NEW Country SW Log!

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Hearing new countries on SW is tough, as these days, many of the various broadcasters/stations/programs all come from one of the 2 dozen or so sites across the world.

Well, Saturday night about 730pm AKDT (0330UTC Sun) I bagged Peru. Talk in what was spanish or something soundalike along with religious music was fading up on 4810khz but getting hammered by codar. The music and talk was 1kw Radio Logos on 4810 from Peru!

Difficult to nail down the language on Radio Logos.  According to their website  they broadcast in 12 different local dialects throughout the day.

Wow, that is some impressive DX! I don’t see reports of reception of radio logos very often. Peru is a very hard country to hear on shortwave. Here in Canada I have yet to hear any Peruvians. The only low power Latin American stations I can get here are Rádio Clube do Pará (5 KW, Brazil, can be heard with very weak audio every night) and “La Montana Colombia” (? KW, Believed to be from Colombia). I can only get “La Montana Colombia” when noise is very low and even then it is extremely weak. It doesn’t help that along with the low power most Latin Americans sign off before it is dark enough for DX on 60 meters this time of year.
