NOTE: Looking thru the Oct95 NASWA Journal, Ken MacHarg had logged TIFC
 Costa Rica here @ 1826 in Spanish on Aug12 in // to 9644.6 kHz, this would
 explain my Oct06 log of this in Spanish but I don't see the connection to
 the logging with the "101" Jingles and Loop Tape Xmission. Could it
 be possible they (TIFC) are relaying some-one else? Radio Nacional operates 
 on 101.5 FM..... signed, Confused.

Machines: "Classic" Collins R-391/URR & Drake R-4B with a full Xtal deck
Wires: 4-30 MHz Multiband Sloper, 20M Vertical, 150' Longwire, 2' MW Box Loop
Stuff I Built That Worked: Antenna Tuner, Preselector, HamComm Interface
Accessories: Radio Shack DSP-40, Pro60 Headphones, Tape Control Center, Clock
             Sony CFS-1030 Amp & Speakers, TC-WR535 Dual Cassette Deck
Bit Box: 386SX 33000.0 kHz, GeoClock v7.0, HamComm v3.0, MaxFind v3.3 & Edit
QTH: (37.12N 93.17W) Springfield, "The Show-Me State" Missouri, USA
Suggested Frequencies for WWCR to replace 3315 with: 
 5975 - Might put an end to the "What's the het on BBC Antigua?" threads
 3875 - The Hams aren't using it for anything important
 6955 - Then the pirates would be sure the FCC is harassing them
 2375 - Wouldn't interfere too much with Guatemala\Mexico and should give
        excellent domestic coverage and still fool the FCC into beleiving
        they're NOT broadcasting to the US
