Worth checking 1330 - At 05:58'19 there is an ID for Radio Autentica Cartagena and then a very clear Cadena Radial Autentica at 06:58'33. A nice new one for me.
A superb Colombian night here.

I have the same, but deeper into the noise than yours. I can't make it out, but the offset matches exactly where I have been getting WARV. Sounds like KFN news to me, but that makes no sense.

You didn't happen to get an ID from the other Colombian on 1520 from Barranquilla did you Paul ? I've been trying for some time - The carrier is often there on 1520.071, but there was some audio today, but I couldn't get an ID.

A couple of stations competing with CKDO this morning. A talker in Spanish on 1579.995 on and off fron 0430 until 0710 which I haven't found anything like an ID for and one on 1580.011 which came up at 0656 and had this announcement at 06:57 https://app.box.com/s/0o1ca0oi30xocjqjm0hb67y41w3zon0z and...

I only checked 1550 because of David's question - It's often splattersville down here. Obviously it must be on day power.

Thanks for the tip David.
I don't know if it is the same station, but I heard Stevie Wonder at 06:00 and this ID at 06:01'44

I'm sure it is "This is WAZX". Not sure if the second stronger OM is the same station or even what he is saying.

Great catches Paul - Both on the totally impossible scale for me as I have a 1359 transmitter less than a mile away.

Excellent John and such a good signal as well. Nothing here and 920 at the moment is a very poor frequency for me for some reason. Noise everywhere.

Probably. But even if it worked it would fall apart quicker than the ebay jobs.

Thanks - I think I'll go with Roger Federer. Been around longer than the other two.

It was a long shot - At 4 seconds it sounded to me something like KKFC, which it obviously isn't - Maybe an ad for KFC

Can anybody make out if this is an ID ?

Heard at 0604 this morning on 1590, just pushing out the dominant WARV.

Offset was around 1589.994

thanks

Can anybody recommend a supplier of reasonable quality made up coax (PL259 to BNC - about 20 metres ) ? In the past I could pay "over the odds" and pick some up down the road at Maplin, but places like that don't exist any more. The last few times I have bought from Amazon or ebay, but they don't se...

David, I don't know if you picked up from elsewhere, but WHAS was off for an hour or so last night on 840.

I could clearly see the signal drop off just before 0330z and reappear around 0435. Unfortunately, nothing else of interest came up here. Worth a look, though.

I'm really jealous Paul. Never had Uruguay, I'll keep trying, though !

The early part of the night there were quite a few Brazilians floating around, but getting a good ID is the difficult part for me. I think that you have the right idea matching the online streams.

Looking at the power, this may not be DX for some, but I have never had an ID before, although I may have heard it some time back with a football match.

Anyway some good IDs and jingles at 23:00 on 11/02 on 610.

So good, they posted it twice !

A personal first for me as well. I've been chasing it for a few weeks. A goodish signal coming up every few days, but never with an ID.

There is an ID today at 05:00'41 as well.

Certainly worse than my expectations for solar minimum, But, if it wasn't for the reports of others, I wouldn't truly be able to judge. Getting past the local noise is becoming more of a chore every year. First there is the band wide general noise and then I have to notch and/or switch usb/lsb to tr...

Well done John - and from the offset, it was that strong station I was puzzling over a couple of weeks ago.

Gerard,

Definitely Radio Rebelde to my ears.
