"Hello !"

"I used to be a regular listener of the program Ecos Rumba on Ecos del
Torbes in the
past late summer/automn. They were quite easy to hear on 4980 short-wave
using just a
simple Realistic DX-351 with a simple indoor wire attached to it`s
telescopic antenna
and puted in the computer floppy disk wich acts as a radiator for this
weak signal
(the comouter was OFF of course to avoid noises). They were heard almost
nightly with
a fairly strong aignal, until about 3 or 4 months ago. "
"Did someone in Europe, the Pacific have heard Ecos del Torbes in the
past few months ?"

As editor of the Domestic Broadcasting Survey, I have noted that DX-ers
this winter have reported the easy recognisable Ecos del Torbes heard on
4980 at least once in each of the months October, November, December,
January, February, March and April.

But the transmitter has been instable for at least 12 months. Thus the
transmitter is still in use sporadically, but unless something else has
happened during the past month,  it is on the air some nights and off
most others.

Unfortunately this situation is typical not only for Ecos del Torbes,
but for several tropical broadcasting stations nowadays.

Best 73,
Anker
