How Strong Is R. Nac'l de Amazonias 11780kHz In Alaska?

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Some of you have probably heard/seen me talk about Rádio Nacional de Amazonias (Brazil) on 11780khz in the past here or in other online DX gatherings, it's my favorite SW signal to date. It's 100kw from near Brasilia beamed to the northern amazon regions of the country


Well, I've talked about how strong it can be. The clip in the link below is from Wednesday afternoon AK time, Thursday morning UTC

S9+55 on peaks, S9+20 nominal. Zero noise, zero fading, almost as good as FM Mono!! I use an ATS25max radio , an emtech zm2 tuner, a DXE preamp and a 15 foot wellbrook loop

   This is one of two South American stations I've received legibly at my location this year.
I'm on the side of their beam, I envy you Paul such a great signal!
 The second station was Brasil Central on 4985 - they have a clear channel in my place.

Kris And Don,

I am at just the right place for a multi hop signal and in the right place for their signal which is beamed at like 353 deg i think.

i hear Brazil on 9665 and 11815 quite regularly too, but not quite as well as 11780

Weak tonite with loads of QRN but fade is tolerable.  The usual Portuguese dialogue.
