This afternoon, I received word, and posted it within minutes, that SODRE from Uruguay, has re-activated on 6125 kHz. For our late blog readers, I've reposted the following info, plus a follow up logging from a few minutes ago. This should interest those DXers seeking to catch this rare and elusive country. Good luck, and let's hope this isn't a temporary situation.

Following the kind alert of Horacio Nigro, I'm hearing (2105 utc) a weaknewsbulletin in spanish on 9620.38 kHz, followed by an interview withmentions of Argentina and Uruguay seemingly in // with the station webstream www.sodre.gub.uy/.

Yes...This seems to be their frequency, according to other monitors in Europe who have measured the signal today. Right now, at 2350 -I'm back home - there's a het on 9620, Radio Esterior de España. From their signal strength and the fq offset from nominal 9620 as monitored locally, this seems to be the same transmitter they had been using till their QRT about 8 months ago. Just a mere 350 watts. The only visible change for this resuming also in the 31mb is that they are not simulcasting CX6 (MW 650) here with classical mx as before -a nonsense in SW with such low power-). This also means that sked is not 24h as before, as they close MW 1290 at 0300. s/on should be 1000. Horacio
