Re: [HCDX] Brazil 9665 kHz

Karel,

I don`t think this is the case. The signal on 9665 carrying R. Nacional 
Amazonia is so huge, that it`s got to be one of the 250 kW Brasilia 
transmitters, which was already in use here at certain hours for relaying 
China.

There have been reports in DXLD from Brasil that both Marumby and Amazonia 
are heard at the same time on 9665; and that Amazonia is on 9665 because 
their 6180 frequency is down for maintenance. Tough luck for Marumby, but I 
don`t think they are doing any such relay.

Regards, Glenn Hauser

Hi,

it was mentioned here that Radio Nacional from Brasilia 980 kHz is relayed 
on 9665 kHz.

Today I paid more attention to this frequency than usual and I found out 
that the transmitter started at 0700 UT with a relay of Radio Nacional da 
Amazonia!

WRTH lists Radio Marumby from Florianopolis (Santa Catarina) on this 
frequency.

Although it is a bit strange that a station in southern Brazil relays Radio 
Nacional da Amazonia from the north, both areas are in the same time zone 
(UTC -2 h) and what`s more - I heard a phone call from Sao Paulo!

Reception conditions in the 31 mb here in the middle of Europe are quite 
good from south-east coast of Brazil at this time. So it really seems that 
this northern station from Amazonia is relayed in the almost
southernmost state of Brazil.

There were many transmitter breaks today, so when somebody was just tuning 
across the band, he could easily miss the station.

GOOD DX,
