PERU - 4790, Radio Vision, Chiclayo, good signals on 5/6 and 5/7 during 100-1040+ period. Big signal with charismatic preacher leading prayers at 1010 on 5/6, best signal in the band. At 1000 on 5/7, OM providing network sked into at 1000, mentioning 'cadena peruana radial . . .'. City names (Cajamarca, Chiclayo) in the network also heard. (R Perry, Illinois)

COLOMBIA - 6035.02, La Voz del Guaviare, 5/3 with usual rosary show at 1011 first note, modulation cranking up and well heard by 1015. 1030 program change to romantic canciones noted, per usual, along with OM deejay with what sounded like a full info s/on anmt and ID. Horrible side slop gets worse after BOH and never fails to drive me away . . . Nice signal on 5/7 at 1024 with YL locutora giving schedule info, as rosary show had just ended. (R Perry, Illinois)

UNID LA - 4865.03v unid Latin heard several mornings this week from. 1015-1030 on 5/6, only weak to fair signal and really can't work. High-voiced OM locutor but too weak to differentiate if SS or PP . . . and then what sounded like a rlg hymn this morning at 1030. Bad QRN. A little better on 5/7 at 1003 t/in with LA ballads, orch and YL/OM duet in love songs. Segued programming, so no anmts for key country clue. Perhaps can eliminate Alvorada (the ZY), as found this pgming not // Alvorada's online stream. Don't want to leap to any identify guesses here, tho, and am still somewhat skeptical that this could be the often-list-reported R Logos from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. As the old joke goes, R. Logos may be reported a lot more often than it is heard, hi hi. Other sets of ears invited to work on this one, tnx. (R Perry, Illinois)

ETHIOPIA - 6110, R. Fana, Addis Ababa, 0310 5/9 nice booming signal on clear fqy with what others have been called "Horn of Africa pop mx". (This type of mx, often schmaltzy love pop, mainly with organ, horns and heavy bass, is eerily similar to the nightclub music played in cabarets in SE Asia; heard a lot of this stuff in the 1980s. 0316 OM anmts in lang, pres. Amharic, and then the instls continued. Pleasant listening and armchair level -- good enough to set as background music while working on other stuff in the office! (R Perry, Illinois)
