Bolivia, 3309.95, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0937-1000,  At tune in heard a male in Spanish
comments briefly.  After a few comments, music was presented for a couple of minutes.
Following the music a female continued to talk.  Signal was fading in and out at a 
poor level.  (Chuck Bolland,  October 23, 2009)

Honduras, 3340, HRMI (pres), 0945-1000,  Noted steady popular Spanish language music at tune in.  Signal was fair.   (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2009)

Brazil, 5045, Radio Cultura Ondas Tropicais, (pres) 0955-1005,  Noted mostly 
music until 0957 when a male comments in Portuguese briefly.  After a few
comments, back to music. On the hour, more comments.  Signal was fair.

Bolivia, 6155.20, Radio Fides, 1005-1015,  At tune in, noted a female in
 Spanish language presenting the news. Heard some place names such 
as "Cina" during the news.  At 1008 music is presented.  At 1010
 canned promos and ID.   For the first few minutes of this logging, 
 the signal was at a fair level although if had some splatter interfering
 with it. The signal was surprisingly audible this morning eventhough
 there was fading and splatter.  (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2009)

Bolivia, 6134.82, Radio Santa Cruz, 1011-1020,  Noted a male and female in Spanish
comments.  Signal was very poor with splatter.  (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2009)

Bolivia, 6075, Radio Causachun Coca, 1015-1030,  Pulling this signal in required 
a little "tickling". With a very weak signal, noted a male in Spanish comments
 here while the signal drops out periodically to nil then fades back in.  One thing 
about this band regardless of the frequency, there's always enough splatter to
 interfere with the target's reception.  At 1019, a female joined the conversation. 
The station's signal remained at a poor level.  (Chuck Bolland, October 23, 2009)

Guam, 5765,  AFN, 1032-1045,  Steady news and commentary from the Radio
networks(NPR),  in the USA.  The signal was at a fair level with some fading.  (Chuck
Bolland, October 23, 2009)

Considering recent conditions, I feel this morning was exceptional.  Most of my
usual target stations were more audible than previously.  I wondered if this is a trend
or just a fluke that will not occur again?  Anyway, it was encouraging.
