Shortwave Broadcast / Re: UNID station 9620 Khz
« on: February 12, 2024, 0357 UTC »Hearing a range of pop music (60's - 80's) along with English male announcer on 9620 Khz. I've not been able to catch an ID yet as there is deep qsb at times.
I checked three online sources for the time you posted, all identify it as China National Radio 2 albeit not in English.
Eibi lists it as China business Radio which wouldnt be playing music or in english.
It would be helpful to include your location and time of your post, cendoubleu

Shortwave Broadcast / Interesting note about 6180/11780 R. Nac'l Brazil
« on: February 12, 2024, 0351 UTC »
I've noticed something interesting about Radio Nacional de Amazonias
They're LISTED on till 0300 but ever since the start of A23 or about the time change in the US, theyd been going off at 0200.
I surmise that may have been, at one point, because China had an 11780 00-01 and 02-03 at some point.
Well, the last 3 nights, ive heard 6180 and 11780 Brazil sail past the 0200 usual sign off and in fact, sail way past the 0300 sign off.. staying on till about 0330 or so.. though i havent been at my radio exactly when they go off, so i cant say for sure.
But they are my current favorite SW station so ive been paying them close attention.

MW Loggings / Re: Mexico In Alaska!
« on: January 09, 2024, 1501 UTC »
About 802-805pm AK Wed Dec 27, I had some spanish language music on 1410khz and couldn't for the life of me tell you what flavor/format it was but I did hear a female voiceover say a bunch of things, of which I understood a word, "Sabrosita"
I thought surely this was a west coast station. Well, I went to Google and only got ONE hit for "Sabrosita" on 1410, being XEBS.
So, I tuned in to the webstream and im more than 90 percent positive, the female voiceover talent I'm hearing doing the station liners on the stream is the same one I heard on 1410khz.
25kw Day 10kw night at 4000 miles

Sun Jan 7th
XERDO 1060 Matamoros, Tamaulipas, near Brownsville TX. 7pm I almost passed this up thinking it was KTNS Fresno, CA that I heard just the day before. I don't speak any spanish and understand only the very basics, but I heard "La Raza" mentioned in the way a slogan would be mentioned then what was clearly an X Call letter being mentioend and the typical mexico station id thats so long, I joe the station ID's everything including the location of the kitchen sink. Heard again even better nearly 53 minutes later with a man talking.
Mon Jan 8th
XEW 900 Mexico City heard at 612pm AK Jan 8th 4000 miles away with man talking, sounded like a long form interview of some kind. Signal held out for 10 minutes!

Heard YHWH again over the weekend of the 23rd.. i forget if it was sat or sun without looking at my notes, but it was about as good as my Dec 20th reception. im pretty sure i had him another time between the 20 and 24th, but not as good as the 20th or the weekend of the 22nd, for what its worth
