Re: [HCDX] UNID 1300 kHz - Spanish language religion program

["Rocco Cotroneo" <rocco.cotroneo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Henrik,
OK, we will never know the answer. Just let me report here the opinion of
Rudolf Grimm, a well-known Brazilian dxer who lives in Sao Bernardo, a few
km from the 1300 antenna. "I have never heard this voice from R. Universo
and it sounds to me as Northeastern accent", he wrote me, adding that he too
has never heard a full Radio Universo id.
What you say, Henrik, about the IPDA programmes is partly true. Yes, local
stations all over Brazil who transmit religious stuff often do refer at
temples and local addresses for meetings. Therefore they offer good hints
for identification. This *never* happens with national (or even
international) programmation, or when the leader of the Church himself is
sermoning. This is the case of rev. David Miranda in IPDA or bispo Edir
Macedo in Igreja Universal.
There is also a big difference between a station that carry religious px at
times and a outlet directly owned by the church. The latter looks like is
doing everything to ensure the listener doesn't know the name of the station
he is listening to, they just want to be the channel of the church, not a
real radio station.
