[HCDX] Argentina on 15345 is stroooong !



Strong signal since at least 4:55 PM until now (beetwen 5:05 and 5:40 PM I was watching a movie, so I re-opened my radio just a few minutes ago) with futbol play-by-play time pips at 22:00 UTC, shortly after ads, mention of "Radio Nacíonal" (in PWBR it is indicated a Radio Nacíonal relay of 870 kHz AM Buenos Aires during the week-ends on the RAE transmitter).
 
It's strong, NOT VERY strong, but comes in well here in Montreal using just a Sangean 606 with a random wire of maybe 30 meters installed in our yard.
 
Hope someone here will get to listen to them - I taped them a little bit around 5:00 PM EST (2200 UTC) and I will send a real-audio clip later to Glenn Hauser for his DX Listening Digest. If anyone wants a real-audio clip of RAE relaying Radio Nacíonal on 15345 kHz, please let me know.
 
I tryed to hear 6060 earlier, but couldn't maybe too much day-light.
 
Sadly my Sangean 606 can't receive LSB or USB either because many relays of Argentinean AM/FM stations such as La Red 910 (just reported by a LR DX'er Arnaldo L. Staen) could make it to Montreal if propagation condx were right - after all this morning I got Radio Australia very strongly on both 9580 and 11650 kHz (11650 had the clearest signal) and I often get New Zealand on 17675 wich are much farther away than Argentina from Montreal.
Argentina is relatively close, so with a little chance I could even bag LR1 Radio El Mundo on 1070 kHz as this channel is relatively clear with only CBA CBC Radio One as the only domestic at night on it (LRA1 870 might be even easier with WWL in Louisiana as the only serious QRM, but my Sanyo receiver is not very sensitive in the 800-1000 kHz area - the only Latins that comes in well when condx are above-average are Progreso-890 and XEW-900 and I often have difficulties receiving WHAS-840 - above 1000 kHz and below circa 800 kHz it is an excellent AM DX receiver with just it's ferrite bar).
 
With the hopes that LR1 Radio El Mundo 1070 kHZ will be my first Argentinian on MW, I do suggest everyone to tune in to Argentina-15345 on SW, for instance.
 
That's it for now!.
73 and good DX,
Bogdan Chiochiu
