CIAO (?) 530 AM 0021 UTC 24 Dec 2016
« on: December 24, 2016, 0025 UTC »
I am hearing at least two stations here. One seems to be CIAO Brampton ON, I am hearing Indian accented announcers. This has to be the source of some of the audio for the Bangalore Poacher  ;D

Not sure who the other station is. It does not sound like a TIS.

Aside from CIAO, there are two Cubans also occupying 530 these days.  Radio Enciclopedia with the beautiful music format and Radio Rebelde.

Thanks Kilokat7!  I'll give a listen another evening, and see if I an pick out more details. This was using the sky loop, which is usually deaf on the lower end of the MW band, so I was pleasantly surprised to hear anything at all.

R. Enciclopedia has been there quite a while (several years), and is usually dominant here.  Lately though, CIAO has been stronger than usual.
