log on the HFU in case anyone there would know anything about it or
stay up late enough to check. Big Badfish Al wrote: “Vostochnaya
Zvezda most likely since they are no longer on 4015 USB and had the
same playlist.”`` Lucas at 2135: ``I am listening on the KFS SE KiwiSDR now, good S3.
Much better frequency than 4015! Listeners outside of the US Southwest
might have a chance at hearing it now, we will see when night comes.
On 4015 it could not be heard at any SDR sites during the day.`` Walt Salmaniw, BC, replied: ``Hopefully a much better choice as 4015
barely made it to Masset. I’d like to see a daytime frequency as
well!73, Walt`` Lucas replied at 2148 March 27: ``Token in California on the HFU
reported hearing YHWH on 11560 AM three times during his first week of
being active in 2023 but I have been checking that frequency daily and
heard only legal stations. I will ask Token sometime if he has heard
him there since. A daytime frequency would be great for VZ. I am
guessing he is much like the Northeast pirates; they use NVIS antennas
and don’t really care if they make it outside their region since that
is outside their target area.`` Ron Howard at 2309 UT March 27: ``Thanks very much to Amano for his
input regarding my 7325-USB (Vostochnaya Zvezda [Eastern Star])

as heard on 4015, and also the clips that Lucas provided earlier. I
can't make out what the child says at all. Shazam also isn't able to
ID any of the music played in the last 10 minutes or so.`` At 0437 March 28, from Lucas Bandura, BC: ``Very, very weak here at
0330 UT. As Walt said the same child voice in a non-English language
is heard and the music format is the same. No identifications over
about an hour of listening. The audio is still restricted to 2.5 kHz
but the bad splatter can be seen on the KFS SE KiwiSDR when the signal
gets up to S9+10. The splatter covers about 7320-7330 kHz. A bit
distorted so I think he needs to turn the audio input down.`` Gary Pence to the WOR iog at 0351: ``EX station 4015 khz is on right

also heard same signal profile on S. Nev. Radio Ranch. Got to be the
same guy that was on 4015 khz`` Salmaniw at 0448: ``Not a great frequency, especially due to the
splatter from very powerful 7335 which is Radio Martí? Best to head
lower by 10 or 50 kHz, or higher somewhere. Walt`` Bandura at 0455: ``Yes, 7335 is Radio Martí. I agree that he could
find a better frequency, but at least it’s a huge improvement over
4015 USB.`` Bandura at 0632: ``He is now being heard fairly strong across North
America, but the Radio Martí slop is really bad.`` And Bandura at 0700: ``I have created a new page on the HFU Wiki for
this station:

Further research about this Radio Integridad: RAFAEL RODRIGUEZ, Colombia, March 23, translation: ``4820 kHz UNID,
after 0100 UT the signal that my colleague Auguste [sic] Galaz
reported since March 17 as Radio Integridad is reaching me. At the
moment with Andean praise music and something that seems to be a
vernacular locution and with sounds of "Windows" in the middle of the
songs. It is clear that it is not rebroadcasting the Radio Integridad
signal at this time, confirmed with its online audio. The MTC of Perú
{as of year 2005! gh} registers a station authorized to operate on
this frequency (OAW-6C) from Arequipa, but it also registers others
that are not active, so it is hasty to say that it is the same.`` On March 27: ``[WOR] Possible Identity of new 4820 Khz from Perú ---
Hi, Marcos C. from Vicuña, Chile here. I have not written here in many
years but here is something interesting for you: I read some days ago about a new Peruvian on 4820 Khz thanks to fellow
DXer Claudio Galaz and I found some info about this new station. I
heard the station just now and they were not relaying RRI (Red Radio
Integridad) but Radio Integridad from Trujillo, La Libertad. Here is some short clip where they identified themselves as "Radio
Integridad 105.7 FM, La Voz que glorifica a dios" at 00:52 UTC

Nueva Estacion de Onda Corta en Perú por los 4820 Khz
Ha aparecido una nueva estación de Onda Corta en Perú. Esta nueva estación de Radio de Onda Corta transmite por los 4820 Khz
que hasta ahora por las noches se ha escuchado que retransmite a Radio
Integridad de Trujillo, La Libertad, Perú con programación cristiana
con programas como "Aviva nuestros corazones" de Nancy de Moss y
también programas de Radio Transmundial En el siguiente clip puedes escuchar la identificación a las 00:52 UTC
del 27 de Marzo de 2023 Según el MTC (Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones) de Perú en
ambos listados de frecuencias autorizadas y registro nacional de
frecuencias, aparece autorizada una estación de radio por los 4820 Khz
pero en Cotahuasi, Arequipa. La persona que registró esta frecuencia también registró una adicional
por los 99.9 FM, en esa frecuencia transmite una estación religiosa
llamada Radio Senda Cristiana que transmite hace varios años por esa
frecuencia FM. Podría ser que esta estación de Radio es Radio Senda Cristiana que
transmite desde Cotahuasi, Arequipa? Hasta ahora lo único seguro es
que retransmite a Radio Integridad desde Trujillo, La Libertad.

be related to the Red, not on their station list:

They do have a different FM station in La Libertad, Pacasmayo on 90.9
Glenn`` Marcos: ``apparently not, because they don't mention Red Radio
Integridad neither in their website nor their facebook page`` Bryan Clark, March 28 at 0517: ``Here in the north of New Zealand,
I've been hearing a weak signal on 4820 since 0450 UT today. Now, at
0515 I am hearing it quite well on my WinRadio SDR. Checking KiwiSDRs in South America before 0500, I heard an
identification for Radio Integridad and the Peruvian anthem just
before the hour. After the hour it appears to be carrying a syndicated
Christian news programme. I found a matching webstream for Radio
Integridad Trujillo as well. The SDR Alpha Corral LU1HCW is providing
a good clean signal. If the station runs overnight it will be a
reasonably easy catch for DXers in the South Pacific. Regards, Bryan,
Mangawhai NZ`` Lucas Bandura: ``Still no mention of 4820 kHz on their website. Has
anyone tried emailing them, r_integridad@yahoo.com to ask about the
new frequency?`` Bruce Churchill, California: ``UNID Peruvian heard quite well on 28
Mar on 4820 from SDR in W. Iceland from 0633 to 0703 with relay of
Radio Integridad in Trujillo (as indicated by Bryan this program was
parallel to web stream for Radio Integridad 105.7 FM). S3 to S4 on
SINPO scale. Missionary stations in LA typically use their own
transmitters such as R Chaski and R Logos – so the real question is,
is this station departing from the pattern and leasing (or using)
someone else’s transmitter? In any case, well heard both in Iceland
and NZ so likely not a low-power operation. I did e-mail the station
per Lucas’s suggestion. We’ll see. Bruce`` I hope this roundup has been helpful. Maybe sometime I shall hear more

5960 via UTwente, where I could be sure of a loud & clear signal -
except for some CCCCCCI. Now at 2200 on 11785, it should arrive better
to deep North America. So I try it direct, March 28: 2158, IS playing
with English IDs, S8/9+20 with quite a lot of pumping fading but no
QRM. No problem from 11780 if that`s Brasil, S3/S6. Timesignal at 2200
is 2.5 seconds late compared to WWV! After s/on citing only four
*other* English emissions, news items include demos in France, PKK
terrorists, bus accident in Sa`udi Arabia, Nashville school shootings.

languages on website, `Weekly Commentary` by a prof at Manchester

accentedess, so I try 26110, see USA. And 28183, see Mexico. Back on
UTwente S9+30/35 at 2249 to catch the multilingual ID reel filler;
2252 s/off with 4 other broadcasts only, 2254* off before IS can be
completed even once. Something`s always awry at Ankara, erroneous at
