ID assistance for a Brazilian station
Folks, I had a great opening to Brazil the other night and got a
station on 4775, which I'm not too sure of. Horrendous static crashes and high speed data on channel were maddening! Anyway, this started around 0944 GMT on 4775. The announcer truly believed in the "Power of Echo" as that effect was on constantly (or maybe it was studio room acoustics). Played standard Brazilian pop. Several times I heard an ID, and several times in that ID I heard "liberal." Now, there was a Radio Liberal out of Belem on there, but the WRTH says it's inactive. Radio Congonhas and Radio Portal da Amazonia are also listed, but heard nothing like that in the ID. Radio Amarela is supposedly only a construction permit as of this date.... So.....Has anyone heard what's active on this freq? I'm hoping it's a re-activated Radio Liberal, but I'm gonna be pragmatic in any case!

Good luck! Thanks for the info, John! Unfortunately, I had a moment of brain freeze and didn't make audio clips, so I guess I'm S.O.L. until maybe I heard them again. I have all kinds of notes, but no recordings. Your info has definitely been stored for future reference! Thanks again!

I looked all over and could not find a reference to Radio Liberal being reactivated. Doesn't mean it's not so however. dxAce Michigan USA |

I did listen this morning around 0915 and there was a station there which may have been Brazilian, however the static crashes were so great it was hard to tell. After 0930 the station was totally gone which seemed pretty odd, but about that time sunrise is overtaking Brazil. I tuned back in to 4775 about 0955 and found a station there in Spanish but I didn't stick around due to the static (I want to protect my ears!). The 0955 time, and the absence of anything there after 0930 would lead me to believe that the station you heard was possibly Radio Tarma out of Peru which seems to sign on around 0950 or so: http://www.sover.net/~hackmohr/sw.htm I'll try to check it out again one of these mornings when I get up early and the static isn't so bad. dxAce Michigan USA Wow, I appreciate all the work you've done to try and help out. The station I did hear was most definitely in Portuguese (everything ended in "ao" versus "ion"). I had it again last night with a smaller opening, but the signal was so weak and the static so bad, that I just gave up. I intend to keep plugging. This is a matter of principle! LOL Thanks again for your help. Nice to know there are people out there willing to lend a hand (ear?) when one gets stuck!

One way or the other we'll figure out who is there and at what time. That's part of the fun! dxAce Michigan USA |

The bad news is that all 4 stations are 24 hr stations! Good luck with getting an id on the station! Good DX John Barnard |

I had another excellent opening last night, and it was R. Congonhas. It is the only signal I can hear there, so I am betting that it was one and the same station, especially since it came in at the same time and format.
