``Rádio Nacional da Amazônia Launches Spanish and English Programs
---
On March 31, 2025, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia took an important step
in its programming by introducing an International Service aimed at
listeners from other countries who follow the station through its
shortwave broadcasts.
With a duration of 10 minutes, the program is divided as follows: five
minutes in English, followed by five minutes in Spanish. It is
broadcast Monday through Friday, from 10:50 PM to 11:00 PM Brasília
time — equivalent to 01:50 AM to 02:00 AM Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC) — on frequencies of 6,180 kHz (49-meter band) and 11,780 kHz
(25-meter band).
On days when sports are broadcast, the program will not air. The
production and presentation are led by journalist Ana Pimenta.
According to Sérgio Dória Partamian from the DX Clube do Brasil, “this
is a commendable initiative, as the station, which is primarily
domestic in nature, focuses mainly on serving the Brazilian audience,
especially the isolated communities in the Amazon.”
However, “by reserving a space, albeit a short one, for international
listeners, Rádio Nacional da Amazônia not only expands its reach but
also strengthens cultural ties with neighboring nations and even with
more distant countries that express interest and appreciation for
Brazilian culture,” Partamian states.
For the DX Clube do Brasil, this initiative reinforces the value of
shortwave radio as a means of communication capable of crossing
borders, delivering information and entertainment to regions where
access to the internet and other media is still limited.

** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, April 6 at 0632, for the record, HK3QQ is still
doing its crazy thing, often heard on bandscans but not bothering to
re-log, i.e. letters in keyboard order with several errors or
omissions, starting with QWETYUIOX... and ending with BOGOTA COLOMBIA
73. QRZ.com page ignores this, only: ``HK3QQ Colombia flag Colombia,

Is that ever heard on 7070? I have been hearing 10125 for *years*, but
have *never* seen a log by anyone else. Seems I ``own`` this, hi.
On Aug 20, 2023, I got this, and I now repeat it: ``Dear Glenn,
according to the official colombian registry of colombian hams, Rabca,
HK3QQ actually doesn't have a valid license. He had one but finished
in november 2021. Yesterday I heard that Mr. Ernesto Reyes reporting
to the Colombian Fraternity net on 7.145 khz USB at about 22.30 UTC.
Sorry to have to inform that situation. Please keep my identification
confident.``
I have also checked the UDXF iog and find zero logs of it or anything
on 10125. O well, it`s ham so off-topic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 15590, April 6 at 1445, CRI English
S9/+5, the SSOB even exceeding 15770 WRMI at S7/S8. BUT with Doppler
flutter, i.e. frequency jiggling with BFO. This is one of countless
500 kW, 308 degree beams for Europe from Urumqi, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 15575 KBSWR, direct
from Korea South is JBA despite targeting us, and also with Doppler
flutter. WWV reports:
``The estimated planetary K-index at 1500 UTC on 06 April was 3.33.
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms
reaching the G1 level occurred. Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level
occurred`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 800 kHz, April 6 at 0645, very heavy distortion QRM to KQCV
OKC and anything else, as previously traced to XEERG in Nuevo León.
Will this ever get fixed or demolished? Such incompetence! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to

** U S A. 7780 & 5010, April 6 at 0630, these WRMIs are OFF again, as
if deliberately contrary to own sked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5935, 5890, 4840, UT Sun April 6 at 0628, all WWCRs are
still OFF, like 3 hours before, presumably due to storms. By next
check 1448, 13845 on at S9+20, 7490 at S9+30, but 9980 JBA carrier,
else? Nothing else is ever on 9980 per EiBi, Aoki, HFCC. WWCR-4 9980
is supposed to run straight thru 12-24 on Sat & Sun, tho off at 16-22
M-F - and tho dated April 1, WWCR own sked shows wrong relation
between Central and UTC of 6 hours instead of 5! After all these
years, WWCR still can`t cope with DST accurately. Presumably program
times be correct in CDT as above if you ignore UTC column (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VENEZUELA. 4940, April 6 at 0631, JBA signal is the OSOB = only
station on band, that is, among broadcasters, besides WWV. Cuba 5025
also off. Wolfgang Büschel measured it at 0330 on 4939.982, from
Colombia? Some still attribute Estación 4940 to Colombia, but it is
well established by now as Venezuela. Despite EiBi putting it in
Colombia, target Venezuela; that`s better than Aoki which ignores it
completely, leading some to listlog 4940 as R. San Antonio, Perú,
which hasn`t really been heard for many years! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 810.59 kHz, April 6 at 0644 UT, JBA carrier aside 810
WHB. Still hearing this mystery tho not every night. I challenge
anyone to ID it or at least DF/triangulate source (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17432-17463 approx., April 6 at 1442, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating, peaking S7 around 17450. Have been hearing this
for long time; what is it? I recently gathered several other such logs
at different frequency ranges, posted to UDXF iog, asking if anyone
has any info about it? A single reply: ``Mike Chace-Ortiz Apr 3
#119371 The 48 kHz wide signals are one of the many sent by the
stations testing HF for High Frequency Trading. 73 —mco``
Well, this one was only 31 kHz wide. OK, they must be licensed by FCC
or equivalent. Any way to locate them? I also posted my other mystery,
open carriers ending in 6, surrounded by clickery: zero replies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
