11815kHz, Radio Brasil Central, 0037-0115 January 25
« on: January 25, 2014, 2059 UTC »
Last night's conditions were rather odd.  I had Chinese stations everywhere, but Brazilians were making quite a good showing as well.  11765 was louder than it generally is, 11780 and // 6080 are a given, and this one...  I've never managed 11815 before!  :D  anyone know if they QSL?  Still no luck with Bandirantes, darnit.  China tends to step on them.  No sign of Aparecida last night either.  Odd. 

Here's the log as I wrote it up. 

11815, Radio Brasil Central, 0037-0115.  Brazilian popular music, some dancey, some closer to ballads, interspersed with announcements or other talk from a male presenter, often over music.  Definitely heard what sounded like 'nacional', but could have been 'central'.  Signal weaker but audible, with splatter from China on 11820.  SINPO 32232. 

Brazil was in the clear after 0100, when china signed off 11820.  signal remained weak but audible.  One happy Chanter ahoy!
