Just found out from Glenn Hauser that the A11 sked (which I had not
yet seen) shows this as Iran using 500 kW to broadcast to South

Alert! *On 27 March 2011 from 0324 UTC tune-in to 0347 off the air
abruptly, I just listened to a Spanish-speaking station playing what
sounded like South American Music on 9905 kHz. *Pretty fair signal,
not 100% copy but enough to get the major gist of it. No ID heard.
Audio Recording made. *Eibi shows no such station for this frequency.
Aoki currently shows a single station:


9905 * R. Dif. America *0000-2400 1234567 Spanish/Guarani *0.2 *ND
Asuncion-Villeta *PRG 05733W2531S Ameri * * * * * * * * * *25 *31
57 * 33


The Latin American Shortwave Logs archive (linked above by Steve)
shows THIS station:


9905 * * PRG * *R Colégio Técnico, Villeta * * Jun04 C * 5 WATTS
(skdMar04 1000-2000) (r)AM1610/FM1079 ex-R America


...apparently from 2004. *The listings suggest that the station Aoki
shows as current is an ex-station as of 2004.


Does anyone at all have any more information on this station? *This is
rather exciting for me...believing that I might never hear a
Paraguayan station at all, and having this show up. *Even more amazing
is that it might be 200 watts non-directional (5 watts sounds
ridiculous...)


Thanks in advance ~

The Paraguayan station is in a 'former/inactive' list . The low power
(5 Watts) must have been an experimental/local station from a
Technical School in Villeta . *** P.S. If not mistaking-- Dr. Mengele
used to live there , once upon a time . . .
