[Dave Valko <dvalko@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

INDIA  4840, AIR Mumbai, *0014-0021, AIR IS, stepped out for a minute and
returned to hear usual sign on Indian vocal tune, man with ID and
announcement, into local haunting Hindi music, and then weak live talk by
man.  Fairly decent signal for this.  Clear too.  Also heard 4800, 3315,
3345, and of course 5010.  (Valko 5 August)

BOLIVIA  3494.57, R. Padilla (pres.), 0032-0106, Nonstop LA Pops and
ballads.  Still going at 0106, but much weaker.  Could've IDed it at tune
in but not one announcement heard.  Slowly drifted up to 3494.68, and
wobbly.  (Valko 6 August)

PERU  5637.21, R. Peru, 0100-0156, Lively OA campo music.  Announcements by
familiar sounding man with many many mentions of Peru, and Ancash, Pasco,
internacional, Santa Rosa, and Cusco.  TCs.  Mention of kilohertz at 0124.
What sounded very much like an ID at 0133.  Presumed canned program feature
at 0144 with many mentions of San Ignacio, possibly called " ?? Informa
Peru".  Gave a phone number too.  Went off sometime around 0200 in
mid-song.  Fair.  On later than usual or reactivated??  (Valko 6 August)

UGANDA  5026, 4976, R.U., Noticed their carriers have been staying on at
least to 0000 the last couple nights.  Couldn't detect any audio.  (Valko 7
August)

NAMIBIA  3270, NBC, 0000, 4+1 time ticks, ID by man as "This is ??
International ?? Namibia Broadcasting Corporation...".  Then into R.
Australia news by man!!!  Fair strength but very high thunderstorm QRN
levels.  (Valko 7 August)

That's it for this week.  Its been unbelieveably noisy this Summer due to
thunderstorms.  We're getting them at least every other day, and this isn't
the tropics!!!

73's          Dave
