1997-04-20 Radio Pio XII 5952.3 0115 very often strong and quite clear in spite of strong co-channel stations, thanks to 600 meter beverage pointed towards central Latin America. Often live programming in Aymara, this night with lots of children playing and singing. (Pedersen, Apr 20) DXWin 62

1997-04-13 R Pio XII 5952.35 0006 pounding through fairly hvy QRN and QRM on the edges. Fast moving, upbeat bi-lingual prgm, mostly not in SP. M&W ancrs, mostly the woman, also animated talk between women, and also talk with someone at a remote site in SSB. During the remote segments their SSB audio was mistuned slightly, but it was restored to its proper pitch by moving up to 5952.40 during these segments. Ment. of "todo el Bolivia," also Bolivian place names, and finally a quick "R. Pio Doce" ID at 0048. Great CP mx, some more upbeat stuff. Best in LSB, and eventually wiped out by WYFR/VoFC-5950 at 0100. But holding forth beautifully until then. (Berg) DXWin 60
