not even exist anymore. But I listened for 90 minutes, and with the exception of a rolling-voiced announcer making comments about the "fantastic" station, there was no ID during that time - which is exactly Unfortunately, in this day and age it's not unusual for U.S. stations to ignore the rules that require an ID. (then again, as David says it's possible they IDd in Spanish & too quickly for you to hear) what I typically hear on Latin, South American and Carribean stations. Nothing else in the frequency listing has an output power anywhere near 50,000W, and I doubted that I would be getting reception that strong and clear from a 10 or 25kw station in Brazil or Venezuela (though I know what unusually good prop can do on occasion). You might be surprised how well a few hundred watts can do at night on a relatively clear channel. Or a channel that's been temporarily cleared of Northern signals by auroral conditions! The expanded-band (1610-1700) stations use 1kw at night but cover much of the country. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
