Australia
9500, 1035-1105 Noted a religous station here during period. Not sure of the language being broadcast? At about 1051, a seaonal song heard. At 1056 other music heard. This time it's Hindu type music making me think I am listening to CVC out of Australia. However my current list from Eibi says CVC comes up at 1100 not 1000. Female talks in Hindi after and during the music. Station is taking over the frequency as it's signal improves. Heard "CVC" in comments on the hour by female. Heard "Bollywood" mentioned during music. So this must be that via Australia. (C. Bolland, January 4, 2008)

Clandestine
from site to Cuba 5955 Radio Republica (tentative) I tuned in at 2310 and heard nothing but Spanish and English pop and rock music until 0000. Best tune I heard was one from Rush at 2327. I could not hear any jamming on this frequency tonight. I just heard an open carrier after 0000, I can't tell you if they perhaps signed off sometime after this point as the station was fading. Just a weak carrier when I tuned out at 0019. (H.Johnson, FL FL Jan 10-11)

6285, Voice of Korea, 1127-1135,In here with music until 1130 when a female interrupts with ID and comments. Language being used sounds like English, but the signal is so distorted, it is impossible to recognize for sure. At 1134 a male comments. Signal was good in strenght but had a terrible distortion as mentioned earlier. (C. Bolland, FL January 6, 2008)
Peru
9720, Radio Victoria, 1020-1030 I tried 6020 for Victoria and although I could hear
them there, it was almost impossible. Here on 9720, their signal is loud and clear at this time with a female in Spanish comments to a male. This possibly a testimonial of the female. At 1029 canned promos and ID's. Signal collapses into the splatter by 1031 resulting in a fair signal becoming a poor to threshold signal. (C. Bolland, FL January 4, 2008)

Not much music heard beyond 1108 however just steady comments from the female. I think she was joined by a male around 1112, but can't be sure.
