[HCDX] Latin American opening

[Nigel Pimblett <ntp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent reception to Latin America yesterday evening, with many signals
noted far above normal levels.  A few I noted:

2390	MEXICO, R.Huayacocotla		0014	19 Nov		SIO 444
	Incredible signal, with full ID by a woman, including address and "LV de
	las Campesinos" slogan, and then into a program of what could well be
described as fiddle music, as it wouldn't have sounded out of place in
	the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee.  Signal faded slightly, but still 	good
by 0105 s/off.

3250	HONDURAS, R.Luz y Vida		0009	19 Nov		SIO 433
	Latin music of various styles, lengthy periods of a man speaking in SS,
	apparently with a religious theme,  over a musical background.  Very
	loud, but with slightly distorted audio. 

3310	BOLIVIA, R.Mosoj Chaski		0002	19 Nov		SIO 333
	Religious program featuring children both speaking and singing in vern
(likely Quechua).  
  
3365	BRAZIL, R.Cultura Araraquara	2340	18 Nov		SIO 343	
	EE tune from the 60's, then string of ads with jingles, and into
	Portuguese easy listening type music.  No full ID heard, but a couple of
	mentions of "Cultura" noted.   Several other 90 meter Brazilians were
	also in at this time.

5770	NICARAGUA, R.Miskut			2327	18 Nov		SIO 343
	I'd never heard more than traces of this one before, but today it was
	loud and clear with VOA program, mainly musical.  The VOA program ended
	with the announcer giving SW frequencies at 2355, and then the local
	announcer gave a full ID during the closing announcements.  After the
	anthem, and then about a minute of a chirping sound, they left the air
	@0001.
 	
Also heard presumed signals from Radio Movima, Bolivia on 4471.7 and
Peruvians Radio Nueva Sensacion on 4389 and R.Frequencia VH on 4485, but I
didn't wait for any IDs on those.
