*** Tuesd ay evening edition:
*** Mail from DXer Carlos Maldonado, Santiago(Chile)
*** Article about radio pirates in Peru
*** Recording of Radio Santa Mónica, Cusco(Perú)


I have received an very interesting article in spanish from the DXer Carlos Maldonado, Santiago(Chile) about radio pirates in Peru. Tanks Carlos for very nice mail and article. Now I know why it is much harder today finding new Peruvian radiostations on the tropical bands!

I do not know if Radio Santa Mónica is a Peruvian pirate but it sure sounds like one: bad sound quality etc. A "good" illustration to the article.
73s Bjorn

Carlos Maldonado: "Estimado Bjorn, saludos y felicitaciones por tu excelente página llena de sonidos tan conocidos para mí. Yo también soy DX-ista, aunque practico este hobby apasionante solamente los fines de semana cuando voy a una parcela que tengo en las afueras de Santiago, en la costa, a unos 100 kms. de distancia. Como vivo en un edificio aquí en la capital, la escucha de la onda corta es imposible. En lo que ayudarte desde acá, estoy a tu disposición. Saludos".

Dichas radioemisoras clandestinas causan interferencias y sus dueños evaden las obligaciones con el Estado, asegura el director de Infracciones y Sanciones de Telecomunicaciones, ingeniero Edgard Alvarado Barreto. Añadió que el objetivo del Plan Informalidad Cero es eliminar la operación de las estaciones ilegales de radiodifusión sonora detectadas en Lima. Estamos ejerciendo el principio de autoridad del MTC en relación a la operación de las estaciones radioeléctricas de radiodifusión sin autorización, subrayó el funcionario.

*** Recording of Radio Bethel

My unID Peruvian on 5949.78 kHz turned out to be Radio Bethel. The station is sometimes relaying "CPN Radio". It´s very difficult to get an ID, hours with nonstop religious music or preaching without ID not even on half/full hour. ID this tuesday morning at 1130 UTC: "Radio Bethel - La Voz de Dios".

Correction: Radio Melodía, Arequipa is transmitting on the new frequency 5939.27 kHz(my recording see 26/6) and is also reported by the Peruvian DXer Alfredo Cañote, Chaclacayo.

Amigos DXistas! I earlier reported that "La Cariñosa", Quito on 1280 kHz will move to 920 kHz, that´s what the DJ said once. On 920 has "Radio Colón", Quito been inactive for a long time but this Thursday mporning "Nueva Colón FM", Quito started on 780 kHz.

A little bit "complicated" - license for 780 had before "Radio Noticias", Quito a station that never has been on air as far as I know. I have talked to Radio Filadelfia, Guayaquil on phone and they said they were going to start transmissions on 780 kHz from Quito - something that never happend.

Amigos DXistas! The mew Bolivian station on 5500 kHz found by Rogildo Aragão(Bolivia) is transmitting from Tupiza. Read Rogildos comments and listen to his recording with QTH.
73s Bjorn

Rogildo Aragão: "Hola Malm, Hoy finalmente consegui identificar la localidad de transmision de R.Virgen de Remedios, esta en la ciudad de Tupiza en el departamento de Potosi, queda bien al sul, cerca de la frontera con Argentina, hay alla un gran Santuario a la Virgen de Remedios.

Tupiza is the capital of Potosi's Sud Chichas province. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the biggest mining companies operating in southern Bolivia (such as the Compañía Aramayo) built their headquarters in this beautiful town. Around 1906, Butch Cassidy's gang arrived to Tupiza. After weeks of careful planning, the gang robbed a minerals trading house and escaped in the direction of San Vicente.

Amigos DXistas! You are very welcome with your own recordings and a little "story" about yourself. Thanks José for very nice letter and recording of Huanta 2000. 10-15 years ago I listened in Sweden during 12 months just to Spanish mediumwave stations. I identified 44 local spanish stations during that period. 1-2 minutes local gates when all stations on the frequency were giving IDs at the same time.....
73s Bjorn

José Bueno: "Amigo Malm, agradezco tu contestación y comprendo perfectamente, que con el gran trabajo que realizas tienes que estar muy ocupado. Tengo 55 años de edad y vivo en Córdoba, España. Es una ciudad muy bonita, con mucha historia y vestigios de la dominación romana y musulmana.

Mi trabajo ha sido en la empresa de electricidad Endesa y llevo tres años prejubilado. La prejubilación se da en las empresas que reducen sus plantillas y les interesa estar pagándote pero sin trabajar. Una parte lo pone el estado. O sea, que estoy cobrando igual que si trabajara y tengo los mismos derechos que los que están trabajando pero en mi casa. Estoy casado y tengo dos hijos varones, con 23 y 26 años de edad.

Ahora le dedico mucho tiempo a la radio. Soy miembro de la Asociación Española de adioescucha (AER) y redacto las secciones de Onda Media y +Noticias del boletín EL DIAL, que edita la asociación. Además me gusta hacer deporte, sobre todo ciclismo. También le dedico algún tiempo. No te canso más. Te adjunto la parte de la identificación de "Huantas 2000". Cuando tengas tiempo me cuentas algo sobre ti. Recibe un fuerte abrazo de tu amigo Pepe Bueno".

The station is on 2 frequencys, 6239.83 and 6120 kHz(distorted), and there is also a jammer-station that changes beetween these 2 frequencys. Has been on air almost daily. At the end of the recording you can hear the jammer starting.

A swedish DXer has asked if the station hs any adress or email. Anyone know?

*** Comments from Rafael Rodriguez(Colombia)

Amigos DXistas! Rafael says in his mail that my recording of 1210.03 Radio Reloj(see below 7/6) probably is the Neiva station listed on 1210(Radio Recuerdos) relaying programs fromBogotá.

Rafael Rodriguez: "Hola Colega Malm. Unas cortas lineas acerca de tus ultimas grabaciones. Sobre Radio Reloj la señal que escuchaste es generada en Bogota para todas las estaciones Radio Reloj durante toda la noche, a veces se puede escuchar algo local hacia las 1000 - 1100, y aunque no tengo a mano una actualizacion que hice de las estaciones Radio Reloj por su 50 aniversario, creo efectivamente se trata de Neiva. Marco Antonio Solis es tambien conocido como el "buki" debido a que hace años tenia un grupo llamado "Los Bukis". Una pregunta: en que horario escucho LV de la Resistencia??".

Bjorn: Gracias Rafael. No recuerdo el horario de la emisora de "FARC"(no capté el nombre "LV de la Resistencia") pero probablemente bastante temprano 0000 UTC por allí. A noche estuvo en la misma frecuencia 6239.83 kHz. Tambien estuvo com señal fuerte pero de mala calidad en apróximadamente 6120 kHz - seguramente una señal falsa.

Estoy esperando la oportunidad de hacer una grabación de HJEW R. Reloj, Cali en 1110 kHz - parece que tenga ID local siempre en la noche.

Si, cuando estuve en Guatemala 1993 mis maestros Alvaro y Mercedes me acompñaron más que una vez a Guatemala City para comprar TODOS los CDs con Marco Antonio Solís y Los Bukis!

*** Comments and recording from Rogildo Aragão of the new Bolivian R.Virgen del Remedios
*** Comments from Henrik Klemetz regarding "W FM"
*** Recording of "Caracol W FM", Medellin


I have now identified my unID "R.O.Q 89.1" on 630.00 kHz(see 2/6). I was "dreaming" a little bit that it was my first Mexican logged here in Quito but turned out to be the Ecuadorian station "HCHA2 Ondas Quevedeñas", a station I have not noted before. 10 years ago R.O.Q. was active on shortwave, on the 90 meter band.

Quevedo is located some 190 kilometers from Guayaquil and 240 km from Quito. It has around 110,000 inhabitants and most of them belong to the large Ecuadorian Chinese colony that live here.

Rogildo Aragão, from Brazil but lives together with his Bolivian wife in Quillacollo cerca Cochabamba(Bolivia), found some days ago the new Bolivian station "Virgen del Remedios" on 5500.00 kHz, still with unknown QTH. I have tried to hear the station but nothing here in Quito. Thanks Rogildo for your recording of "Virgen".

Rogildo Aragão: "Hola Malm, Sin estos dias la propagacion esta variada, en 49m es tambien interesante, las emisoras bolivianas que estan cerca solo tengo bien despues de las 07:30hlocal, en 6105(R.Panamericana) entra bien R.Filadelfia y 6135(R.Santa Cruz) la R.Aparecida-Brasil, en 6120 R.Singapura Int. y algunas vezes R.Tailandia cubre R.Marti en 6030. Estoy mandando la grabacion(315kb) de R.Virgen del Remedios en 5500kHz en .wav, talvez pueda pasar a .wma y hacer la compression. Te mando en otro e-mail una grabacion de R.Integracion para que tenga idea de la pesima calidad de audio, en el sony2001D en wide. En esta mando una grabacion en mp3(211kb) de R.Integracion.

WNMA 1210 is owned by the MultiCultural Broadcasting Corp and they hook up with Bogotá for a couple of hours in the early morning. What they are doing the rest of the day I do not know. The male voice on your clip is that of top-rated Colombian anchorman Julio Sánchez Cristo. Interestingly, there are similarly named operations in Mexico and in Chile (also on the web). While the Colombian and Mexican operations announce as ”dobleú”, the Chilean says ”doblevé”.

Bjorn: You are right. Thanks for comments. Some days ago I heard the station with "Caracol W FM" IDs with the frequencys for 3 colombian "Caracol W FM" stations: 99.9 Bogota, 90.9 Medellin and 98.0 Cali. Listen to my recording:

*** Mail from Stephen Waldee
*** Comments from Horacio Nigro
*** Comments from Arnaldo Slaen
*** Audioclip with Radio Nacional, Asuncion(Paraguay

I have received a nice email from Stephen Waldee(USA), retired broadcast station engineer, asking for my opinion about SODRE(Uruguay). This is a very late answer but the truth is: I have never during 40 years logged SODRE. Instead you can read information Horacio Nigro has sent me and a comment from Arnaldo Slaen.

They both says SODRE is active on 9620.8 kHz relaying SODRE 650 kHz 24h with classical music. But first the mail from Stephen.

Stephen Waldee: "Bjorn, Thanks for your excellent webpage. I have enjoyed reading your many reports over the years. I live about 50 miles south of San Francisco, on the California coast in San Jose, and late Sunday night, after 0600 UT, I believe I picked up CXA6 SODRE, Montevideo, at 9620.93 as closely as I could tell. The signal was faint but quite steady for a while, and I heard what sounded like a piece of music with guitar and orchestra; then about 0626 or a bit later, a very faint voice and then perhaps some piano. I see that the very latest A04 ILG database has this station frequency included. Do you know for certain if they fixed their shortwave transmitter at 9620 for CXA6 and are back on the air? I'd be interested in your opinion".

http://home.earthlink.net/~srw-swling/

Horacio Nigro(Uruguay): "Hola Bjorn, Estoy en un cybercafe, ya que se me rompió el monitor. No tengo el esquema horario exacto del SODRE a mano, pero te puedo decir que estan activas 9620.-- retrasmitiendo CX 6 con musica clasica 24 horas, y 6125 CX 26, retrasmite CX38/CX26, no la he escuchado en horas de la noche tarde, como 0200 UT, por ejemplo. Las CX26/CX38 (1050, 1290 KHz) trasmiten hasta las 0300 UT en OM, pero hace tiempo no la escucho con su s/off en la OC, asi que aparentemente no se queda en frecuencia tan tarde, o por propagacion (skip) yo no la escucho aca. 9620 se escucha de dia local, y luego del cierre de REE, Madrid, creo 0500 o 0600 UT no recuredo bien ahora, pues de noche España domina. Desde ya adelanto que tienen poca potencia, no llegan al kW. 73s".

Arnaldo Slaen(Argentina): "En la otra orilla del Rio de la Plata tampoco esta llegando SODRE en su QRG habitual de 9620,8 Voy a chequear el fin de semana. 73's".

Bjorn: Thanks Stephen, Horacio and Arnaldo for your mails. As I said, I have never logged SODRE. It is also very difficult for me here in Quito to hear Paraguay on 9736 kHz, is there sometimes but with very weak signal and heavy interference. A few days ago I at last had Radio Nacional on 9736.87 kHz with very good signal. Listen to my recording.

Rogildo Aragão: "Ola Malm, Esta mañana pude escuchar tu UnID del Brasil en la frecuencia de 6945.11, bastante distorcionada el audio. No es R.Caiari como pense y si RADIO RIO MAR, Manaus, estado de Amazonas-Brasil, pude comprobar escuchando la misma en las frecuencias de 6160 y 9695kHz con relay del programa de noticias Primeira Hora de R.Bandeirantes-S.Paulo, ID las 1030UTC, advs locales. 73, QRV".

Bjorn: Thank you very much for your information Rogildo. I did a new recording of 6945.11 kHz this friday morning with a clear QTH: Manaus, Amazonas without understanding the name of the station but after reading the information from Rogildo it became easier.

Quito 27/5 2004:

This is exciting! This thursday morning I heard a Brasilian station on 6945.11 kHz with strong signal. I´m not sure but a guess is that it is a station from the Sao Paulo area (it is not Radio Senado 5990). Up to 1100 UTC news and weather, I heard the name "Sao Paulo" many times. 1100 UTC started a religious program.

I have 2 recordings, ads with adress on the first audioclip, on the 2nd perhaps an ID(?). 73s Bjorn

Quito 26/5 2004:

Amigos DXistas! Two stations on the 49 meter band off the air: Radio Unión, Lima(Perú) has been off for some month/months but the last week I have noted a quite strong carrier without audio on 6114.89 kHz where Unión was the last time I logged them. Radio Victoria, Lima(Perú) on 6020.xx kHz has also been off air for a while. Anyone has information about these 2 stations?

This time I have recordings of 2 Mexico City stations:

Radio Educación has a very nice program called "Sintonia Libre" with DXing, internet, listening to airplanes etc. You can find transmitting hours for "Sintonía Libre" and other DX-programs in spanish on this web site:
http://arieldx.tripod.com/programas.htm

RAdio Transcontinental for the first time with good signal strenght here in Quito and without that "noise" I´m always hearing on the upper frequency side. The station has a web-site, still under construction: http://www.misionradio.com/

Adalberto Marques de Azevedo(Brazil) has a comment in portugues about my recording of Radio Transcontinental, Mexico City - a station Adalberto never has heard and he asks me what type of antenna I´m using. Well, I just have 2 longwire antennas 18 and 36 meters but I´m spending many hours with my radio!.

Adalberto: "Amigo Malm, Estive no teu site e ouvi a gravação da XERTA R. Transcontinental do México. A gravação está excelente, provando que você realizou uma ótima escuta. Gostaria que você me informasse qual o tipo de antena utilizapara estas captações em Ondas Tropicais.Saiba que esta foi a primeira vez, em todos os meus anos de escuta, que consegui ouvir uma emissora mexicana. Infelizmente não foi através do Rádio. Espero um dia ouvir alguma emissora deste país. Muito grato pela informação e um abraço",

A little adventure on 3375 kHz this sunday morning 23th of May:
(all 3 stations on the same audioclip 140kb)

1024 UTC: 3375.12 R. San Antonio, Callalli (Peru)
Radio San Antonio is normally weak with heavy interference from 2 brasilian stations but this sunday morning alone and quite strong. When waiting for a nice ID to put on my homepage started the first Brasilian their transmissions..........

1025 UTC: 3375.15 Radio Municipal, São Gabriel da Cachoeira (Brazil)
..........with a fine ID. You can hear Radio San Antonio in the background. Radio Municipal has been off air some month/months but was reactivated around one week ago. Here I was with a fine "Radio Municipal"-ID waiting for some good brasilian music when..........

1030 UTC: 3375.06 R. Educadora, Guajará Mirim (Brazil)
..........Radio Educadora started their transmissions at 1030 UTC. Impossible! San Antonio and Municipal are very stable on their splits(.12 and .15) but Educadora I have heard on different splits beetween 3375.00 - 3375.08 kHz.

On this audioclip 20 seconds San Antonoio, 20 seconds Municipal/San Antonio and 20 seconds with Educadora/Municipal/San Antonio.

3375 Educadora/Municipal/San Antonio 140kb 1024 - 1031 UTC 23/5 2004.

I have received comments regarding my unID station on 4750 kHz(see 22/5) from Christer Brunstrom(Sweden) and Jari Savolainen(Finland) both with the same opinion: RRI Makassar(Indonesia). Thanks for your contribution Christer and Jan.

Jari Savolainen: "Hi. The 4750 recording sounds like Indonesian station. I recall RRI Makassar has recently been logged on 4750 instead of it's former 4753V frequency. I don't know if this fits with Indonesia-Ecuador propagation path at that hour".

Christer Brunstrom: "Hi! I did not hear any IDs but 4750 kHz is probably RRI Makasar and your unID on 5030 kHz is probably Radio Burkina".



Quito 22/5 2004:

This is not LA-DX but it is interesting, so why not? I asked the members of 3 mailinglists: HCDX, Cumbre and Conexión Digital about an unID station on 5030.00 kHz with frenchspeaking DJ, music and close down 0000 UTC, a station I never have logged here in Quito. I have comments from Manuel Méndez(Spain), Jose Hernandez Madrid(Spain) and Max van Arnhem(The Netherlands) all saying it is probably RTV Burkina, Ouagadougou (Burkina Fasso). Thank you very much for your comments Manuel, José and Max.

Jose Hernandez Madrid: "Amigo Bjorn, posiblemente y por los datos que nos has dado tu escuchaste la emisora africana RADIO BURKINA, esta emisora emite en frances y en ese horario los fines de semana tiene un formato de FM o radio formula.Saludos desde el Sureste de España".

Max van Arnhem: "hello Bjorn, I think you heard RTV Burkina, Ouagadougou, Burkina Fasso. Daily, last week, here on 5030 and s/off at 0000. 73".

Manuel Méndez: "Hola Bjorn, la emisora que escuchaste en 5030 KHz, casi con toda seguridad es Radiodiffusion National du Burkina en Burkina Faso que transmite por esa frecuencia en francés y vernáculo desde las 0530 hasta las 0800 y desde las 1700 hasta las 2400. Aquí en España se suele escuchar bastante bién a primeras horas de la noche y al amanecer.Un saludo desde España".

That´s not all! This saturday morning I heard another "strange" station on 4750.00 kHz, I have not heard the station before. Anyone knows?

Of course you can also listen to a station from América Latina: Radio Peru on 5637.323 kHz. It is almost impossible to get an "Radio Peru"-ID but if you hear the jingel/name of program-ID "Estudio 97" you can be sure it is Radio Peru.

unID 1: My unID station on 4170.44 kHz(see 19/5) is Radio Ilucán, Cutervo(Perú). I heard the station this morning in // with 5677.98 kHz. I also noted a weak carrier on 1390.14 kHz so the station has moved from 1420.xx to 1390.14 kHz. Horacio Nigro has listened to my recording and confirm that it is Radio Ilucán. Harmonic from 1390 kHz.

Horacio Nigro: "Bjorn, despues de escuchar tu clip en tu sitio web (excelente) varias veces, si puedo decirte que dice "6 con 26,alta frecuencia, Ilucán, la radio en su hogar..." and playing a theme from "Los Cinco de Cúcuta. No sabia que a R. Ilucán se la tenia por armonico en la OC. Pense que era una no oficial pero efectivamente trasmitiendo en OC. 73s".

Bjorn Malm: Thanks Horacio for your comments. Radio Ilicán has been on 4260.xx kHz quite a long time and logged by DXers from other continents. Strong and stable signal here in Quito, the new harmonic on 4170.44 is much weaker.

unID 2: Ny unID station on 6009.98(see 14/5) is Radio Parinacota, Putre (Chile). On exactly the same split 6009.98 kHz I heard Radio Mil(México) and Radio Parinacota(Chile).

I listened last night around 02-03 UTC to WMR World Music Radio on 5815.00 kHz. This is not LA-station but is transmitting from near my homeland Sweden: Denmark. Electrical noise, thunder, , a fine mix of music, but just S-9 on my NRD 535. 73s Bjorn

My unID peruvian on 4170.44 kHz has been there the last 3 days with weak signal. I´m not 100% sure of the ID but sounds like "....Ilucan la radio en su hogar". Nothing on Radio Llucans frequencys 5678 and 4260.xx kHz(harmonic from 1420.xx kHz). I need help with this ID but if it is OBX2U R. Ilucán, Cutervo it means that they have changed from 1420 to 1390 kHz(if the station is an harmonic, that I do not know).

I have received some very nice mails from the Brasilian DXer Adalberto Marques de Azevedo so I want to dedicate 2 recordings of Brasilian radio stations to him and all others from DX Clube do Brasil. 73s Bjorn

Yesterday sunday night Radio Presidente here in Quito had transmitter problems and I got the oportunity to hear this new Panamanian station. The recording is made in narrow bandwith, heavy interference from Radio Unica, Cali(Colombia) on 1160.00(no audioclip) and others.

You can also listen to Radio Presidente, Quito(Ecuador) - a station with good ecuadorian popular music, always in phone-in programs.

Very, very weak signal friday morning on 5950.28 kHz but it is a religious station with modern rel. music and rel. talk. This friday evening at 0100 UTC stll very weak, this time on 5950.19 kHz. Radio Bethel, Arequipa 5940.xx kHz has been off air for a while so perhaps them?

Last night I listened to "La Cariñosa", Quito and they had interesting news: soon they will be transmitting on 920 kHz. So what has happened with Radio Colón, Quito on 920 kHz?

Arnaldo Slaen: "Gracias Bjorn!!! Al fin reaparece esta emisora y la escucha otro colega!Con Marcelo Cornachioni, con quien la descubrimos en un DX Camp en Chascomus en febrero, siempre nos sorprendio que nunca esta estacion fuese reportada por otro colega.

Very weak sugnal and of course I do not have any identification but very good conditions against Boliva in the mornings the last 2 days and the frequency fits.

I have a new recording from this sunday morning, of my unID station on 1050 kHz, where the ID gives both name and QTH: "Radio Campesina de Cajamarca".

1050.00 Radio Campesina, Cajamarca(Peru) 191kb 0710 UTC 05/2004.

Henrik Klemetz always comes with fine information and this is a mail in spanish where Henrik says, among other things, that the name of the station is Radio Campesina, telephonenumber is 827973 and adress "Avenida Los Héroes 630".

Henrik Klemetz: "lTal como sugiere Björn, la emisora se llamaría Radio Campesina. A la supuesta razón legal le han puesto un lema identificativo ingenioso de esos que tanto gustan en algunos países de América Latina. Su teléfono (al parecer en Cajamarca) es el 827973 y la ubicación, Avenida Los Héroes 630. Al inicio de esta linda grabación se oye unos compases del ya tradicional tributo que "El Jilguero del Huascarán" rindiera a la madre peruana. Gracias Björn por descubrir la emisora y por dejarnos escucharla".

Bjorn Malm: "Thanks Henrik for your information about this unknown peruvian station. Enjoy my new recording of Radio Campesina!".

I had a question about Ecos del Torbes, if they still are using the frequency 5990 kHz, is in an english ID on my recording here below. The info is in spanish but Henrik says it is an old ID, the station is not using 5990 kHz.

Henrik Klemetz: "La identificación de Ecos del Torbes es de vieja data. Desde luego ya se abandonó la frecuencia hace lustros. En 1998, desde mi "balcón sabanero" en Bogotá, escuchaba esta misma identificación en inglés de Ecos del Torbes como también la frecuencia de 3225 kHz en la identificación de Radio Occidente, de Tovar, y Radio Ideal, del literal, suele mencionar su frecuencia de 5060 kHz junto con la de la onda media de los 1130. Rastreando las huellas de esas emisoras en anteriores ediciones del WRTH, encuentro que esas frecuencias de onda corta son de la década de los 70. [¡Vaya, cómo me he vuelto viejo..!]".

The unID station I had on 5954.98 kHz(see 4/5) is Radio Cultural, Guatemala City(Guatemala)(No audioclip).

Anyone knows if YVOD Ecos del Torbes, San Cristóbal(Venezuela) is using the frequency 5990 kHz? I have a recording from 780.00 kHz with english(!) ID but just prefix and frequencys, 60mb, 780 and 5990 kHz. Listen to this recording.

Bjorn: The station is Radio Altura and has a fantastic program in the mornings beetween 1000 - 1100 UTC with peruvian music, every morning from a special part of Peru. The recording is from this thursday morning with music from the "Puno"-area, It is difficult to get an ID, I listened one hour without any ID.

This station is still on air when I´m writing down this information. Up to 0000 UTC news. From 0000 UTC modern pop/disco music and ads from Tenas with "98.9 Ideal"-IDs. Strong signal but low sound-quality. One year ago I heard La oz del Upano, Tenas(Ecuador) on.5966.59 kHz. A station with own programs and not in // with LV del Upano in Macas.

Last night between 0120 - 0200 UTC I listened to a religious station with good signal on 5954.98 kHz. The program was called "Impacto" with talk and religious music.
