Rádio Casa is a shortwave pirate from Brazil. It uses low power (about 15 watts), making reception outside of Brazil rare. It broadcasts the same programming on 5900 kHz and 7455 kHz simultaneously. Frequencies are slightly variable (slightly above the intended frequency). It broadcasts daily in the morning as of July 2022. Programming is mostly American popular music with frequent canned identifications in Portuguese. Its sounds very similar to a typical American FM radio station. The total bandwidth of the signal is 12 kHz. It is difficult to tell if the station is a hobby operation or an unlicensed professional station. The station also broadcasts online and claims to have the call sign ZYW685 for 8000 kHz (one of its former frequencies). It also has its own website. It does not have an email address but some people have been able to obtain QSL's through other contact methods.
