HCJB 6050, R. Logos 4810 & R. Tarma 4775 Apr 8

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

On Saturday about 830pm (0430UTC Sun) I logged HCJB/The Vocie of The Andes on 6050khz with 10kw beamed at 18 degrees from Quito, Ecaudor at just absolutely bangin levels or over 20 minutes. I would've been plenty happy if that was the highlight of my DX logs for the day...

...but it wasn't!! At 126am Sun (0926UTC, I had 1kw non directional Radio Logos in Peru with music fading up a bit over/under CODAR(Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar is used for near-surface ocean monitoring) It wasn't great but it was obvious.

Then I decided to wait a little longer and at 153am, I tuned over to 4775khz and heard CODAR just hammering away but I also clearly had a carrier there that wasn't CODAR. And within a minute of listed sign on, I heard some Peruvian type music kick on and heard several announcements and even very clearly made out a partial phone number from Radio Tarma!!

ATS2 Max Radio, 15 foot Wellbrook loop, DXE Preamp and Emtech ZM2 tuner (This tuner makes all the difference on week signals!!!)
