[HCDX] Radio Melodia

["charles bolland" <KA4PRF@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Peru, 5939.24, Radio Melodia,(pres) 1008-1038   Not much of a signal at
1008, but setting here on 5939.24 waiting
for the "window" to open for Peru.  Presently I can hear, just slightly, a
man talking, but not clearly. By 1015,
the audio begins to fade in with a man and woman in Spanish comments.
Sounds like and probably is, the news.
By 1017, the format is still news, but now the signal is starting to come in
clearly at a poor level.  The "Window"
has been opened so to speak. At this point, two men in Spanish comments.
This is a very difficult freq to copy.
There's splatter from the station on 5935 which is WWCR from Nashville,
Tennessee.  Then there's the normal
noise that is found on the 6 MHz band.  At 1030, Radio Melodia is at it's
best with a good level for a few minutes.
Best heard using USB.  With AM mode, too much splatter is allowed through.
Signal began to fade again by 1036 UTC.  Didn't hear an ID.  (Chuck Bolland,
