Radio Nacional de Amazonia 6180

[East Troy Don]

6180 KHZ @ 0234 UTC with some pretty good head-bopping Latino tunes tonite .  Canned YM ID @ 02:37 then back to music.   
Ballad with YM vocals @ 02:47.
Strong signal but weather static crashes throughout.

SINPO: 4-2-2-3-3
TX: Brasillia

It's amazing how that station, day in and day out, seems to deliver an S9 signal up here on both 11780 and 6180.

Its 6,324 miles from transmit site to your QTH.   You got me by 1,530 miles - those 250 Brazilian watts must be working OT tonite

Now I'm trying to remember the old frequencies Radio Bras - Radio Nacional do Brasil would use in the '80s. I'd probably have to look that up on an old QSL card, but I haven't unpacked my collection from our recent move.

In any case, I don't remember Radio Bras coming in as well in those days; but my radio and antenna weren't as good back then, either.

I agree although its futile (but fun)to compare the "good ol' days" of the Cold War 80's broadcasters with what's out there today.  Most of the SW Superstations are gone, reduced or aren't targeting North American anymore so they aren't burying the tropical stations like they used to.  Just a theory.
