Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 2255-2310,  Not much of a signal
yet as the band is just getting started here in Florida.  Noted a male in
Spanish comments which was very weak.  Other stuff also on the freq
mixing in.  On the hour, heard music for a few minutes. Signal was
threshold.  (Chuck Bolland, July 17, 2009)\

Bolivia, 5952.40, Emisora Pio XII, 2314-2330,  At tune in, noted a male
and female in Spanish Language conversation.  Lot's of splatter from
WYFR on 5950, but Emisora Pio XII still has good audio.  At 2323
somekind of promos being presented between a male and female.  It
seemed to be live. Noted music at 2326.   Signal remained fair during the 
period.  (Chuck Bolland, July 17, 2009)

Peru, 6019.30, Radio Victoria, 2329-2345,  With a threshold signal,
noted a male in Spanish comments.  Believe he was giving a religious
speech.  Heard religious words mentioned.  Signal was threshold and
needed some notching to clear up a het.  (Chuck Bolland, July 17, 2009)

Note:  I just replaced the center connector of a dipole antenna I have
with the Alpha Delta Model Delta-C center element.  I had been using
a Budwig Man HQ-1 Center connector which looked like it had seen
better days.  It was all rusted and had old solder and stuff on it.  Anyway, 
the gain from the antenna has doubled with the Alpha Delta center element 
installed.  I would recommend this upgrade to any who
might think their dipole antenna might need a new part.  The Alpha Delta
kit cost me $29.95 plus shipping handling from Universal.
