ARGENTINA
.. 940 kHz: Radio Chajari, Chajari (@) – in Spanish. Jan. 2 at 0451-0456. Comments by an OM, Argentinian songs. S=2. It was possible to understand what Radio Chajari was broadcasting, even with a very strong station here in Brazil, the Rede Boa Vontade de Radio, 940 kHz, broadcasting from Rio de Janeiro – a little over 300 km from where I live. A favorable factor was that Mr. Paiva Neto, the main leader of this religious organization, usually pauses in his speeches, which made it possible to hear Radio Chajari in the background.
