5964.98 Radio Transmundial 0815. Inspirational program with male host in Portuguese, ending with song at 0824. Heard 0829-0831 with many IDs and ID/promos, then back to music. Came back at 0857 and hrd ID/promo and long list of network stations. Rooster drowing at 0900 SFX and time check - // webstream which was :44 seconds behind. Improved slightly by 0835. About equal in strength to 6010.06 Inconfidencia. (Dave Valko, PA/Cumbre DX) Brazil's 6160.058 Radio Boa Vontade. Noticed a big het on 6160 at 0955, and was surprised to hear audio on 6160.058 when I tuned in and notched out CKZN. A block of canned anouncements definitely in Portuguese - some quite animated. At 0958 definite mention of “…Manaus, Amazonas, Brasil…” (a list of the network station locations QTHs??) followed by probably the full ID at 0959 but all I could copy was a mention of one of the freqs. Went into a long soft slow song at 1000 which sounded // the webstream. Had it IDed at around the 1003 peak, I could have copied it. The next song didn’t seem // to the webstream though. Unfortunately I didn’t find the right webstream until after 1000. Freq 11895.00 certainly sounded like Portuguese at around 1016. There was a signal on 9550.02 also, but couldn’t get any audio on it. Incidentally, the Boa Vontade website besides giving 9550 and 11895 for Porto Alegre gives the 49mb freq as 6610. (Valko/Cumbre DX)
