Excellent reception on all three frequencies - Portuguese/Spanish service 17515  Could not find a transmission for this frequency at this hour, noticed RV uses it, listened and figured it out. 17540 English translation, 17525 French translation - live coverage

1618 OM host in Portuguese - mentions Santa Cruz
1620 Pope in Spanish while host translates in Spanish (?), audience applauds
1631 Coverage continues on all three frequencies
1637 Peruvian Choir singing
