1996-12-06 Radio Jesus del Gran Poder 5050 QSL confirmed a reception report in Spanish in just 4 weeks by a personal Spanish letter from v/s Hno. Segundo Cuenca OFM.

He writes he is a >>religioso franciscano<< and student of theology, working as an amateur at the radio station where he presents is program of latin american folk music and romantic songs between 2000-2200h local time (=0100-0300 UT). He is a very friendly guy, so in case you still have no QSL from them, you might try to listen to his program and send him a letter: Hno.

1995-07-28 Emisora Jesus del Gran Poder 5049.7 0226 with romantic song, OM w/TC/ID and ad. Parallel 670. Signals only fair--I thought this must have been a Peruvian at first. Their transmitter/antenna is located far enough away, on the oppositeend of Quito, that their ground wave (on shortwave) does not effectively reach the more northerly parts of the city. Much of the SW signal I receive would be ionospheric, reflecting at almost 90 degrees. Sometimes the steep angle is not returned, resulting in a weak signal from a station in the same city.
