[HCDX] DX Loggings -- 1 Feb -- Ralph Perry
SURINAM - 4989.99, Radio Apintie, Paramaribo, 0813 – 0844 on 1/26
with 1950s pops, very weak. Again on 1/27 at 0938, seemed a rlg show
for Sunday morning. Tuff station, almost never hrd well. (Perry,
Illinois)
PERU – 5980.00, Radio Chaski, Urubamba, Dpto. Cusco, tnx to TN tip,
first hrd this on1/26 at 2355 tune-in with YL + choir. Signal held up
pretty well until I left it at 0020, altho after TOH, Chaski was
underneath some serious QRM. (But at least no het, as signals were
dead zero-beat). Lucky to snag nice recorded ID at 0000, w/OM
mentioning “Radio Chaski!” and “5980 kHz . . . onda corta.” Then short
folklorico theme as conclusion of the recorded ID. Same canned ID
heard at approx. 0000 the following night, too. On that evening 1/27,
tuned in earlier and noted Chaski signal abruptly coming up about
2315. Nondescript inspirational SS rlg pgming, ending with a capella
choir at 2355 singing familiar hymn, “Praise To The Lord, The
Almighty”. And again, at 0000 came that same recorded ID. QRM really
blew Chaski out of the water this night, though, from 0000 making
reception impossible for me. Mornings, the fqy is swamped by R. Marti
and the jammers chasing same. (Perry, Illinois)
PERU – 4810, Radio Logos, very good signal morning of 1/27 at 0940,
best heard on low side of blipping CODAR QRM. Nice patter from DJ
with program of campesino favorites and locally-produced folksy hymns.
At 0946, he mentioned (studio clock seemingly running slow): “4 de la
mañana y 44 minutos, 4 y 44, Uds. Escuchando a la emisora …. la hora
de esperanza … las 4 de la mañana en Radio Logos.” Then came coro of
YLs singing in QQ, a nice huayno with the full accompaniment of
guitars, charangos and flutes. Signal kept improving thru to 1030
t/o. (Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL - 4965.00, Radio Alvorada, doing better than average this past
week, noted most mornings around 1000+; good ID 1003 on 1/28. (Perry,
Illinois)
PERU – 4747.11, Radio Huanta 2000, many mornings around 1030. On 1/27
rapid-fire ads by OM and Yl at 1033, then mention of “Banco de la
Comunidad de Huanta” at 1035. Full ID for “Radio Huanta 2000” and
mention of “una voz internacional”. Into OA folklorico pgming.
Signal still there most mornings past 1100, but not signing on until
1015 at the earliest. Doing well 1/28 at 1041 with long ad string
and nice folklorico selections to the hour. At 1100, “En todo el
país, son las 6 y Radio Huanta acompañarles . . . “ (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR – 4814.98, Radio El Buen Pastor, presumed, definitely an
Ecuadorian here and doing fairly well after 1100 several mornings this
week. Ecuadorian music the tip-off and I think I recognize the
ultra-bassy voiced locutor from before. Ad string 1/27 at 1105 under
blipping ute QRM. Signal still there, but weak, at recheck 1135.
(Perry, Illinois)
PERU – 5025, Radio Quillabamba, very nice (relatively speaking!) 1032
on 1/28, underneath Rebelde but clear enough with shrill quenas and
yipping Quechua ‘rap’ f/by OM SS anmts. Caught 5 a.m. t/ck at 1036
f/by another nice huaynos presented by YL with quenas and guitar.
Also logged 1/29 and 1/30. (Perry, Illinois)
ECUADOR – 6050.00, HCJB, Pichincha, relaying the local AM service, 2/1
at 1027-1056. OM ancr mainly speaking QQ but his patter is liberally
sprinkles with SS words. Lovely musica ecuatoriana and frequent t/ck
IDs such as at 1033, “Cinco treinta y tres, 5-33 en H C J B . . .
programa de las provincias . . . “ Program was assisted by the famous
Ecuadorian “Casa de la Cultura” and featured a folklore group from
Provincia Imbabura. Fun stuff and am glad this one is still there!
