornings.  Was hoping for something more surprising  /interesting than this favorite Andes station, but IDs of R Tarma by several fellow DXers of the broadcasts on this precise fqy seem to leave little in doubt.  Thanks to Thomas N, Dario M, Pedro A and Henrik K!   Last winter I was able to hear R Tarma with very nice signals, quite often, so eventually I also should be able to hear an ID to set my mind at ease, too, hi.   Yesterday hrd this station again, not  even a third as strong as I've heard R Tarma in the past, but with clear "cinco de la manana . . . " t/cks during the 1000 hour and also references to " . . . nuestra programacion de la musica nacional . . ."   One other question remains to be answered, though:  just how many live pgm streams does R Tarma produce?  I previously would have thought just one, relayed on AM, FM and
 onda corta.  But at least one morning this week, I noted unique, independent programming 'live' on onda corta versus the live webcast's program.  Surprising to hear a morning folklorico pgm with live t/cks on the 
shortwave fqy, and then a second, unique (not the O.C. being relayed) 
morning folklorico pgm with live t/cks on the webstream. The shortwave programming was the beloved, very funky tuba huayno type, featuring what could only be recordings of a small Andean village's folkloric marching band.  On the other hand, the webcast carried music that I'd call techno-folklorico, being very fast-paced huaynos, staccato and endlessly repetitive, on synthesizer with electronic percussion.   Rather unpleasant stuff, at least for my ears, as I am a traditionalist in this regard, hi.   What is this world coming to?  hi    The R Tarma website seems to indicate shared programming for AM and FM.   I have written them to try and sort this out . . .  (Perry, Illinois)
