Bolivia's Radio Fides log
6155.25, Radio Fides, 1030-1045. From tune in, noted steady news presented by various males in Spanish Language. At 1032, a series of ads or promos presented. One thing I like about Bolivian Radio Stations, especially those on shortwave, is the fact that they all are a few hertz off frequency.As far as I can tell, that's the case with each station. I suppose this maybe an intentional condition that they possibly feel allows their station to be heard by their listeners or possibly their transmitter is not precise enough to tune down to the nearest Hertz easily? Regardless, it makes tuning in Bolivian stations a lot easier especially if one has a good notch filter on his receiver. Getting back to Radio Fides, the talk continued during the period while the signal faded from a fair to poor. (Chuck Bolland, FL December 2, 2008)
