[HCDX] Radio Costena heard

["chris h" <drakefreak@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

HI
Tonight  I was  scanning the 60 meter band and came across an interesting 
station.
4930	430	2/18/01	Radio Costena	Honduras	444 R390\21 ft vertical	Hearing a 
lot of Spanish language music.  ID at 0455 followed by signoff.
According to the dataabase I use this ,is supposed to be  a 1000 watt 
station,which isn't near as rare as those 250 watt Peruvians ,but here will 
work for me.
Also at 0524 ,I am hearing what appears to be Radio Anhanguera on 4915 khz 
with a nice signal of 20 on the carrier meter of the R390 using the 21 ft 
vertical.
My good reception may be  due to replacing what appeared to me a dimly lit 
tube in the RF stage of the R390. A 6C4 didn't look near as well lit up as 
the other one,  so I found a different ,and walla  this is the result.
I will be moving soon, so I will be be looking into stealth antennas  next . 
Hopefully I will find one that works. No more 140 ft longwire or  vertical  
in the trees so far as I  know  ....
Thanks
Chris
