1110- 6201.16- COLOMBIA- Antioqian parish bdcster, 1110-1128* Hrd once
more with undoubtedly a Mass. Had a different Padre this morning, but
the same male vclist. One of the songs sounded a lot like the Johnny

familiar to me. There were also periods of deadair further leading me to
believe its a Mass. It seemed to end at 1128 as nothing was hrd after

Eritrea/Voice of Truth, 1526-1612 on Feb 6, seemingly one package of
programs from three "separate" organizations which literally run into
each other (based on Kusalik's QSL's, I wonder how "separate" they
really are?). Democratic Eritrea concluded with vocals which was
followed by three time pips at 1532 (!) before "Sawt Eritrea al-Hurrah"
identification for Free Eritrea.  Mainly talks but some music. 
Presumably Voice of Truth around 1602 but signal deteriorating too much
