Selected monitoring from NASWA Flasheet

 


All times UTC


3310  BOLIVIA.  R. Mosoj Chaski – Cochabamba, 1000.  Canned and live studio IDs with many mentions of Mosoj Chaski. Seemed to be in Quechua but with sprinklings of Spanish words. Then Bolivian songs with that distinctive Andean sound. An extended talk at 1009. Weak signal, Aug 13. (Wagner - AUS)

5035 USB  AUSTRALIA.  Unique R. Australia - Tamworth NSW. 1030.  After having reappeared in July and modulating on LSB, the month of August now sees this station using USB! What's the reason for the change? Still the same awful, tinny, lo-fi sound - not the way to attract dedicated music fans!! And still playing the usual prehistoric pops from the Jurassic period. Fair signal. At 1100, it moves to 3210 kHz for the remainder of the broadcast. Aug 13. (Wagner - AUS)
