Re: [IRCA] RCR 750 Caracas Venezuela

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

I used to regularly log 2 or 3 Jamaican stations during the early 80's here 
with local-like reception early mornings, used to love listening to them 
during the middle of the winter when it was cold, warmed me right up.

Many Northeastern DXers in the 60's waited for September northern South
Americans every night. We would get several good nights a season, at least.
At the same time, those from about TN south had little DX to report, and
found regional stations stronger than normal.

Among the loggings I remember well were the Venezuelan on 1100 (carúpano or
Barceloneta, if I recall) over WKYC (now WTAM) within 40 miles of 'KYC.
Charallave on 1110 over WBT, and the Valle de Pascua station on 1370 over
the mess on that channel. unusual because it is so far inland. Jamaicans
were also sometimes noted covering WLW and WSB, and the 760 Colombian, then
a wanderer, was frequently heard. I also had La Voz del Litoral, 1190 over
WOWO. good enough copy of the newscaster's comments for him to write me
personally!

I can not recall the year,  sometime in the early 60's, but one of these
events happened the Sunday of Venezuelan elections, and the conditions
continued ripe until sunrise in YV land the next day. I believe I logged and
reported over 20 YV's that session, including elusive places like Cd.
Bolivar, Coro, Barquisimeto, etc., as well as many seldom heard like Radio
Tiempo 1200 in Caracas and the 880 Caracas station. A number of other
northern DXers logged lots of YVs, while those in the south heard nothing at
all.

Hi Bob -

   750 here, an unusually strong WSB ATL, Michael Savage holding forth on
subject of 'bowel gas'. Yes. True. RCR must be skipping blithely over
Manasoviet Key tonight. Conditions noticeably changed from few weeks ago,
winter's coming.

                                                =Z.=

PS - Your PVD account recalls another controversy. Having fled PRO and The
Mighty Twelve-Ninety, conflict flared anew: BRU vs. "BCN is better'.  The
debate rages still.
As you say, content carried the day.
