Remember that conversation in another thread about Brazilian stations? Well, get a load of tonight! I just wish I'd gotten definite logs of the last two stations here. I'll be trying again tomorrow night, and if conditions are right, holy cow.
9820, Radio 9 de Julho, 0010-0105. Conversation between a male presenter and a number of callers, one string of adverts or PSAs, and some very lovely fado-type music. Clear Radio Nove de Julho ID at 0042. Into what sounded like a church service after 0100. Signal fair, SINPO 33333.
6010, Radio Inconfidencia, 0027-0055. Conversation from a male presenter and lighter popular music. One clear Inconfidencia ID at 0040, in between songs. Signal fair with minor interference from a nearby station. SINPO 33333.
4915, Radio Daqui, 0102-0115. tuned in to a clear, quite lively station ID, then into some really excellent maracatu music. Caught a second and third definite station ID in between songs, including one that said Radio Daqui AM, but programming was mostly music. Per EiBi, this station goes off at 0100, but I definitely tuned in at 0102 and heard them. Signal fair to good with minor CODAR interference. SINPO 43344.
11915, Radio Gaucha, 0052-0120. Conversation between a male presenter and at least one if not two guests, with several definite mentions of Brasileira, one possible mention of parliament, and what sounded like reference to the Copa Libertadores, though I could be wrong. Time pips under talk at the hour and at 0115. Two distinct strings of adverts, and at least two references to Porto Alegre. Signal fair to good, SINPO 43344.
4905, Radio Anhanguera Araguaina (tentative), 0105-0115. Talk mainly in a male voice, interspersed with soft regional music. Signal weak under loud CODAR interference, SINPO 22222.
4775, Radio Congonhas (presumed), 0050-0115. Talk mainly in a male voice, as well as several ballads or softer songs. I initially thought this was TWR as one song sounded religious, but the language spoken was definitely Brazilian Portuguese. Signal weaker to fair, SINPO 32233.
Plus Radio Bandeirantes on two outlets (a booming 9645 and a weaker but still reputable 11925), Radio Nacional da Amazonia sounding like a local on both 6080 and 11780, Voz Missionaria on 9665, Radio Deus E Amor on 11765, Radio Aparecida strong on 11855, *and* Observatorio Nacional Brasileira clear under WWV on 10000. Ho-lee cow.
Oddly enough, there was no sign of Radio Brasil Central Goiania, or of stations like Boa Vontade or Caiari Porto Velho. Can't have it all, eh?
I really hope conditions are this amazing again tomorrow. Needless to say, I'll be doing some QSLing from tonight's catches!
