R. Nac'l de Amazonias 11780kHz

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

KILLER signal from Radio Nacional de Amazonias with some crooner/standards music in english but with Portuguese speaking announcers. S9+55 in peaks with 100kw from near Brasilia, Brazil.  Their intended target? The remote northern parts of the country.  I am about 7000 miles PAST their target area! Heard at 0120UTC Mon Sept 19th (Sun at 520pm local AK Time). Far far far from a new catch and when CX is good, R. Nac'l de amazonias is often one of the best signals on the band for me.


ATS25 radio, DXE preamp and 2 tunable HF loops

When there's not a peep of a signal on that band, Amazonia will be blasting away on 11780. It's an old friend.

BTW, never go to Frostburg,MD. It's the fog capitol of the Eastern U.S.A. It's a pretty place on the one day a decade you can see anything.

SINPO: 33243 , Solid signal with the usual Sunday ranter venting his lungs in Portuguese on 11780.
