PERU 6019.49 R. Victoria 0717-0900 Usual rel. pgmming w/M and W hosts. W preaching was on the verge of tears!! Instru. mx at 0724 and M anncr w/TC and ment of Frontera. Then different M w/ment of Christiana and internacional. 0725 TC again, and canned pgm promo by M over mx ending w/addr in Bolivia. Rel. pgm continued after 0730 w/same M and W anncrs. 0753 exact same promo as hrd earlier at 0725. Rel. pgm continued. 0814-0816 deadair, then choral mx, and pgm continued. Big bdcster signed on on 6020 at 0859 wiping out the signal. Fair strength but some slop QRM. //weaker 9720. Interesting that Brian Alexander and I heard this independently of each other at the same time. (Valko 2 Sept.)
MALAYSIA 7295 Traxx FM 1055 "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel", and into another Dance song. Nice EG ID jingle at 1100, one short and one long time tick, then W w/nx. Not as strong as yesterday and it seemed disturbed as
well. (Valko 2 Sept.)
ZANZIBAR 11735 R. Tanzania Zanzibar 2051- AR mx at t/in, 2054 M anncr in SW w/brief anmnt, mx bridge, nice clear ID then tlk by different M in AR and also SW. Studio M anncr returned at 2058 w/anmnt including another ID. 2059 short instru. NA, and off at 2100. Good signal. (Valko 2 Sept.)
BOLIVIA 4690.2 R. San Miguel (pres.) 1003-1025 Apparent nx pgm w/actualities, some quite long but all at a lower lvl than the anncrs mic lvl. Seemed like a remote bdcst after 1018. M anncr sounded like the one I hrd in the past. Faded pretty quickly after 1025. Audio has the 'feel' of a spur, and thought this might be a Rebelde spur at first. (Valko 3 Sept.)
UNID. 4925.97 W anncr at 1025 t/in, then mx bridge, and tlk by M anncr. Wasn't strong enough to recognize lang., only able to distinguish between M and W and mx. Just too weak and too much QRM from the CODAR and 4925 ZY. Maybe a spur?? Not hrd during checks on several subsequent dates. (Valko 3 Sept.)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3905 R. New Ireland 1035- long tlk by M in PD w/ments of next Saturday, program, Nat. Broadcasting Corp.,"Radio ?? FM", province, Highlands, Monday, etc. M joined in at times.

ANTARCTICA 15476 R. Nacional Arcangel San Gabriel (tent.) 2056-2103* Could only hear individual anmnts by W then M, and ending w/song. No chance to copy. Just too weak. Seemed to stay on for a couple minutes before the plug was pulled around 2303:30. Tnx Bob Wilkner tip. (Valko 3 Sept.)
HONDURAS 3339.96 R. Misiones Int. 1008- Lively SP Rel. mx. 1015 W anncr in slight echo, and back to mx. 1032 canned M anncr very briefly w/ID finally, then back to mx w/lively LA mx. Always a strong signal but extremely weak modulation. Makes it tough to ID. Still on the air while Hurricane Felix was making landfall. (Valko 4 Sept.)
BRAZIL 4905.05 R. Anhanguera (Araguaina) 0918-0930, End of soft ZY song and very brief PT anmnt by M, then another song. Easy religious-like song to 0929 full canned ID by M, then back to more mx. Good signal but very noisy. (Valko 8 Sept.)
BOLIVIA 4699.41 R. San Miguel 0930 Apparent pgm intro by M w/bird chirping SFX and instru. flute mx pgm. Pgm feature w/M and W hosts tlking and occas. mx. 2 pre-recorded segments by men reporters twice. Definite ment of onda corta at 0949. Used the same instru. mx throughout the pgm. 1001 pgm outro w/same instru. flute mx. Long canned ad block 1001-1008, one w/poss. ment of R. San Miguel at 1003, the another w/definite ment of R. San Miguel at 1004. 1007 pres. rel. pgm promo by M w/ment of R. San Miguel and "...de Dios" along w/easy mx. Had a pgm in an Indian lang. w/M host and instru. and vcl CP mx after 1015. Fading by 1020. Noisy. Hrd on this freq earlier in the week too. (Valko 8 Sept.)

Into nice OA campo mx w/W vcl at 1038 and continuing w/nonstop OA mx. Fading quickly in morning twilight unfortunately and barely getting any audio by 1050. Carrier still
there at 1100. Tough to ID here. (Valko 8 Sept.)
