LATINOAMERCA DX: D Logs de Ralph Perry.

BRAZIL: 9593.0v-.23v, unid. Brazilian but strongly believe "Super Radio Deus e Amor" in Sao Paolo. First noted as an unid LA, when fading-in at 2236 3/10. Het notchable, OM vy weak with anmts in PP or SS, orchls, but weak signal. Followed to 2257, sig building but not really workable. Retuned at 2230 on 3/12 and rewarded to hear no het this day. Initially only a carrier but sig soon fading in with nightfall in ZY land. Definitely PP anmts and seemed sports/futebol nx show with replay, recorded game clips. Noted EZL / MoR ballads at 2310 recheck when signal better still, but no ID yet. Searched lists at hand and learned that frequency-nomadic "Super R. Deus e Amor" of Sao Paolo has recently been IDed here by Euro DXers. Cool log. (R Perry, Illinois)

COLOMBIA: 5910, the Puerto Lleras xmtr noted with a morning xmsn on 3/12, 1104-1118. Romantic HJ canciones with guitar and accordian. Deep fade cycle, nice at peaks and all but gone at troughs. OM locutor mentioning "la radio colombiana" but didn't ID relay source (Marfil Estereo or Alcaravan Radio). Need to get to this earlier next time, before propagation path fade-out. But as luck would have it, gh in Enid OK was tuning this just hours earlier and reports that it was a relay of Radio Alcaravan -- tnx for ID! (R Perry, Illinois)

BOLIVIA - Radio Lipex, Uyuni, heard with fair sig but blipping ute QRM at 1025 until lost at 1047 on 3/12. Ancr a high-voiced OM in SS and lang (QQ or Aymara?) between Andes-flavored music, with clear mentions of 'Bolivia' and several t/cks for GMT-4. Nice opening this morning to the Andes, with good signals noted when checking the usual suspects: 4700 R San Miguel @1020; 4747 R Huanta 2000 also @1020, 4815 R El Buen Pastor @1040; and 4955 R Cultural Amauta @1045. No show for 6134 R Santa Cruz, tho. (R Perry, Illinois)

SOLOMON ISLANDS - 5019.85t, SIBC Honiara, tentative, noted 3/13 1125 tune-in with pretty good carrier level and pgming decipherable mainly when blaring Cuba 5025 in pgm pauses. Sig fading up by 1200 but still nearly unusable. Fragments of orchl and piano music, OM with muffled anmts (intonation and pace at times sounding EE but not readable). Some country music. OM long anmt 1155 to top of hour, with burst of orchl mx. Anmts continued on hr, then orchl music or theme 1202 (almost sounded lika NA, but not sure) and lost 1204. At 1205.30 seems carrier was cut. All I can say is this is a pretty painful way to tune Honiara -- back in the day, they used to come in a heckuva lot better than this . . . ;-) (R Perry, Illinois)

-----------------------------------------
BOLIVIA - 4795.96, R. Lipez, frequency was inadvertently omitted from report just submitted, a little earlier today. Also, it s/be Lipez with a "z" (and not Lipex with an "x" , as I typo'd . . . but am sure you already knew that!) Senior Math: (Older fingers + Olde eyes) = (More typos + Faultier proofreading).
