Re: [IRCA] Radio Globo 1220 Brazil

["Jim Renfrew" <jrenfrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

150 kW.  Clear channel in Brazil.  It crushes everything in Newfoundland 
when we're there. It may be located at a distance, but it is licensed to 
serve Rio de Janeiro.

St. Catherine's was ordered off the air by the court some time ago.  Never 
easily heard here anyway due to a tight pattern.  I've always wondered how 
it got out at all with nearby Cleveland a U-1.

Also, a major geomagnetic event caused an auroral surge that soaked up the 
signals in the north favoring the south.  One tell-tale is that local ground 
wave signals are stronger when regional signals are absorbed into the 
aurora.  I had our local TIS on 910 all alone, all groundwave.  WNED 970 in 
Buffalo was also alone.  And I had a weak image from WBEN 930 appear on 660. 
An image is usually too weak to propagate at night. but when all the 
competition is being hammered by aurora, its all alone.

Just curious about R Globo 1220 from Brazil. A website puts this one in a 
relatively small city about 250 miles west of Sao Paulo called Londrina. 
There are other Radio Globo stations in other cities and one is on 830 AM. I 
don't have a WRTH handy so I can't see what its power is but I would think 
that it isn't a high output station in a remote area of the country.If 
anyone has that info then I stand corrected if I'm incorrect. How can that 
signal drop into several receiver locations in the Eastern US from almost 
5000 miles away with so many North American Stations occupying this freq 
including 2 high powers in Cleveland and St.Catherines.? Bill in BC
