http://www.macapa-ap.com.br/empresas/rdm.htm has a complete history
of the station.

Thanks for the link. I noted in another thread that central and south
America reception has been improved for myself lately and was wondering
if people in other locations noticed also noticed the same in the 31, 25
and 16 meter bands. I have not been listening to the 60 meter band.

I noticed this when scanning in Prescott, AZ the last few weekends. I still
look for the few remaining Ecuadorian and Colombian SW stations. I have
noticed a lot more Brazilian Portuguese stations as you mention. I do not
get abouve 60 meters, but the lower band ones are very noticable. I only
have about a year of experience with this location, so really do not know if
this is typical at this time of year or for the location (my yard ends at
the Prescott National Forest).

I make stupid typo's all the time on Usenet so I see it as no big deal.
You correct mistakes with another post and move on.

I make lots of mistakes on boards and ng's, and some are just due to speed
and some due to not being able to spell in English particularly well. As you
say, we move on.

Here is a sample of the best translation I could find on the web. Not
great but some of it is readable. Alta Vista - Portuguese to English
produced a more readable result than Spanish to english.

Maybe you have a better web solution for language translation?

HISTORICAL SYNTHESIS ON The DIFFUSING RADIO OF MACAP

With the nesting of Territorial the Executive in 25 of January of 1944,
the Government of the Amapá mounts a service of the press and
propaganda, destined to the spreading of its program of action and
development.

In 19 of March of 1945, it circulates the first edition of the
Periodical of the Amapá, a composed weekly and printed matter in the
workshops of the Official Press.

One month before, in 25 of February of 1945, is inaugurated the auto
Service of falantes of Macapá, destined to radiate chosen musics,
reporter and information of public interest. The presentation of the
Service, is made by Pablo Eleutrio Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, paraense
and Managing journalist of the Service of the press and Propaganda.

The Service of information, created to divulge the acts of the
Government of the Territory, becomes the embryo of the Diffusing Radio
of Macapá.

The sonorous equipment is installed by Mr. Heracildes Macdo, technician
of radio of the Panair of Brazil (company of aviation of the time). The
studio functions initially in the building of the old intendancy, today
used for the Historical Museum of the Amapá, radiating the sound
amplified for two possantes loudspeakers, type bugle, located in the
Square of the Matrix and the Square of the Baron of the Rio Branco
(wide of They are Jose).
