[HCDX] unbelievable Latin logs highlights

[Mirela Chiochiu <acq@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I`m in a big rush so some tips and unIDs...help required...

Equipment used: Sanyo MCD-S830 and repaired Sony CFS-6000 boomboxes with two phased PK magnetic and Select-A-Tenna loops.

780 VENEZUELA   YVOD, Ecos del Torbes, San Cristobal, estado Táchira FEB 5 0404 - break between two romantic songs with the well known "desde está noche, recuerdos" program ID that blewed me away when I started tropical band DXing during the summer of 2000 when Ecos del Torbes was active on 4980 kHz. Poor, barely above QRM. NEW ON MEDIUMWAVE ! ¡ ESTADO NUEVO, NUMERO 7 ! ¡ Primera vez desde Táchira ! It is also the first time I get so deep inland Venezuela. (Chiochiu-QC)

780 VENEZUELA   YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, estado Falcón FEB 5 0504 - "...siempre en primer lugar" followed by a kind of tropical ballad. Very weak, occasional fade-ins, presumably running lower power allowing other unheard Latins to sneak through. (Chiochiu-QC)

780 COLOMBIA   unID FEB 5 0450 - back-to-back Colombian cumbias, way over Radio Coro (back to what power level ?) and adjacent channel splatter. Fairly good signal strength. HJZW or HJZG ? Which one is still on the air ? I taped some of the accordeon based cumbias if someone wants to look at, but I doubt there is much ID material on the tape, otherwise. (Chiochiu-QC)

830 unID FEB 5 0220 - HELP NEEDED, for about half an hour had Spanish Adult Contemp. vocals here under WNYC open carrer including a Spanish version of the Andrea Bocelli / Hélène Ségaras Vivo Perlei smash hit, but WNYC coming back with regular programming just before 10 PM EST killed any chance of getting a top-of-the-hour ID here. However, WNYC still had open carrer here around 0245 UTC / 9:45 PM EST as I went out of the bath with the tape still running unattended, so I must have missed something. At least, that`s what I hope. (Chiochiu-QC)

840 CUBA   at least two stations (CMHW Santa Clara and CMCA Havana) FEB 5 0204 - two stations, one playing Spanish AC music and another one with old-fashionned Cuban vocals, no evidence of WHAS in heavy auroral condx. ID as "Radio ? Ría" or something similar, presumed to be a program name on CMCA or something else. (Chiochiu-QC)

860 unID FEB 5 0150 - lively Latin music and LA Q slogans mixing with Radio Reloj and aurora subdued CJBC (which was often completly nil, an unbelievable occurence, indeed). Help needed, didn`t sound like YVYE in Valle de Pascua estado Guarico (Enlace Ocho Sesenta) which is Mark Connelly`s pest, as no required joropos were played, so apparently something else. (Chiochiu-QC)

870 Reloj Arroyo Arrenas over WCBS-880 Stallinist jammer... this one is a clear sign of Aurora ! (Chiochiu-QC)

895 NEVIS   VON, Bath Village FEB 5 0050 - reggae music with DJ voice over, including a Bob Marley song but also more obscure material. NEW ! (Chiochiu-QC)

More coming, but I have to leave, I just need some help on the unIDs heard on 780, 820, 860 and...1070 (with Andean pop music, despite WTIC next door)...

May the good DX be with you !
A full report is coming !
