4915 R.Difª, Macapá AM, 2248-2258, 21 Apr, pops; 53332, QRM de B.  Whenever
the sort of prgr from either stn provides no clues for 100% ID, I rely on my
Beverages, whereby the CeAm wire enhances no. Brazil reception while fading
the coastal strip, and vice-versa, and this is usually needed on this fq.
because co-ch. R.CBN Anhangüera in Goiânia GO carries different prgr
typically, news, not religious prgrs) on 11830 at certain times. (Carlos

classical music, freqs. announcement at 0809, opera; 45433.  The odd thing
about reception of this one is that a clearer signal is via the 6x12x6 m Ewe
beamed to CeAfr, not the 41 m inv. V beamed to CeAm-SoIND, but that's surely
on acount of the angle of the signal rather than the azimuth.  (Carlos
Gonçalves - POR)

711 RTM, Laâyoune, 1254-..., 21 Apr, regional prgr in Arabic, Ar. songs;
45454, but a weak audio, so the "O" on the rating would be lower should we

care about the signal quality.  Days earlier, i.e. 15 Apr, I obs'ed this one
2141-..., also with regional prgr in Arabic; 54444 but with a humming &
