[HCDX]: Emisora Fuentes, Colombia

[Don Moore <mooredxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following was sent to me by Ken MacHarg. Emisora
Fuentes on 920v is one of the better heard Colombian MW
stations here in North America. In fact, I just logged them
on Friday evening while at the MARE DXpedition in Brighton,
Michigan.
