internacional", SINPO 23222, (Eramo, Argentina)

0010- 4940- INDIA- AIR, Guwahati  0010  Test tone till 0013, when bits
and pieces of "Song of India" IS audible; hopeless from then on. Puny
signal in barrage of QRN.  (Hill, USA Oct. 5)

0010- 13670- CANADA- R. Canada International 27/Sep 0010-0050 UTC
Spanish program "Contestación a la correspondencia" with several musical
selections from canadian singers. SIO=554 (Escoto, Honduras)

0023- 5040- INDIA- AIR, Jeypore  *0023  Ending test tone and into AIR
IS; very brief announcement and choral singing (undoubtedly "Vande
Mataram") at 0025. Nothing more readable after that. Very poor; usually
doesn't make it at all, but conditions today were significantly better
than normal.  (Hill, USA Oct. 8)

0040- 3172.7- PERU- RADIO MUNICIPAL. 0040 - 0130 Oct 11 The station
here, first noted by Moore and later by Krueger, Klemetz and Mohrman is
the new Radio Municipal from Distrito de Panao, nominal freq. 3173 kHz
and 95.5 MHz. This station is the brainchild of Panao Mayor, Sr.Oriol
Atino Perez. The adress is Jr. Bolognesi No. 175, Distrito de Panao,
provincia de Pachitea, Departamento de Huanuco, Peru. ID:¨Desde la
municipalidad provincial de Pachitea, el distrito de Panao, Departamento
de Huanuco surge un proyecto de radiodifusion en la banda de 90 metros

SINPO=45444 (Escoto, Honduras)

0104- 3663.7- KASHMIR- Azad Kashmir R. (fqy var) 0104  Unaccompanied
singing that sounded very much like Gregorian chant, featuring solo man 
alternating with unison male chorus. Into talk in subcontinental
language (Urdu?) by man from 0109. Drifted slowly down to 3663.5 by
0112, then began to sink beneath the waves and was gone by 0118. Very
weak, though I was able to confirm // with stronger 4790.4. Only a tiny,
slowly drifting het on subsequent evenings. This may be the first time
I've ever heard the "real" (Kashmir-based) AKR from the East Coast. 
(Hill, USA Oct. 8)

0214- 9165- AZERBAIJAN- V. of Azerbaijan  *0214  Tuned at 0203 to find a
whopping open carrier that soon weakened and became choppy. IS of about
12 notes on a harmonium followed by man in presumed Azeri (although the
audio was so low and the QRN so bad I couldn't be sure). Into music,
then man again at 0218. Also a faint presence around 1700-1800; should
improve as the season progresses if they do something about the feeble 
modulation. I've seen this one listed as V. of Azerbaijan, R .
Azerbaijan, R. Baku/Baki, and R. Dada Gorgud, take your pick!  (Hill,
USA Oct. 10)

0236- 4930.6- HONDURAS- R. Internacionale   Back to back latin vocals
