Аргентина
6060 ARGENTINA and unID SEP 3 2330 - Tango + man in SP with sports talk (heard
a mention of "campionado"). Parallel 15345 not audible, because the Sangean radio
is less sensitive above 8 or 9 MHz than on the tropical and lower international
bands. Was mixing with woman talk (couldn't ID the language of the second signal
because of poor signal and QRM). Second signal not // 6030, so maybe Italy. Poor
signals from both w/ splatter from Family Radio 6065. By 2344, it become impossible
to hear at all, because Family

* Friday edition:
* Recording of 5745.75 unID "EWTN Radio
Cat?lica Mundial"

 This station has been reported as "Radio Virgen
de Remedios, Tupiza" (Bolivia). To me it?s a
little bit difficult to beleive this really is
Bolivia. Good but distorted signal and nothing
else from Bolivia on the SW bands. I understand
that "Radio Virgen de Remedios" is relaying
programs from "Radio Cat?lica Mundial" but as you
can hear on this recording the ID is "EWTN Radio
Cat?lica Mundial". Does anyone has the correct
information about this station? The recording is
made this friday evening 0000 UTC.

but the announcer sounded like he never used a microphone before.  All his
comments were slurred and in the echo effect.  It sounded like he was just

announcer on the air, this would have been a perfect logging..
