Radio Nacional da Amazonia??
« on: December 03, 2017, 0251 UTC »
Anyone here heard them lately? They used to be full-on signals on 11780 and 6180 -- I haven't heard a peep from them over the past few months (granted, I don't tune the SW bands every night).

I used to hear them invariably, and the only time I didn't hear them was in the worst of conditions.

The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

Yes, they've been back on 11780 in the afternoon, but ending transmission at 2200. No word on when they might resume round the clock broadcasts.

Thanks for the info. They used to be the most dependable signal south of the border on SW, aside from Cuba.
