[HCDX] Peru and Mexico still surprising in Italy

[Rocco Cotroneo <roccoc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Something really strange keeps on happening here at our location in 
Liguria, where regular albeit a bit unfrequent dx-peditions are held, 
now with a K9ay antenna mounted in the garden. We do wonder what 
other hard-core dx-ers specialised in MW are logging at present, 
especially in Northern Europe.

1390, 00,20-00,50 April 6, Emisora Espacial, Otuzco, La Libertad, 
Peru. Peticiones, religious talk, announcements with echo ID and 
claim for Roberto Robles, the station advertisement agent. After 
paintstakingly searching for contacts with this station on the Net, 
we eventually spoke with Sr. Pedro Silvestre Rodriguez, Emisora 
Espacial's gerente. Actually this log was made on the seaside at 
Deiva, with a random 70 meters wire, not with the K9ay on the hills 
in Levanto - West of La Spezia - countryside. First for Europe?

1470, 03,20 April 6, Formula Radio, Mexico, Mexico. After a short 
break (no signal on April 5) an unexpected comeback for Mexico. This 
time it's from Formula "tercera cadena nacional" as per announcement.

A brief note on solar conditions. Peru and Mexico were observed again 
in much quieter magnetic conditions which this time favoured a very 
nice Us opening North from Florida, with many stations from Maine, 
Massachusetts, Washington and Alabama (WEUV 1700), very strong till 
after 04.30 here. Earlier in the night, Puerto Rico e Us Virgin 
Island came through nicely. Absolutely no trace from Venezuela and 
Colombia.
