[IRCA] Ecuador on 750



While DXing live on Thursday night at around 00:30 EST, I had a great surprise when I heard HCRC2 Radio Caravana on 750 from Guayaquil, Ecuador. From that moment, I began to record a chunk of the band with the Perseus hoping that it could later reveal more surprises on other nearby channels. Surprisingly, after a quick review of the files, there was nothing to cheer for. A few Cubans were observed here and there, but not with authority as the band was largely dominated with domestics.

What surprised me also was the absence of Venezuela on 750, which is usually the dominant LA station here on that channel.

_Clip# 1_: With the station alone on the frequency, promos including one from the /Pollo Rojo/ restaurant, enumerating typical Ecuadorian dishes from their menu like /Aguado de pollo /and /seco de pollo

_Clip# 2_: This time, a phone-in report with Radio Caravana mentions. The clip begin with a mix of domestics with WSB among them then around sec.30, there's a shift in the propagation path and this is where the 25 Kw Ecuadorian station retake the lead http://www.quebecdx.com/ecuador_hcrc2_750c.mp3

Even though this is a relog from 2012, I was very pleased to repeat the experience :)
