heard warming up with chicha music. Ensuing s/on annc't, 0054, said "7745 kHz banda internacional de los 49 metros" and included a greeting from owners, who were mentioned as "familia García Gaona" (not García Arjona as first tent. reported; I'm pretty sure I've got it OK now). Stn location was given twice, and as often is the case, slurring and without particular emphasis. Only after cross-checking the tape with my "Almanaque del Perú" can I establish the QTH as "distrito de San Hilarión", in the province and "departamento" of San Martín. Per speaker, stn is still in a testing stage, but regular transmissions, also in the local morning, will start shortly. (Klemetz) |

LA pop mx, chimes, TC and ID "R. Cristal, la mas potente del pais". Finally confirmed ctry at 0104 and made reference to his "nuevo, potente trasmisor". Exact spelling for town's name still not well defined, sounding phonetically as "Sangayau". Mic audio improved significantly, but rcpn is fair to fairly good. (Nigro) |

Horacio A Nigro's believes the stn is called R Cristal. This is correct. The id tag - repeated over and over again – says "Cristal, la nueva radio, la radio más potente del Perú". Speaker avoids mentioning the QTH, but music is so local in flavour that I'd be surprised if this is anything else than a new pirate from the Huancabamba area in northern Peru. Reception was quite good by 2330, but started deteriorating one hour later. (Klemetz/ Dateline Bogota) |

apparently Peruvian mx, abruptly s/off. No ancmt. Also the following day at 0008 w/ lively mx, but bothered by heavy splatter from powerhouse RTTY on 7750 and local QRN. Continuous campo mx till 0250, then OC and s/off 0300. Very poor but carrier is not so bad. 7746 Re my one previously reported here. Agn hrd on Sept. 6, usual s/off circa 0300. Music modulation level almost normal, but studio mic modulation gets down dramatically. Hrd a woman w/ faint talks. Harmonic or new stn? (Nigro) |
