CLANDESTINE   6995DSB, V.O. the People of Kurdistan, 0221, End of man in
echo w/forceful talk giving IDs, music bridge, ID by man followed by
announce- ment with mention of Web site, then Koran.  Amazingly very strong
S-9 signal in DSB, no carrier.  Best ever hrd.  (Valko 12 August)

PERU   3234.87, R. Luz y Sonido, 0938-0946, Long excited talk by man with
mentions of Peru, TC.  Into OA campo song 0945.  Song announcement, simple
"Luz y Sonido" ID, TC, and talk by man at 0948.  Mention of onda corta and
phone number too.  Heard under pulsing UTE here.  Tough.  Not heard in some
time.  (Valko 12 August)

PERU  4826.37,  R. Sicuani, 0953-1007, Unbelievable signal!!!  Talk by man
in Aymara.  Beautiful campo mx.  More talk.  Program possibly named "Nuevo
Amanecer".  Some laughing.  Possible mention of onda corta.  Amazingly fast
fade at 1000.  Within 9 minutes, it went from very strong easy copy to
barely audible!!!!  Not due to sunrise either (Dunlo sunrise at 1022,
transmitter at Cusco almost an hour later).  All northern, Asian, and
Oceania signals nothing at all.  Southern signals not as affected.  Just
incredible weird conditions!!!  (Valko 12 August)

UNID.  5404.30-.56, OA??, 0140-0209, Man announcer in between what sounded
like LA pops.  Just too weak and varying too much.  Plus some local buzzing
QRM.  Still going at 0209.  Who is this??  (Valko 13 August)

PERU  6956.6v, LV de Camposino, 0156-0206, Beautiful harp music with lively
man announcer giving ID amid announcement.  Fantastic S-9 clear signal.
Comunicado at 0157, into nice easy set of campo songs all done by the same
vocalist/group.  Haunting woman vocals!!  Played at least 4 songs in a row.
 Just a slight variance of the freq between .58 and .60.  (Valko 13 August)

PERU  5460.71, R. Bolivar (pres.), 0217-0241+, Hearing this throughout the
evening.  Long speech by man when first tuned in.  Nice OA harp music at
retune, then more speech by man.  Possible mention of Cusco and several
possible mentions of "telefono".  Occasional canned echo talk by man during
speech.  Finally what was obviously, and sounded like a canned ID by man
starting with high pitched flute, mention of onda corta following the
possible ID.  Studio man announcer briefly, then back to romantic music.
Possibly "El Condor Pasa" at 0241, but too weak to be certain.  Signed on
the next morning at 1017.  (Valko 13 August)

All for now.         73's         Dave
