4774.91   PERU. R. Tarma - Tarma, Junín. Nice pop song with Andean overtones at 1029, ID at 1021 with canned anncts and adverts. Fair signal on Sept 22.

4955   PERU. R. Cultural Amauta - Huanta. Noted a weak signal at 1037 with conversation. Not heard much in the past month and monitored in LSB to avoid some local heterodyne rubbish, Sept 22.

Not great signals from any of them, but nice to catch them as we come close to the end of the DX season here.

6180   BRAZIL. R. Nacional Brasília - Brasília. Mainly talk but occasional songs at 2104 to past 2115. Fair reception this morning. This signal is via the Antarctic path and is typical of propagation on this band as we approach the southern hemisphere vernal equinox (on Sept 22). At this time of day, there is just enough daylight and darkness across the South Pole to allow for signals to propagate between Australia and Brazil.
