** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Sept 6 at 0152 quick check confirms The
Mighty Farty KBC has made its seasonal switch via GERMANY from 9925,
and now a VG signal for the UT Sunday 00-02 broadcast; think I just
missed Kraig Krist`s Forgotten Song spot if he is still doing that;
too occupied with the 4940 matter, i.a. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU [and non]. 4940, UT Sunday Sept 6 at 0100, via TWR Bonaire
KiwiSDR, good signal in Spanish drama, first YL speaking, then dialog
and also narration, music. Het from carrier on 4941 cuts on and off
occasionally; evitable by downtuning to 4938 in AM Narrow mode. 0107
gives website www.lamontanacolombia.com and song; 0111 starts
religious talk about La Fe, etc.
[Chasing this I have to forego what I planned to hear during the 01-02
UT Sunday hour, `Encore` on WRMI 5850, having remembered to check 4940
first; but will have another chance 25 hours later on 9455; and WRMI
grid shows a new airing UT Thursdays at 0300 on 5800, which I guess is
a repeat but could be a prepeat.]
I keep hoping for an ID break on 4940 but none between shows starting
and ending at odd times, nor circa hourtops. Could this be a new
Colombian SW station as implied by the following From Rafael
Rodríguez, Colombia? English version:
``NEW SHORTWAVE RADIO PROJECT --- It is a new partnership project
between the organizations ethnicradio.org and Fuerza de Paz; to bring
the gospel in native languages to Colombia and Venezuela.
ethnicradio.org, has supported the installation of stations in Bolivia
and Perú both in SW and FM, as well as recording studios for
indigenous communities.
Fuerza de Paz and his campaign “Colombia para Cristo”, has also
developed its work through radio in MW, SW and FM.
Additionally, for the medium term, they are working on the
reactivation of Colombian signals at 5.910 KHz and 6.010 KHz``
Attached screenshot shows something on 4940.041 kHz, at 0242 UT Sept
5, without further explanation --- it so happens that I had an unID
unlogged carrier on 4940 circa 0500? Sept 5. Along with the VOA
Africans on 4930 & 4960. Onlything in Aoki is the old R. San Antonio,
Perú. It seems to be missing most of the time but occasionally
reported, with a Christian format.
Back to the present Sept 6: at 0117, clips of ``I had a dream`` and
``sieg heil`` to intro next show, `Lecciones de la Historia` about
Babylon citing bible verses.
At 0120 I check my own R75 reception on 4940: JBA carrier, but the
intermittent carrier on 4941 is stronger. At 0136, Bonaire in synch
mode tuned to 4940.00 says its carrier -1.6 Hz, and steady. At 0142
het cuts on again as Lecciones show is terminating; music break; 0146
bible verse about Jeová, another song. 0152 intros a 20-minute
program. I suspend for a while at 0200-0300 in order to hear `Weekend
Radio` on WCLV webcast. 0300 recheck, 4940 is still S9 at Bonaire with
a song. 0325 I check again here, and now it`s JBA talk at S9/+10 vs
HSNL. Recheck Bonaire at 0345, now it`s JBA there, so much weaker it
should be some other station after sign-off, but none are known.
Idea that this 4940 might be a new Colombian is enforced by the
``Colombian content`` of that web reference which I look up later, to
find:

``Colombian Film written and directed by Lisa & Alethia Stendal
On a mountain in Colombia, paramilitary forces have Marxist rebels
cornered against a high ridge without food. In search of a way out,
the guerrillas ask an old friend (a missionary they had held hostage
and released some 20 years ago) for the number of a humanitarian
priest in hopes of finding someone to bring food to the mountain. The
missionary mistakes the priests' name for the head paramilitary leader
and inadvertently gives the guerrilla commanders the wrong number.
Through a humorous confusion two sworn enemies end up face to face in
an emotional encounter that unveils the very core of Colombia's
conflict and the journey each one must take to finally find peace in a
lifetime of war.
Sinopsis:
Película Colombiana escrita y dirigida por Lisa & Alethia Stendal
En una Montaña en Colombia fuerzas paramilitares tienen a un grupo
Guerrillero a corralado en una alta cordillera, sin comida. En busca
de una salida, los guerrilleros le piden a un viejo amigo (un
misionero que 20 años atrás habían secuestrado y liberado) por el
teléfono de un cura reconocido en la zona por sus obras humanitarias,
con la esperanza de hallar a alguien que les lleve comida a la
montaña. El misionero confunde el nombre del padre con el de un
paramilitar y sin darse cuenta le da a los guerrilleros el número
equivocado. A través de una confusión llena de humor, dos enemigos
terminan cara a cara en un encuentro emocional que destapa el núcleo
del conflicto en Colombia y el recorrido que cada uno debe tomar para
finalmente encontrar la paz en medio de una vida llena de guerra.``
The film came out a few years ago. Possibly they were playing excerpt
from its soundtrack. Stendals are a familiar name, as the plot seems
like the life story of a missionary relative of theirs, Martin
Stendal, was the force behind the still dormant Voz de tu Conciencia
6010 and Alcaraván Radio 5910, but which are still slated for revival,
and in fact 6010 as Alcaraván was heard for one? night only as I
reported, last March 10 UT. No report of either frequency since.
Rafael Rodríguez had some contact with the stations as QSL manager.
However, Radio San Antonio, Ucayali, Perú has been reported recently
active on 4940, so tentatively that is what we are getting now, not
Colombia:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW9jooaoxlw
As received Aug 14, 2020 in Lima on 4940, ID right at the start.
As for the ethnicradio website RRR referenced, there is nothing about
the current matter, only one item from this year, in June, about R.
Chazuta, Peru:
https://www.ethnicradio.org/2020/06/radio-waves-in-chazuta-peru.html
which is nothing but an 18-second testimonial, also for Radio Logos.
Ethnic Radio is notoriously ambiguous about what they are axually
doing, while soliciting donations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800 & 5950, Sept 5 at 2352, both these WRMIs are running
SMTV: more confusion. #10 on 5800 is so scheduled, but #5 on 5950 is
shown as Overcomer on the frequency grid; but the 23-24 hour on the
TOM System C grid shows 5850! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Sept 6 at 0023, TONITO has just started on
WTWW-2 so I switch immediately to its $ tereo webcast: starts playing
`Downtown` since Bob Heil in Belleville IL is right across from DNTN
St Louis; and the rest is very familiar too as a rerun from last? week
featuring Les Larsen playing via his SD card on a Wurlitzer type built
by Alan/Allan/Allen/Alun/Alyn Organs. Last song is Que Sera, until
0054 right into Pink Floyd, The Wall (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
